A few questions for the fundies

[Taz]

You can only feel better when you're putting me down because you know that your arguments alone can't do it. You're trying to make gays sit at the back of the bus in the US, and if you replaced the term "gays" with "black people" and used the same arguments, we'd all be back arguing the same things that we did back in the 60s. As for abortion, if you're against it, don't have one, but don't presume that you know how everyone should treat their own bodies. But noooooooo, you want to get right up in everyone's face about it, even when you don't even have a solution to your perceived problem.

You are, yet again, completely wrong. I'm enjoying calling you out for what you are because I know that my arguments have already done the job of utterly refuting you, and it's time for a victory lap.

I'm not trying to make homosexuals do anything except stop forcing their beliefs and desires on others. They're perfectly welcome to do whatever they please with their own lives. I get along quite well with a great many gays and transgenders who respect the rights of others to co-exist without applauding them all the time and look for ways to allow everyone to live their lives comfortably alongside each other. I don't get along with, or even try to get along with, people who think "co-existence" can only be achieved by bludgeoning everyone they disagree with into silence.

Oppressing anyone would require me to be a lot more damned interested in them than I happen to be.

I don't recall any arguments about black men using public bathrooms with women in the 60s, but perhaps you can get me a link to that.

I'm really fascinated by how you're frothing at the mouth over all manner of positions I haven't actually stated, simply because you have decided that I hold them. It's almost like you're trying to FORCE me into being what you want, yet again. Or perhaps it's like you're trying desperately to have a debate with yourself instead of me, because that's the only way you can win.

Like you have gay friends, lol. They'd out you in a second for your homophobia. But ya, take a victory lap, because in Trump's new America, all the losers are now winners.

Her words were completely credible, unlike Mr. I don't know what Normal means.

She is indeed, taking a victory lap, and if you truly believe she is NOT, then you need to stop kidding yourself.

She is the grumpiest and most hateful person here. She can't debate without all her "I'm so superior to everyone else" schtick, which usually means that she's a small, frustrated person with a massive chip on her shoulder over her failures in life so she comes here to feel better about herself.

Like seriously, she has both "a great many" gay AND transgender friends? Don't make me laugh, I'd be surprised if she has ANY friends, lol.

Btw, you both aren't normal. Accept it.

Dude.

Stop kidding yourself.


Yes, plenty of conservative and/or religious people have plenty of friends that are different then them.


It is you lefties that feel that you have to define anyone that disagrees with you as stupid and/or evil.


And she has totally kicked your ass here, even better than I have.


And I crushed you like a bug.

You crushed me so badly that you have to keep following me around to remind me of it.

Admitting that the Christians are normal in no way requires you to support anything they do or say.



You just have to start addressing what they say, instead of trying to marginalize them...


Mmm, is that what this is about?


Do you know that you cannot justify your positions on the issues based on their merits?

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Religious people are trying to teach Creationism is school, a totally made up concept. They are trying to deny gays the right to marry, to be served in stores (the cake incident...). They are also trying to overturn Roe vs Wade and tell people what to do with their own bodies. They are heavily against the transgender. They support Israel for the sole reason of igniting Armageddon so that Zombie Jesus can come back again. Don't actually want anyone else to have actual freedom of religion, like Muslims who aren't allowed sharia law, and Rastafarians who will get arrested for smoking weed, which to them is part of their religion. Should I go on?

Blah blah blah "I see the world this way, and you must pretend that it is reality!"

I just heard you say exactly what I already did, which basically makes it a redundant waste of time: you think you need the "right" to have everyone who disagrees with you shut up and let you pretend no beliefs but yours exist.

I find the constant need of leftists to spew their poison into society enormously annoying, but you don't see me trying to deny them the right to express their beliefs and try to influence public policy according to them by sniveling about need "freedom from idiots". Sack up, dude. If I didn't make it clear before, no one's "forcing" religion on you unless someone's actually hauling you to church in handcuffs.

I just showed you how the religious are trying to force others to live by their rules. You don't have to shut up, you just have to stop trying to get me to live by your rules, which your side fights incessantly for them to be put into laws.

No, you just showed me that religious people are availing themselves of the same First Amendment rights to try to affect society that you have no problem arrogating to yourself. If I pointed out that leftists are teaching all manner of things in classrooms - not just TRYING to teach them, but actually teaching them - that the parents of the children themselves find repellant, that gays are shutting down businesses and hauling people in front of the US Supreme Court to demand that they do things they don't want to, that leftists pushed abortion-on-demand on the nation by dodging around the actual legal process for passing laws, that they are trying to pass laws actually demanding that people not just tolerate their behavior but must actively pretend to agree with them, we both know you would just airily dismiss it all as no big deal, and insist it wasn't forcing anything on anyone.

I think what I'm trying to say is that you're a giant, whining hypocrite who should grow a pair and learn that you have no right to be agreed with and applauded. MOST people figure that out by the time they hit kindergarten, but I realize that leftists are a bit slow.

You can only feel better when you're putting me down because you know that your arguments alone can't do it. You're trying to make gays sit at the back of the bus in the US, and if you replaced the term "gays" with "black people" and used the same arguments, we'd all be back arguing the same things that we did back in the 60s.

Another oppressor pretends to be the oppressed...same playbook since the beginning of time...same arguments made by the racists during desegregation...you're not very original.

[sealybobo]

My questions for you when you've gain full power in this nation are:
1. Will I be able to live(at all) in your christian fundie nation 10 years from now?
2. Will I still be able to watch porno and have freaky sex with my wife?
3. Will I be able to talk about the shit I do today 10 years from now when you're fully in power? Meaning will I be allowed to discuss issues that have to do with LGBT?

1 secretly but don’t tell your boss. Hell with the internet they know who’s a republican atheist gay minority. Facebook knows more about you than you know

2. No porn. It’ll be like watching child porn.

3. Don’t ask don’t tell

[Not2BSubjugated]

Predicting the future isn't too far off from reading minds, conceptually speaking

That's not appropriate, as I am doing neither of those things. Any fool can look up and see the scoreboard.

Actually, you can't see the scoreboard to which we're referring. The funny thing about history is that the people who decide which side was the "right" side, do so well after the shit happened. You know, once it's ACTUALLY become history. Declaring who is CURRENTLY on the right or wrong side of history is, in fact, the same thing as predicting the future. I can't even believe I have to explain this to you, it's such an obvious concept.

Your problem here seems to be that you're conflating "normal" with "good". You're saying that Christians aren't normal because you find their beliefs to be unreasonable, but the term, "normal", has nothing to do with what you find reasonable. Normal just means common, and religious people are the majority of the human race. Thus, normal.

In looking at various dictionary definitions for "normal", I've come across the following:

Conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected

The usual, average, or typical state or condition

Conforming to common standards, usual

You see that? Nothing about what you find to be good or reasonable. Thus stating arguably crazy or hateful things that Christians believe doesn't, in fact, make them abnormal. I promise, if you pull the emotional connotations away from that word, it'll all make a lot more sense.

Christians believe in the existence of God. So do the other adherents of other religions. Atheism is not the norm.

He is just playing sophist word games to marginalize Christians, at least in his own mind,


to give himself an excuse for not addressing their views or ideas, seriously and honestly.

It goes like this, I'm more normal than you are.

The vast majority of people in this country, know what the word "normal" means.


That makes them, and me, normal, and you not normal.


You are being delusional.




Admitting that the Christians are normal in no way requires you to support anything they do or say.



You just have to start addressing what they say, instead of trying to marginalize them...


Mmm, is that what this is about?


Do you know that you cannot justify your positions on the issues based on their merits?

Christians aren't normal, they believe in an invisible superbeing that raped a human to have a son. Now c'mon, let's face it, there's nothing normal about that, it's totally nuts.

Your problem here seems to be that you're conflating "normal" with "good". You're saying that Christians aren't normal because you find their beliefs to be unreasonable, but the term, "normal", has nothing to do with what you find reasonable. Normal just means common, and religious people are the majority of the human race. Thus, normal.

In looking at various dictionary definitions for "normal", I've come across the following:

Conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected

The usual, average, or typical state or condition

Conforming to common standards, usual

You see that? Nothing about what you find to be good or reasonable. Thus stating arguably crazy or hateful things that Christians believe doesn't, in fact, make them abnormal. I promise, if you pull the emotional connotations away from that word, it'll all make a lot more sense.

Actually, we started out by discussing what's normal, now we're on what's the norm. Either way Christians aren't it. They are a minority in the world, so not the norm, and believe that a ghost raped a human, which is not normal either.
