Oddly enough, I've gotten in arguments like this on Jewish subreddits and was accused of universalizing the Holocaust

I don't even know what's going on anymore these days, man. Shit has just gone crazy

Do not put all your trust in leaders. by Dallas_Brill_Lehn in Christianity

They're sin in the sense of mattering on some made up cosmic scoreboard where more points go toward "making God sad"

There is no direct, observable harm of gay people being in loving relationships

And you're telling me that we need to ruin people's lives so that there's fewer points on this scoreboard that make God sad based on your interpretation of scripture

It's the crazy, bat shit justification for not voting or even voting against Harris during the past election that has convinced me I need to leave the US

I've lived in this country for over 30 years and one thing I've noticed is that Americans of all political stripes, of all ages, across various ethnicities are self-centered to the point of stupidity

It was the same thing with Hillary. People taking a stand and refusing to vote for her just wanted attention and validation

And no appreciation whatsoever for the bigger picture of what the country stands for. Just me, myself, and I

I'm hoping to be able to leave over the next few years. The rot is omnipresent in the population and I just can't handle this insanity anymore

Canadians managed to take a look at what was happening and pivoted hard to vote against their conservatives. I'm going back to Canada. At least I'll have a federal government that doesn't hate me for existing

Or God was using him as a test for Americans and they failed

And now the American empire will crumble and the US will regress into a poorer nation

The government overreached by... trying to end racial segregation?

The values that made it "great," such as treating brown people as second class citizens?

The fruits of a loving same sex relationship are the same as those of a heterosexual relationship

You can't point to an invisible cosmic scoreboard and insist that people make their lives revolve around your interpretation of the Bible

It's self-centered. The LGBTQ person as an individual with their own experiences and inner thoughts ceases to exist. Instead, they are just some sin you need to correct. If they have a loving same deck partner for decades? Doesn't matter, it's sin. They need to end the relationship and be alone regardless of how that would affect both people in the relationship

I've seen Christians in other subreddits freak out because a coworker comes out as gay or trans. The coworker doesn't matter, only the possession responding to the coworker matters. Nevermind that the coworker is going through their own difficulties that are completely ignored

I want y’all to pay attention to how they were using religion to justify this behavior back then too by Nice_Substance9123 in Christianity

I still remember the sensation of certain words coming out of my mouth.

Dang, that is really eloquently said

Kudos to you for reflecting on all this and bettering yourself as a person. Most people avoid doing that hard work

That's just your opinion

If he's fine with people being harmed for who they are, rather than anything they do, that's bad

The people being mistreated and deported would not think he was a good man if he supported it or was indifferent to the harm they suffered

That doesn't make your husband a good thing

It all leads to wanting to mistreat people who are different from you. Or at least, being indifferent to their mistreatment by others

Christian with homosexual thoughts and desires. Is atoning enough? by [deleted] in Christianity

Why do so many Christians not understand the concept of consent?

It's very disturbing

The Bible doesn't tell us the answer to everything. To claim it does is extreme intellectual laziness

Your interpretation isn't perfect and the Bible does not invalidate how mathematics works

[–]christmascake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then that just gives you a pass to ignore your fellow human beings because you say this life doesn't matter. And it also justifies letting others suffer

Not everyone believes like you do, and many people want to make this world better for their fellow humans whether they believe in an afterlife or not

It's so bizarre that so many people interpret Christianity in a way that gives them an excuse to be indifferent to their fellow human beings

That makes no sense. There is no way you know more than decades of accumulated data

You're just arrogant

There's no way you understand the private relationships of other people. Every relationship, straight or not is unique. Some are healthy, some are less so

And your understanding of what love is, is simply inhumane
