I guess I'm not on the board's most publicized "ignore list" anymore.

From the guy who casts insults like breaths. Self awareness. Catch it.

You can end marriage subsidies whenever you want. It never factored into a decision that my wife and I ever made.

The Judeo-Christian way of life has worked betteer for more people then any other. Look at the areas of the world that have only been barely touched by it. Or where they are trying desperately to stamp it out. Start with China and India, and then work your way to any number of countries under sharia law presently.

Like I said, the truth just is.

You're not off, it's just I wanted to see your reaction to the issue and it has been predictably hapless and laughable. Thanks for the entertainment, deutschebank.

He never does. It's usually an odd, trivial question or fact that has nothing to do with anything.

So the only alternative to Judeo-Christian beliefs is Islam? Interesting... I never viewed my options this way. Have you ever thought about the fact that they're all bullshit? Or that certain premises they derive are worthwhile, but that the minutia is bullshit?

_________________

You know what? Ignore my last post. It strays from my beliefs. I don't fucking care what anyone believes. If religion makes you happy, fine. But keep it to yourself! Stop trying to be moral arbiters. The book you believe so adamantly in is fine, if you want to believe it. I don't. Many don't. And nothing contained within it should be used to admonish or create laws or moral guidelines for any of us.

Thank you for a sane post in a sea of fucking nonsense.

Another strawman.

I wasn't aware that Islam was the predominant religion in China or India. You remember them, the countries that contain almost half of the world's population.

You don't want questions answered, you want to cast insults. That's DT's well established "thing" here.

Find your own.

Bullshit. My thoughts are based on rationality. If I'm going to insult someone, I'll do it directly. I won't use some old book to hide behind my prejudice. Comparing gays to pedophiles is certainly your right, but at least come out and say it.

_________________

More intellectual dishonesty.

Most laws that protect you in this country were based upon the morality found in that book. You can believe whatever you want. That is a fact.

I'm not comfortable with you being my moral arbiter. You aren't comfortable with me being yours.

I was and am still willing to let you live and let live. You seem unwilling to do the same.

Unfortunately, the scandal with priests is all too much proof that gay priests were in fact pedophiles. I am sure I don't like that any more than you do. A woman who takes advantage of a young male, of which there are now a number of well publicized instances, are also pedophiles. But of a different type.

_________________

No, that is just the façade you present by not stating what you truly believe. Anyone who compares homosexuality to pedophilia is clearly not comfortable with the axiom of "live and let live." It enrages me that evolved human beings hold such opinions. Again, you could go have sex with goats if you'd like. Just don't tell others how to live their lives or claim moral superiority (passive-aggressively or not) based on how you were raised or the myths you choose to believe.

_________________

Many of the predator priests were homosexuals.

Another fact you may not like, but it's a fact none the same.

_________________

So... all homosexuals are pedophiles? Is this what you're saying? Or am I not enlightened enough by the "good book" to understand your perspective here?

This thread about tolerance has taken a surprisingly acrimonious turn.

It's the stress of todays decision. There used to be a time when I could post on this message board without worrying about getting a marriage proposal. That was taken away from me.

You know no such thing was ever said or posited. Or believed privately by me for that matter. That's just an outright lie.

Nor do I believe that I am morally superior to any person here. I have personally broken every one of the ten commandments.

Your argument that gays are SOMETIMES pedophiles is pointless. It is correct, but pointless. Straight people are also pedophiles. And pedophiles can be gay or straight. Also, the sky is blue. What the fuck is your point?
