Hardcore troubadour 12,958 Posted July 9, 2018 Re: religion and homophobia, I consider those that use biblical defense of their homophobia to be full of ######. I guarantee that if the Pope came out tomorrow and said he found another Biblical translation that said they were cool with the gays now, very few would change their stances. For BLM, I will assume that your stats are correct. If that is the case, then there need to be a focus on perception rather than reaction. The response to BLM should not be "F you, ALL lives matter" it should be education on both sides. The perception is that there is a disparity. The reaction is currently not "there is actually not a disparity", the reaction is some version of "They deserve it". Is the 7 you mentioned shot? Or shot & killed? And you are not taking into account general police brutality, and variances in arrests vs whites. There are stats that show teen whites use pot as much as blacks, but the numbers of those in jail tell a different story: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/04/us/marijuana-arrests-four-times-as-likely-for-blacks.html So "blacks commit more crime" may be a bit of "blaks are just arrested more for the same crimes as whites" I guarantee you haven't heard what the pope has had to say about homosexuals. Perhaps you should pay attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the Jews Thats exactly my point. Jesus never says a word about homosexuality. Not one. The only reference to it in the Bible Im aware of at all comes from the Old Testament. Hell, all the sex stuff in the Bible is either Old Testament or St. Pauls letters to the so and so. Jesus never bothered to mention it. Must not have been that important to him. Yet for some reason, that seems to be a front and center issue for American Christians in many cases. Jesus himself hung out with a prostitute, and said things like, love thy neighbor.

Homo's are welcome in the Catholic Church. Now trannies sharing bathrooms with kids is a different story. Almost no one is for that, just people like Shonuff and MDC.

It doesnt just go away and its finny watching Christians try to pick and chose what parts they want to claim when they see fit. This is true. I'm not going to bring up that adherents of other religions "do it too" because that's not what matters. If someone is reading the bible and seeking to be intellectually honest, apparently there is no need to dodge this. But there is a need to understand Levitical law and how it played into the well lived out but unwritten (and probably written) law of the culture. And a need to pay simple attention to division of how precepts in the Old Testament are delivered, for whom, and to what purpose. It's not highly interpretive although personally I'm working on actually seeing that myself, instead of taking others word for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baker Boy 1,501 Posted July 10, 2018 The 32-year-old Trump adviser was reportedly heckled at a sushi restaurant near his apartment in the District during an encounter that spurred him to immediately throw the meal away, according to The Washington Post. One night, after Miller ordered $80 of takeout sushi from a restaurant near his apartment, a bartender followed him into the street and shouted, 'Stephen!'" the Post reported. “When Miller turned around, the bartender raised both middle fingers and cursed at him, according to an account Miller has shared with White House colleagues." "Outraged" over the incident, Miller reportedly proceeded to throw the sushi away for fear that a restaurant employee spit into his order or possibly tampered with it. http://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/2018/07/10/trump-adviser-stephen-miller-reportedly-threw-away-80-sushi-after-bartender-gave-him-finger.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electric Mayhem 35 Posted July 10, 2018 here EM I am willing to compromise on EVERY single issue that I stand for Abortion- 1st tri-mester Illegals- deport all felons, permanent work visas for the rest as long as they are contributing, DACA gets citizenship, build the wall Guns- ban scary AR 15 types, but thats it, no gun legislation is allowed for 100 years Weed- decriminalize and allow all states to decide Gay Marriage- who cares refugees- let them in if they draw a picture of Mohammed Trannys- piss wherever you want, dont tell us we need to accept you as normal I am against abortion, pro gun rights up to automatic weps, for deportation of illegals and against DACA being given citizenship, against bringing in refugees from the middle east, and against trannies using girls restrooms, however these are my compromises Abortion: I'm actually more right leaning here. I struggle with the exact moment that a buch of cells becomes a person that deserves protection. First hearbeat? First brain activity? I don't know. It's not conception, but it sure as hell isn't late term. If I looked a the development timeline I'd probaly be way before the end of the 1st trimester (could be wrong) Illegals: same, but f the wall. It's impossible to build and maintain, and would be a huge money sink, eyesore, and momument to shittyness. And it also wouldn't work. Guns: I'm pro regulation. More regulation for deadlier weapons. Easy check for bolt action rifles. More for pump shotguns. More for semi-auto. More for pistols. More for carry/conceal. More for full auto. Some of these "more" include regular safety checks, classes etc. No more Uncle HeeHaw with a full arsenal in his basement or Grandpappy with an assortment of loaded handguns hidden throughout the house. Weed: same Gay marriage: Psst. Gay people care. They are the same as everyone else, treat them that way. (but I'd galdly take "who cares" as a stance from many people) Refugees: The current vetting process is around 1.5 years I believe, and covers extremism. Sounds appropriate to me. LBGT+ rights: See above re: gay marriage. In a nutshell, the place you are willing to compromise to is basically the place I would be happy for everyone on the right to get to. The problem is not many people will move away from their stances, usually only because is is "THEM" that is proposing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electric Mayhem 35 Posted July 10, 2018 I guarantee you haven't heard what the pope has had to say about homosexuals. Perhaps you should pay attention. Of course I have. His current stance is the old "hate the sin, love the sinner" routine. He also welcomes the LGBT community into the Church (but of course they would need to repent for having same sex... sex) Even that, though, is too much for many on the right who are now actually delegitimizing THE POPE saying he is not adhering to the Bible's teachings.
