Another one of these? This is REALLY becoming redundant...

I saw no apologies, merely, "I'm leaving now before I get banned," and, "you want to be dumb, be dumb."

The first step would be saying what I just did?

And insulting someone is indeed a flame.

I am getting kind of tired of the, "ewwww gay people!" trend that going around all over the world...

Yes I was Quet... You said it twice...

To be honest I never got why people are offended from being hit on. If someone hits on you, you can turn them down, and it only means they find you attractive. That's a compliment. Hitting on someone is not the same as raping or violating them.

I received no apology for being called a, "homo," which I stated was derogatory.

I actually enjoy their presence. A majority of my friends are lesbians.

I detect someone got a warning, thus they are backing down now and passing it off as if they are trying to be a bigger person.

1. Homo is a derogatory word. I ask kindly to not use it if that's all right. 2. The bible contradicts itself all the time, and has little to no evidence, not to mention it was written by HUMANS, and during it's NUMEROUS translations people changed it. So how is IT without flaw? Catholics admitted (Remember this was back when Catholics were the only branch of Christianity) they had changed the bible to appeal to Pagans to get them to convert. Now since Catholics were the only ones around, that means that the people who branched off never got the original stuff. You're being a hypocrite, because you lack evidence and have no proof of accuracy, yet you point the finger at others?

So you didn't say this? And by the way that statement is VERY discriminatory.

Let's not use discriminatory words, shall we? All they do is show how biased you are on the subject and make it look more like you're just saying it's wrong because you're against it. Secondly, no one is truly gay until they reach the age where the desire to reproduce happens first of all. You weren't attracted to women your WHOLE life. There was a time when you had no attraction to them whatsoever. Thus meaning you can't say just because someone wasn't gay their whole life means they chose it. Once again, there's a thing called denial. When you are doing something that people don't socially accept, what do you do? You deny it. Thus why everyone has things they are embarrassed about and won't openly discuss with strangers. The fact you act like you're teaching anyone anything just makes you sound arrogant to be honest, and it makes people listen to your points less and less because you give off that "self proclaimed genius," vibe.

That's called being in denial and then accepting it. It's common for people to be in denial, as society and people like you look down on it so much. They didn't "decide" to be gay, they just came out about it. You can't get into their heads, so you don't know for sure. I myself was in denial about a lot of things I was, but I came to accept them because I couldn't change them, and the reason I couldn't change them was because I did not choose them. I was born with them.

Alright, seeing as how I'm the only even partially homosexual person on at the moment guess I should speak up, seeing as how I would know more about being gay than someone who has never felt or experienced it. I in no way "chose," to be what I am. I was attracted to members of the same sex LONG before I was even old enough to comprehend such a choice. When I say "attracted," I mean attracted and aroused. Now taking that into consideration, I doubt my arousal can be simulated. Seeing as how I actually have EXPERIENCED what it's like to be homosexual, I think my word means a little more than yours Quet. You've taught no one anything, in fact you may have possibly mislead some people to believe something that isn't true, which I hope not. If anything you have actually hindered someone's knowledge by preaching about a subject you know nothing about, and that you have never experienced. Edit: Wait, Death is bisexual isn't he? So I may not be the only one on.

Just to show how skeptical Christianity can be, and I'm not saying it's "wrong," I'm responding to the comments that Quet made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeZB2EsPqGE So that being shown, you really can't listen to EVERYTHING the bible says...

This about it logically actually. If you chose to be homosexual why would anyone choose it, with how much people discriminate them for it. I think very few would choose such a thing...

The bible is filled with stories of the greatest demon of all...

So throwing people into a lake of fire isn't punishing them...? Secondly, I have yet to see you prove you're "correct," about anything. All you've said is that you're correct and that you don't want to argue. Therefore you haven't justified anything. On top of that, you returning the favor to him is just retaliation a natural response. It's EXACTLY what I was talking about. He says your religion is wrong, so you retaliate.

I don't really use it that much as it is. I prefer FireFox, because IE is far slower.

To be honest my greatest fear is myself... Sometimes I am really frightened but what I have done or am capable of doing...

You're behaving rather rudely Shuuda, thus making you a bully. You don't need to physically abuse someone to be a bully. All I'm going to say to Quet is that he is no more right than Shuuda, and a religion that condomns people to Hell for an eternity of suffering for LOVE is certainly not one I want to be a part of.

Funny, I could have sworn I said you can disagree without saying someone's entire religion is wrong... Secondly, the "false hope," and whatnot, it's not your problem. So people want to think something nice happens when they die and that evil people get what's coming. Is that really worth tearing down just to be right? Not ALL religious people aren't so extreme to where they use religion to justify everything. Also I meant who cares about what is right on the issue, not right about ANYTHING. Atheism is becoming just as big of a bully as Christianity. You going around telling Christians they are wrong and that their faith is a lie, and that you're right is just as bad as them doing the same. You think that because someone did something and you have the opportunity to retaliate that means you should? The tables have turned, now Atheism is just as big of a bully. Atheists telling Christians they are wrong is what makes them retaliate with holy wars. Now I'm not saying it's Atheists faults, but it takes two to tango. Yes religion in the past bullied people, but that doesn't make it right to turn around and do it back, as all it does in continue the cycle. We have laws now to prevent religion from killing people in the name of God, and to keep them in check. The same applies for gay marriage, when a compromise is met, there will be a law put in place to prevent Christians from changing things because "God" told them to. We don't live in the burning times anymore, people can't kill you for not being Christian. And people can not deny you rights for it either. Gay marriage is a special case because it's a question of weather Marriage is under God or a legal thing, which makes sense, because there are two aspects to being married. Christians just don't want the law to compromise their religion, which ALSO MAKES SENSE. Because they believe gay marriage is against their religion, which the constitution states they have the freedom of religion, and if the law is defying their religion that's controversial to them. At the same time though, if they don't allow it, it contradicts equal rights. It's a tricky issue, and thus it shouldn't just be thrown to one side and then tell Christians to live with it. Atheism going around telling people to stop believing in God and trying to convert people to Atheism is just as bad as Christians converting people. I've seen Atheists flat out attack Christians ENTIRE RELIGION over the issue of gay marriage. Their entire religion isn't what's in question though, it's only if Gay marriage is against the word of God. You can't say you were oppressed for so long and now you have your chance to strike back to justify being a hypocrite. You say Christians are bullies, and they try to tell people they are right, yet you turn around and do the same thing to them, and expect them to stop? You get what you give. You give them crap, they give it back. I'm not saying doing nothing will stop it, but attacking them is DEFINITELY going to get a retaliation. I am in no way Christian, but I don't support Atheism going around and whining about how Christianity bullied them so they should do it back. So many people have been oppressed, and if all of them attacked back the world would be chaos. Let people believe what they want, that's why we HAVE the freedom of religion to let people believe what they want. You tactics of bullying and then playing the victim of prior bullying is pathetic, and a waste of your time. I doubt you're going to convince the entire Christian faith that you're right with those tactics. You may convince a few that aren't as devout, but you're not going to get them all. It's a waste of YOUR time to try and tell them they are wrong, because obviously your tactics aren't going to work, and you're doing the same thing they are. You're basically using the, "he hit me, so I'm going to hit him back," tactic which is what causes only more fighting.

To be honest, I see more Atheists preach that they are right and everyone should listen to them than Christians. Who cares who is right? How about we just listen to our OWN beliefs and use them to be better people. Honestly this is why Atheism is just as bad as Christianity in the "we're right your wrong so believe us!" department. Little known fact, but actually the Atheists are what helps cause the religious arguments and holy wars. If Atheists would shut their mouths and just believe what they want without trying to convince people they were right, the religious people would retaliate as much, then Atheists could actually blame them. They are just as guilty though. They attack the religious people, and laugh at their retaliations. Who cares who's right? Are you not going to be able to sleep at night just because someone believes there is some power watching over them and that feeling brings them comfort and helps them get through the day? Why bother ridiculing what people believe if it makes them happy, and gives them a reason to be good people. Now the argument that Christians use their faith to sway the law such as in gay marriage is completely different. You don't have to say their entire religion is wrong and that they should listen to you to tell them that they can't use religion to make the laws. Honestly though, Christians need to learn to stop trying to convert everyone, and Atheists need to stop complaining, and telling people they are all wrong. The fact of the matter is that neither of side can prove they are 100% correct, and that it won't matter. Why not let people just do what makes them happy and not tell them they are wrong. And don't bother making absurd arguments such as, "well what if murder makes me happy, should I do it then?" The fact of the matter is the Christian faith and all other major religions condemn murder. You can disagree with something they do without saying their entire religion is wrong. Yes I'm a hypocrite at times, but that doesn't mean I can't change my opinion or mind. It's always been my opinion though, that although I don't support the Christian or Muslim, or whatever faith you can think of, that I think they all should listen to me and not do what makes them happy. That's what it's about; being happy (within the confines of the law that is. i.e. no murder, rape, human sacrifices, etc.)

Yes, fake and real. They are getting annoyed at both. Some members made about 5 leaving topics but to this day have never left, thus a lot of us are getting tired of leaving topics, fake and real.
