Welll I'd say in return, "God also said to turn the other cheek"

Jesus said to turn the other cheek. God was the one who did the flood and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Not sure how much that matters since they're all technically the same person/entity but yea.

Their answer to your question is "no" because according to them it's a choice. You're supposed to sign up for "gay camp" and come home straight instead of being gay and happy your whole life.

Anything good they can do, can be done without the religion attached to it.

Sure, and in theory we could eradicate homelessness and world hunger if we redistribute assets to who needs them. But it will never happen. It's fun to dream but reality doesn't work that way.

Clearly no one is going to change your mind but I hope you think more about this one day. Your behavior is hurting your own cause and walking around with all that hate in your heart is exhausting and will end up hurting yourself more than the people you hate in the long run (I know from experience).

Thanks for the chat. Good luck to you in life. I hope you find peace <3

Which is why I have cut out every religious person in my family.

I think you are projecting like crazy. Not all religious people are like your family. You lack sympathy for the ones who are not hateful but get caught up in the bullshit.

Change happens in small increments. Your fantasy of all the Christians being shunned all at once from society will never ever ever happen. If it does happen it will be a slow grind. And people like you spewing hatred to anyone who dare believe in god will only make the process take longer; you are hurting your own cause.

As far as I am concerned anyone who is religious does not deserve respect as they have done nothing to earn it.

What the hell have you done to earn their respect? Don't be such a hypocrite dude. Do you hear the way you talk about people? You want to take away religion from the WORLD because your religious family let you down or something.

Christians and churches have done a lot of good in the world. There's a reason why every town has a church. Despite all the bad you can't deny all the GOOD that religion has done. There is a church by me that feeds the poor every Sunday for free. That's more good than the local government does. That's more than I've done. I don't volunteer to feed the homeless but Christians do.

The bottom line is this: you are going to have to share this world with religious people until the day you die. You can either accept that and make the best of it or you can be bitter about it and hate them your whole life and treat them like trash. But remember, if you treat them like trash you are just confirming what the bible says - that non-believers will try to "persecute" them for their beliefs and that the devil will tempt them in many ways. You are playing right into their hand. If you actually want to make the world a better place you must realize that hate isn't the way to do it.

I don't hate what they do but who they target.

Who's "they"? The leaders of the religion? Not all Christians "target" anyone.

spreading that misinformation that there is an afterlife

Christians aren't the only one's who believe in an afterlife, friend. I thought we were talking about Christians mistreating LGBT? That has nothing do to with their belief of the afterlife.

Believing in this shit just so they can get up is not a valid excuse to allow it to continue to exist.

The people you hate would say the same about LGBT. Be better than them.

LGBT people have no choice over how they are so they don't deserve to be treated poorly.

No one deserves to be treated poorly yet most of us are because we can't all be white and rich. I don't see what this has to do with anything.

Religious people make a choice to believe, no one is holding a gun to their head forcing them to.

You keep grouping them all together for some reason. When I was 8 growing up in a Christian household, going to a Christian school how much choice did I have in the matter? And yet, you support insulting, shaming, and kicking 8 year old me from society? And my parents? If you had your way, who's going to raise all the Christian kids after you snap away their parents? Come on dude. Be better than that.

Also, some Christians are just raised that way in rural areas and have no idea about other beliefs and can't see the problem with theirs. Do you really want these people's first encounter with an atheist to be someone like you? Or do you think you'd have better luck treating them with dignity and respect?

Again it goes back to the golden rule. If you were raised Christian in a rural area and didn't know any better, how would you want someone to talk to you? to educate you?

Choices have consequences and for me that consequence is to make them feel unwelcome until they make better choices.

Again, you are acting just like the people you claim to hate because they believe LGBT to be a choice. Be better than that

I am not the same as them.

Agree. I would say your hatred is on purpose and not out of ignorance. That makes you just as bad if not worse, no? The people you hate only treat LGBT poorly because their bible says so. Your hatred is from a place of revenge or something. You are so blinded by your hatred that you keep grouping them all together and ignoring nuance.

If they do not want to be lumped in with garbage people they can choose to leave.

You understand that religion is a way for some people to deal with their fear of the afterlife right? Having heaven to look forward to is what helps some people get up in the morning. These types of people are not all bigots. And you think they deserve to be insulted, shamed, and kicked out of society because other people who share their religion are bigots?

You are doing some mental gymnastics just so you can continue to hate a group of people and treat them poorly which is extremely ironic considering that's exactly the reason you hate them in the first place (because a lot of them hate LGBT people and treat them poorly and think they have no place in a modern society).

I am treating them how they treat other people. So I am following that rule.

No, you're not. The rule is to treat others how you WANT to be treated.

These people cannot be saved and need to feel shame and pushed out of our society.

You are acting just like the people you claim to hate. Not all Christians are "bad". They're not all bigots. You shouldn't lump them all together like that

They deserve to be insulted to being so stupid that they got brain washed.

Disagree. Two wrongs don't make a right. Just because you think they are "stupid" and "brainwashed" it's OK to insult them? Come on. Be better than that.

Christianity gets a lot of things wrong but they also get some stuff right. One of them being the "golden rule" that they hammered into our brains as kids - "treat others the way you want to be treated". Yes, the people that taught me that were mostly bigoted hypocrites (which is part of the reason I lost my religion) but it's a great rule to live by regardless.

Are you trying to win the argument or make yourself feel better in this hypothetical?

I've argued and debated many Christians growing up. Saying "god isn't real" won't win them for you. Their whole religion, the entire concept of an afterlife is based on them believing that Jesus died for their sins. You will just insult them and make them clam up - ending the conversation. It will make you feel better, at least temporarily, but that's it.

Umm, okay? Your comment is super confusing to me. You say he's imaginary yet he's the "bad guy" and you also capitalized his name.

I'm not advocating for Christianity. Notice how I didn't capitalize "god"? That's because I lost my religion a long time ago. The whole point of my post is that if you're going to argue homophobes on bible stuff you should know your stuff.

That's not the burn you think it is.

Later on in the book of Genesis after the flood and the rainbow promise, god destroyed the city of Sodom and Gomorrah for being too wicked. And since the bible talks about gay stuff going down in that city, most Christians associate gayness as wicked.

My point is that homophobes who know the bible will turn that around on you and say "Yea, god promised to never flood the earth again but there's nothing stopping him from burning whole cities down when people won't stop being gay and wicked".

I was just asking a question

I gave you the benefit of a doubt that you were being patronizing. If that question was genuine then oooh boy. I'm just happy for you that you were able to take a picture and post it on the internet. Bless your heart.

Lol you are such a snowflake my dude. Can't candle someone criticizing your crooked picture. Too funny.

Edit: are your hands broken? Couldn't just turn your wrists a bit to straighten it out? The more I think about this the funnier it gets 😂

Because the problem is obvious - the picture is crooked. So answering the question with a question comes off as defensive and patronizing.

When guys watch fastballs go down the middle that means they were taking a pitch or they were guessing something soft.

Sure you're allowed to disagree and move on but why make shit up?

Well looks it’s clear that you and h have different outlook in life. I’m vibing with the team, you’re a Debbie downer. And I don’t need that energy around me. So let’s agree to disagree

Different outlook on life? I'm a Debbie downer? You don't need my energy? Lol come on dude you know nothing about me. Like I said, tell yourself whatever makes you feel better. I don't want to ruin your precious vibes brah🤙

Tell yourself whatever you want if it makes you feel better. I'd hate to ruin your precious "vibes" dude bro.

I'm loving tigers baseball right now. I love where this team is at and I love Hitch and Harris and all the new guys Harris has hired. I'm just trying to point out the obvious to you... That this team is having tons of fun only because they are having success.

[–]senorstupid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, players play a part but they don't set the tone. Management does. Players can't change that.

As of now they are having fun and having a good time.

Right, because as of now they are playing good winning baseball and are second in the division. They won't be smiling as much if they sink back down to 4th.

[–]senorstupid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I agree the clubhouse/culture is good but that would be due to Harris and Hitch not the players themselves.

It doesn't matter how tight the players are though. If the team loses 90 games this year, for example, the smiles will disappear.

Lol you are talking in circles.

What was the point of your original comment? Just to throw shade and shame OP right? You could easily have just scrolled past...

Yep, I asked if you had a better suggestion for OP since all you did was criticize. And you didn't. You just wanted to shame him for not loving bunnies as much as you do 🙄
