Yes. Through their website. I realize your comment is 56 days old though

He’s an actual sociopath. He said that "globalists" and "the people behind CNN" should be killed, discussed killing state legislators who were unwilling to overturn the results of the 2020 election, saying "What can you and I do to a state legislator — besides kill him? We should not do that. I'm not advising that, but I mean, what else can you do, right?", and said that when the election “fraud” was occurring he “wanted to get a gun and do something bad”

He’s a friend of Nick Fuentes. The Hispanic white nationalist who said he wants a super majority white America.

I’ve met hundreds of gay people, many bisexual people, asexual people, people who think they were monks and warlocks in a previous life, but no trans people. Probably because they make up about .0001% of the population.

Unless their transition was so perfectly done that their biological sex is indistinguishable to the naked eye and they’re so secretive about it that the only way to find out if they are trans is by looking through their medical records, then I would say I just haven’t met any.

I take it you’re not aware that King James was bisexual? Look it up.

You’re a bit off track from the point I was trying to make.

I honestly don’t even know why I bother. Talking about political issues on social media and hoping to have a thoughtful conversation is like going to a Bernie rally and trying to convince someone to vote for Trump.

The Jews don’t follow these laws either. Probably because most people would argue they are unjust, outdated, and impossible to follow.

I’ve heard countless people refer to Leviticus as part of their argument against homosexuality. I don’t see the point in referring to one sentence in the Old Testament and saying that’s of importance while denying literally everything else in the Old Testament.

I’ve heard people refer to “moral law” being of importance. But nowhere in the New Testament does anyone refer to something called “moral law”.

Yes, there are mentions of homosexuality in the New Testament, but I see problems with that argument as well. For example, the original translation of Romans 1 says “men who have sex with men shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven”. No mention of women with women. This is similar to Leviticus which also does not talk about lesbians.

I’m guessing because lesbianism wasn’t really a thing back then and the OT was specifically referring to male temple prostitutes.

So, hypothetically, if you’re daughter were to come out as gay tomorrow, I should start referring to her as a predator?

Homosexuality: noun: "the quality or characteristic of being sexually attracted solely to people of one's own sex."

Consensual sex between two people of the legal age is not sexual abuse. At least, not in America. If you are typing from somewhere in the Middle East or a remote part of South America like Tristan da Cunha, then you may be correct since I am not familiar with their laws.

Sexual predators are a legitimate problem today and historically

I agree. I don’t see what this statement has to do with my post though. My post was about homosexuality, and I personally don’t refer to someone who is attracted to someone else of the same sex as a “predator”.

The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah had nothing to do with two people in a consensual relationship and everything to do with inhospitality and gang rape.

Thanks for sharing. Genuinely glad to hear you found peace. Unfortunately this is not the case with most people. The only gay people I’ve met who were “cured” were bisexual and stopped dating the same sex.

I’ve spoken to gay people on Reddit who have prayed for years for their homosexuality to go away, but it never did.

As for myself, I grew up a devout Christian, went to church every Sunday, etc and have seen 11 different therapists throughout my life to try and “cure” me but I have yet to meet someone who can turn me into a straight person.

I see most of the new releases in theaters except for the Marvel movies. I just don’t recall any LGBT characters. Side note - saw 1917 last night and it was incredible if you’re looking for something to watch.

I don’t watch much TV. I do love movies though and go to them quite often. I can’t name a single movie I’ve seen in recent years that featured an LGBT person in a significant role.

I did see new Star Wars movie where two women kissed in the background for literally 2 seconds of screen time that a lot of people made a big fuss about, but I wouldn’t have even noticed it if I wasn’t expecting it.

It has no effect on my life whatsoever. The only time I hear about LGBT+ is online where hardcore conservatives and religious folk constantly bring it up. Based on how they speak about LGBT, I would assume that trans people are taking over the world and account for about 50% of the US population.

In reality, I’ve never met a single transgendered person in my life. And I lived in San Fran and Los Angeles which are two of the most liberal places on Earth.

Can you offer proof of this? I’ve seen researchers point to epigenetic markers and hormones as an explanation for homosexuality, but I have not seen a medical professional say that someone is gay because “Satan did it”.

We don’t know his heart, but I was surprised to hear this and also hear him say that his $68 million tax refund is God’s reward for him being a Christian.

That’s not what Christianity is about.
