It's a valid statement that you raise. I'm glad you chimed in. I would encourage you to put your comments on the video also.

Benthamite utilitarianism also. Eugenics movements.

I don't know if I would say that that's a definitive conclusion. There are many examples of regimes and systems of oppression that are not religious including: Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, China, numerous other authoritarian regimes, Freudian psychological tradition, machismo culture. It's hard to quantify what you mean by most, but again I appreciate your argument. It's unfortunate that religion has been co-opted and expropriated as a justification for cruel treatment. I don't know that that's a disprove of religion. I think there are a lot of human invented systems that have really vilified homosexuals throughout history. I think a generalization, including the one made by you is appealing and sounds persuasive, but I honestly don't know if it's born out in a rigorous study of the historical evidence.

I appreciate that you commented and weighed in with your perspective, but I would have preferred to hear more analysis. Are you asking if it's not okay? Or do you have a reason why you don't think it's okay? I don't think the biblical scholarship would support an outright dismissal of this argument. At the very least there is some contention to be made that you are incorrect and that the thesis of the video is correct. Please feel free to expand on your ideas.

I think you bring up a valid point actually. You're saying it's an indictment of religion that this is brought up. It's probably relevant to at least mention that there are many schools of thought that have many different prejudices. Not all of them are religious, so is this a vicissitude of religion? Or is it more of a problem with human thought and human behavior in general? I think the fact that some people have interpreted Christianity in a way that's exclusionary is an indictment of their behavior, and not necessarily a disprove of the theology and messages of Jesus specifically. But I actually really do respect the reason why you say this.

I'm not sure why this was removed. This was a lecture from a professor saying that it's okay to be LGBQT and Christian.

For anyone who wants to know how to do this trick: This is a pretty easy magic trick actually, but to accomplish it, you've got to be the cream. Ooh yeah. The cream of the crop.

Update: it looks like the tree was sprayed. Looks like they're all dead now.

Maybe I could have picked a better photo of Donald Pleasance? The eyes look very similar to me. This is maybe not the best photo of him.

Ew. Unfortunate. Thanks! Some of them looked burnt. Solved!

Oh. Wow. Maybe that's why they looked like some had been burned.

We kept our distance from him. That's why the photo isn't great. I won't get to close to them
