    If you can be converted to being gay, then you were always gay. It’s like if you have to pray the gay away, you are gay my guy

    Every accusation is a confession. Also it’s funny to think everyone is a latent homosexual all they need is to come in contact with another homosexual to activate their homosexuality.

      It’s sort of true. If you have been raised to suppress your wants of people of the same sex, being confronted with things that you find arousing and forbidden makes that suppression hard. That is, you are now aware that you are gay.

      Considering all the other things they consider temptations, if it’s half as fun as everything else they hate, I might have to try this being gay thing!

        I hear it’s okay to suck a few cocks as long as you clearly say, “no homo” first. Just a fyi if you were seriously considering giving in to your sinful thoughts.

      Weird I’ve heard about this from so many countries, from Japan to almost every communist country.

        The US did it too for a while. The justification seems to have been something to do with left-handed versus right-handed brain processing or something like that. They were worried that they were going to get a generation of artists and poets and that no one would actually do anything industrial.

        Also there’s something in the Bible about people having left hands being agents of the devil, although it seems to only be in certain editions.

        The idea that left-handed people are more artistic than right-handed people has been debunked for years now and yet it’s still something people seem to think is true.

    This is an asinine take on Christianity. What’s the point here?

    The vast majority of Christians in the world don’t do this and don’t think like this. Hateful people are going to hate what is different no matter its form.

    If you labeled this “Muslims openly behead gays because they believe gays would do the same” the post would be just as inane as it is in its current state.

    Hate is hate.

      Yeah. I’m a very religious Christian and never knocked a door and I believe homosexuality isn’t a sin. And I know atheists or at least agnostics who actually believe that there’s an homosexual propaganda trying to “homosexualize” people.

          It really doesn’t. English translations of it do, but in the Greek, it pointedly avoids using the words for homosexuality.

          The one exception is Romans 1, but it’s a rhetorical argument against the legalism of the Jewish Christians, not against homosexuality.

            Why would you trust the Greek translation on that topic? They had a clear bias on the subject that would’ve influenced word choice.

              The New Testament was written in Greek.

              The only Hebrew verses that discuss homosexuality are even more vague and difficult to translate.

              I’m not trying to convert you or persuade you the Bible is actually pretty cool. I’m just telling you what’s in it.

              • The problem with all of the New Testament and much of the Old Testament is that it has been altered over time again and again. While for some texts in the old bible there is good reason to assume them to be reliable, a lot is not.

                Especially the New Testament is clearly a product of trying to mix abrahamic faith with pagan beliefs. You can see this in the concept of trinity and Jesus being the literal son of god. This directly contradicts the commandments given to Moses and Allah has rejected it again in the Quran. Also these concepts were not of the time of Jesus, but developed some hundreds year after. It is also contradictory to much the New Testament says about the life of Jesus, as he was explicit not to speak in his name, but in the name of God.

                This is very different to the Quran, where already at the time of revelation much effort was made for preservation in the original form, as well as the life of the prophert Mohammed being documented too.

      So… the Catholic Church, well known for traveling the world to shove Jesus down everyone’s throats, is an American institution now? Got it.
