Is acceptance of Sodomy, and taking Pride in Homo Sin, causing God to send plagues to us on Earth?like Covid?

[C_Clayton_Jones]

I submit to you all that accepting Homosexuality,Transexualism, Lesbianis, beastiality as normal, is causing God to unleash all different kinds of plagues upon us as punishment.Covid 19 being the most obvious one. We must go back to obeying Gods commandments to rid ourselves of these plagues. Your thoughts. The Bibles Book of Revelations stated that this would occur.

Religion is the bane of humankind, used for millennia to justify racism, bigotry, and hate; used by conservative politicians to compel conformity and punish dissent through force of law – particularly with regard to those gay and transgender; hence the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

But conservatives have contempt for the Framers’ mandate that church and state remain separate, and seek to once again use religion as a partisan weapon against political opponents, and as justification for their racism, bigotry, and hate.

Your approach just seems to make God to be whatever you want and need him to be.

A healthy approach, really. If you stuck to the Bible about what Yahweh is, you would be bowing to an evil God.

A healthy approach, perhaps – but also unwittingly acknowledging the fact that ‘god’ is devoid of divinity.

Of course, ‘god’ does exist – as a product of human cultural evolution, as a metaphor for the collective good of man, as a means of contemplation and spiritual enlightenment – and to make ‘god’ be whatever you want and need it to be is further confirmation that ‘god’ was created by man.

Seems the OP is confused, crediting God for Xiden's foremost accomplishment.

Okay.

But if someone is going to accept belief in a god, I prefer that they create the image of it in.light of far superior, modern morality and ethics, than the archaic, evil monsters.portrayed in our first and worst attempts at morality and ethics. E.G. the Bible.

Well since the dems seem more of a plague than the covid all I can say is "Gawd" has one weird fuckin' sense of humor.

And of course it’s the archaic, evil, vengeful ‘god’ portrayed in the bible theists use to justify their racism, bigotry, and hate – as expressed in the OP.

Yes, true. Though I think we can agree that is largely a case of them retrofitting their own fetishes and bigotry to the god character they have created.

Still better than being a strict fundamentalist.

 

[Meriweather]

and correctly assess scripture as being written by men – just as fallible as men,

About time people caught up. I was taught that as a child. Inspired by God. But written by men; interpreted by men; dismissed by some men; studied by others.

"Oh, sure we Christians have
created God out of our own Bigotry. Retrofitting our own fetishes to the God we created ourselves."
How easy for you immoral sodomites to rationalize your perverted acts and sinful ways. You want to continue with your murderous Abortions, Homosexuality, beastiality,lesbianism,transexalism and just say oh, God does not exist,the christsians created their own God!? so we can do as we please, with out any repercussions. The sodomites in Sodom and Gohmorrah said the same as they were destroyed by God.

It is easy. Watch me:

"What two consenting adults do in the bedroom is not immoral."

Man that was easy. But look at the hoops YOU have to jump through, to avoid simply saying you hate gay sex because you think it is icky.

I don't have to pretend I got my idea from an infallible sky daddy. I don't have to cherry pick an iron age text written by terrified, superstitious, illiterate fools. You do.

You, your sky daddy, and your backwards morality can all go sit in the corner. Where modern morality, modern ethics, and modern code of law say you belong.

have - always been regressive ...

when haven't the desert religions been at the forefront of persecution and victimization of the innocent.

 

[JohnDB]

Except for all those times in the Bible when it wasn't.

I have no idea what you are talking about and I probably don't want to either.

You can hate the Author and Authority of Good somewhere else. I just don't care about your opinion. You have proven to me that you hate good and love evil. You are self absorbed and focused. You have replaced altruism or any notion thereof with avarice and moral turpitude.

We have nothing in common.

Wow what a bunch of idiotic, delusional rambling. I hate good and love evil? Haha, iron age mythology has turned your brains to tapioca.

If God is not the Author and Authority of Good then who is?

On what basis do you define what is good?
How do you even know what good is?

And if you look to yourself then you just created a set of falling dominoes that proves my point and disproves yours.

Think fast... you don't have long.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Nobody is. Good and evil have as much substance as they are given. These abstract concepts are artifacts of our introspective self awareness.

We have greatly improved our morality and ethics since these first and worst attempts at both.

Even your morality chiefly arises from where and when you were born. You delude yourself to think you get it from an iron age book of mythology.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Seems to me that if homosexuality were as vitally important as some people make it, then Jesus would have railed against it. He didn't. He never mentioned it.

Do people REALLY think that Jesus was such a fool that he just completely ignored something that you imagine to be so vital?

Do you really think you should talk about morality or ethics? You have no skin in the game.

Sure I do, I have to live in the same society as everyone else. Moving on...

When did you become so tolerant?

When did I stop thinking gay sex was immoral? When I outgrew childish bigotry and iron age mythology. Thank you for your first, on-topic post in quite a while.
