I know this is hard for some of you to comprehend, because some of you seem obsessed with the act of two men assfucking, but not all homosexuals engage in anal sex. I know several male homosexual couples who don't, and that's just in the small circle of people that I know. Some homos find it gross. You talking about lesbians?

Time for the adult son to move out on his own and be a responsible adult. It doesn't matter what his orientation is. If he's old enough to make those kinds of decisions, he's old enough to get a job, pay his bills and live on his own.

One that I knew for decades, married for years, two beautiful daughters, recently got divorced and came out of the closet. Moved in with a guy. Most women that practice it just dont like anal sex. Those that do it mostly put up with it because of their partner insistance, even if they claim otherwise. For the very small minority of women that do honestly enjoy it, it not that different from people that enjoy getting somodized in other ways as well (beaten, whipped, etc) FerFAL This is some impressive ignorance and repression.

It's really about fundamentalism/dogmatism (unwavering claimed absolute certainty and attachment to a set of beliefs) more than anything.*
One can show a literal mountain of evidence for evolution, fundamentalist religious people will absolutely refuse to accept this. They can't square it with the bible (evolution means there was no literal first created present-form man). One can show them LGBT kids who kill themselves because they're rejected by their own families. They will still reject their own family. They can't square it with the bible. http://www.progettorlando.unina.it/public/Family%20rejection%20prediction.pdf If people can't even convince fundamentalist Christians, good luck with fundamentalist Muslims. *other ideologies and "strong"-atheists (absolute denial of all Gods) are guilty of this type of "absolutism" as well. |

I'm sorry to say I have to agree with all of this. I am the furthest thing from a SJW, and I don't throw around terms like "homophobic" lightly. Part of the reason I began posting here more often (other than the election season) was that I had noticed a subtle change on ARFcom in the last 10 years (yes, I have been here for about 10 years now - it amazes me too). 10 years ago I would read threads discussing the issue of homosexuality. There were a few people who supported the very few gay posters, but the majority of them were quite negative - they didn't want gays around and didn't want to hear about it; it didn't matter if they were pro-2A or even Pink Pistols members. Recently, there seemed to be a bit of inclusiveness creeping into GD. It was as if they understood that conservatism was/is dying and they would need every ally they could get - the rise of Milo also contributed. I've followed this thread carefully, and it has made me realize that the "inclusiveness" I thought I detected was a THIN VENEER created by a minority of vocal posters, covering a majority of very distrustful and hateful people - some of whom advocate disowning or beating their own children based on who they find attractive. Not really sure what to say now. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm definitely feeling a bit chagrined that I looked in the wrong spot for acceptance and tolerance.

Very good post. Too many people selectively read the Bible and like to single out anything to do with sexuality. Guess what? There are a whole lot of other "minor" sins lumped in with homosexuality and I'd bet that the loudest fundies conveniently ignore those. Because, as humans, we like to rank sins. So that we can point to another and say, "At least I'm not doing that!" Missing the whole point if Christisnity. |

Quoted:
Some of these hard core Bible thumpers wonder why there is a growing hatred towards them. Isn't there something about not judging? Only God can judge? So stfu, live and let live. Stop spending so much time worrying about what other people do in their personal lives. http://www.ar15.com/media/viewFile.html?i=79586 People not reading fairy tale books would a pretty good start for the world today. At it's heart, I see the Bible as an instruction manual for life. So it may be written as a 'fairy tale'. Doesn't change the fact the the message it delivers is worth listening to. Regardless of anyone's views on homosexuality, a culture with 1 overriding set of values and 1 primary cultural norm, will generally be a peaceful and productive culture assuming their values include hard work, education, and so on. Diverse cultures where that diversity is extreme, often suffer from alienation and infighting. Christianity, or at least basic Christian values, was the norm for the USA during the most successful phases of our history. It is an overall good system to produce a well ordered, polite, and productive society with low crime and huge freedoms. As those norms fade, behavior worsens and society will lose those freedoms. Cultures that are relatively monolithic in terms of values, religion, and so on, will usually win out. Diverse cultures often end up in civil war. |

"If that is your perception of a Christian, then you've never been around a Christ follower." I WAS one for several years, until i saw the hypocrisy and stupidity for what it truly was, especially if you aren't like the other members of the church. The most segregated place in America is a church on Sunday, and that's pretty sad. View Quote Respectfully, no, you were not. |

I'm not a religious man, but it sure does seem the country was in a lot better shape when more people practiced what the Bible teaches. You know, basic morality, how to treat your fellow man, how to live an honorable life. At it's heart, I see the Bible as an instruction manual for life. So it may be written as a 'fairy tale'. Doesn't change the fact the the message it delivers is worth listening to. View Quote Put me in this category. I don't believe (I want to)...but I fully realize that all the good things about where/when I grew up were because of Christian folks, and those things are lacking today. |

Time for the adult son to move out on his own and be a responsible adult. It doesn't matter what his orientation is. If he's old enough to make those kinds of decisions, he's old enough to get a job, pay his bills and live on his own. View Quote This. Time for the boy to hit the bricks. Wow. Sorry, OP. |

Easy for someone to say if they've always been around their own kind. I don't guess you've ever been different than your surroundings, enough to give you a sense of perspective. You should try it sometime. Your comment screams victim mentality. Except he didn't stay put in the climate that was against his lifestyle and whine about it, he changed his views and surroundings....precisely the opposite of victim mentality. He's simply relaying what it FELT like to be the outsider, and suggested it's a valuable tool to learn a little more about the human experience. GD, missing the easy lessons since 2001®. |

If you can just realize that accepting that does not harm you, and live and let live--kinda the way I feel about people who like country music. Now that's a statement I can agree with. I don't don't know, Country music is definitely choice. Like meth, only worse. |
