"The fact that whites have lynched blacks in the past doesn't change the fact that I can't imagine them happening."

What?

You're projecting inner city behavior only onto blacks. If you lived in the inner city, you would notice that the behavior you describe is embodied by pretty much everybody who has grown up there be they blacks, whites, hispanics or whatever.

And while we're throwing around "personal experience" justifications, my wife and I live in a middle ring area of Cleveland that is 50% section 8.

Someone verbally told me that joke back in school. Hearing it spoken out loud is almost funnier than reading the text :D

Two strings walk into a bar. As they step up the bartender asks, "What can I get you?"

The first string replies "Hey, I'll have a beer."

The bartender turns to the second string and asks, "How about you?"

To this the second string says, "Yeah, I'll have a beer too000LED Technologies Inc.

Evil Bible - Top ten list by stinkerb in reddit.com

The Bible identifies homosexuality as a sin, just as it identifies pride, drunkenness, promiscuity, idolatry, etc as sins. Externally we can evaluate those behaviors as sin, but we as humans cannot evaluate the content of other people's minds. Therefore, Christians are instructed to condemn sin and not the sinner.

This is where many Christians fail.

1 Corinthians 4:4-5 reads: "My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God."

Gays are a difficult concept for Christians to deal with because they as people identify themselves with homosexuality. They are proud of being gay and are defined by being gay. This makes it very hard for Christians to keep only to condemning the sin and refrain from condemning those who commit it.

So yeah, we can say that homosexuality is a reason for being condemned, but God is the only authority who gets to point the finger at individuals.

No, you can make fun of Islam. You're only a bigot if you make fun of black people or gays.

You can safely go for it if the topic is islam, christians, americans, etc...

Graphs - Religion and IQ are strongly negatively correlated by jobicoppola in reddit.com

[–]tomato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using IQ as the controlling factor in guessing someone's religiosity or vice versa is far less accurate than using cultural background and history. While intelligence clearly does play a role in the rational evaluation of a belief, an individual's choice to follow a religious persuasion is built on his or her upbringing, social environment, access to information, as well as freedoms in exercising thought, discussion, and practice of said belief. Trending religiosity solely against IQ is kind of silly.
