Are we not all just children stuck in adult bodies. /end cringe philosophy. I wrote it in this context because I hoped it would be easier to relate to for someone, clearly, not religious. Religious freedom is not a blanket “do whatever you like” free-card. I believe RF is covered under Freedom of Expression, at least in most European Contries. It’s limited to not infringe on other people’s freedom of expression.
Your next paragraph is also best answered with; their freedom of expression is limited to not infringe on other people’s freedom of expression. And this is what makes this so hard.
“Except LGBTQ people are real, you can go outside and talk to them, they will talk back at you.”
Again, I know lgbtq is real, if god is real or not doesn’t matter, that’s not relevant, the actions of those convinced he is real, those actions are real.
“What are we even talking about”
I was trying to have a discussion about that, in my view sexual freedom and religious freedom are very similar. They are both the fight for freedom of extression.
And my other thought (not so popular thought, so you better not air it) was that recently this fight for lgbtq feels inorganically amplified by legacy media. It makes me suspicious about if there might be a divide and conquer agenda behind it.
It’s fun to discuss with you, you seem like you argue in good faith. Managed to slip in a semi-dad joke too.

You got me there. Can’t ague with that - and my point was unnecessary provokative. Sorry.

It kind of matters a lot, since people justify their action by the fact that god is real and therefore their morals are absolute.

I think, I can see your argument - maybe on a philosophical level I even agree with you. But I just realize it’s something I have to think about for my self for some time.

I don’t consume legacy media, so I can’t really argue on that one.

Dang, I don’t even have kids, it’s just getting old.
Thanks, you gave me an argument to think about - I’m just a slow thinker. If I reach something that sounds reasonable but contradicts with my view on a topic, I need first to unwind my own argument and how I arrived there, takes some times - but helped me extremely to take heat out of conversations.

We started on opposing sides and reached a kinda agreement and hopefully, we both grew as a result of it. I like you.

Likewise, thanks for the conversation.
