It doesn't change the reality. And no, "people like you" do not need to be corralled into re-education camps. You'll eventually die of your own accord, and the next generation is growing up largely without these prejudices. Undoubtedly, some of your views will convince some of them, so we have decades more of this type of attitude - but it's on the wane.
        What is on the wane? Did you forgot that Islam is on the rise worldwide? That by demographics alone western Europe may be lost in 50-70 years? You have no reason to be optimistic Carp. Never mind the fact that you are once again arguing for positions that most likely you would not have held sixty years ago or if you were born in any number of different countries. And Carp, it is not a tactic - if you are intolerant of the intolerant that still makes you intolerant. You just happen to believe that your opinion is correct, just as I believe that my opinion is correct. And I'm not even hoping that leftists like you die off, but you are hoping that people like me die off. Who really is the bigot here?

          Hey idiot, I was speaking about gay men:Of course if context is the only thing that defines the morality then the Christian is on solid ground when he claims that sex between men is immoral.

              Yes it is but, like Christianity, there is more and more of an acceptance growing in this religion as well. As with Christianity, it is only the more right-wing, "fundamentalist" branches that have not made this transition.

              Yes - I am intolerant of bigotry, racism, prejudice, and harm done to innocents. Guilty as charged!

              I do think you discriminate, and I think you have unwarranted prejudices. My intolerance is for a worldview that does harm - a position you choose to old. Yours is for a specific kind of people. So, ultimately, with respect to the LGBTQ community, I do believe you are a bigot. You, on the other hand, do not HAVE to have those views. You choose to. So long as you do, you will be a bigot in my book. I'm sure that does not mean much to you, but there it is.

                I can't believe I missed that one - and right after an earlier comment about how many people assume "homosexual" means "men." The "condom" threw me.

                  Not really, the fact is you may have seen the high mark of such acceptance.

                  Nonsense Carp, we have been through this before.

                  Homosexuality
                  Muslims overwhelmingly say that homosexual behavior is morally wrong, including three-quarters or more in 33 of the 36 countries where the question was asked:

                  That makes you a hypocrite.


                  Actually, I did not call you a bigot. I do think you discriminate, and I think you have unwarranted prejudices. My intolerance is for a worldview that does harm. Yours is for a specific kind of people. So, ultimately, with respect to the LGBTQ community, I do believe you are a bigot. You, on the other hand, do not HAVE to have those views. You choose to.
                  Carp, it is not merely a specific people, but a worldview I'm taking exception to. And you do not have to have your religious bigoted views - you choose to!

                    I was specifically speaking of men earlier - which you noticed.

                      The question is why were you specifically speaking of men?

                          Yes, we have, and your assumptions and denials were as weak then.

                          No. It just means I am intolerant of the things I listed. The things I listed were views - not people. But if you think of me as a hypocrite, so be it. I think I can probably get by.

                          People used to defend their racism, and their support for slavery, on the basis of religion, the bible, and a "worldview" as well. It didn't make it any less racist. Your bigoted views about the LGBTQ community have been noted, called out, and every attempt on your part to justify them is simply not going to do so. They remain bigoted, prejudicial, and simply unkind.

                            Because I don't think STDs are that wide spread among lesbians, at least I don't remember reading that.

                              That may be right, though I think both are immoral.

                                Sorry, but I still just find it strange that people can argue so emphatically for relative positions that they know in their hearts are largely the result of the timing and place of birth.

                                No, I don't think you are hypocrite, you are by definition. You are intolerant of religious views that don't agree with you.

                                Of course you are since everything I said is reflected in Scripture in one form or another.
