        And they rightly fucking deserve it.

        If you house the fascists and bigots, you become a house of fascists and bigots. It doesn’t matter what the individual believes if they continue to give audience to those people. They become indistinguishable from them.

            Normal straight dude here. I’ve been hit on by a gay guy before. I explained the situation like an adult. All was good, no willies of any kind were had.

            You should talk to a woman sometime. They’ve dealt with getting the willies from “normal straight men” hitting on them since time immemorial.

            First of all, I’m gonna call bullshit on people hitting on you. Hateful attitudes aren’t attractive.

            Second of all, if a gay person hits on me, I’d be surprised and flattered, and politely turn them down.

            Third (and more comedically), as a straight man, I would try NOT to get the willies, because I am not attracted to willies.

                Not sure what I presumed. I called your statement bullshit, but also justified my point of view. Meanwhile, you presumed that being creeped out by someone thinking you’re attractive is normal.

                Something tells me the wall would be a more productive conversation than you.

            What the fuck, be a grown up person and just say you’re not interested.

            How fragile are you?!

            I’m a fellow straight person who has had a gay person hit on me. Here’s the thing: the problem wasn’t his gayness. The problem was his persistence. If he had hit on me respectfully, and backed off when I showed disinterest, everything would have been fine.

            His persistence wasn’t due to his gayness. There are gay people who are not persistent.

            A lot of straight people are persistent too, and it’s just as much of a problem in straight people as it is in gay people, it just doesn’t bother you specifically, because you’re straight.

            And when you’re just a normal straight person who gets the willies when gay people hit on you, fuck you right?

            Yes. Maybe you need to wear your adult undies and realize that icky feelings are ok, and doesn’t justify being a bigot or a fascist.

            That would be bigotry, accept it. Everyone is bigoted in some way, stop crying because people treat you the way you act.

        Tolerating the intolerant is what you are asking for. It’s the same story with someone saying you should tolerate someone burning books. Them not tolerating peoples thoughts or beliefs and then being upset people call them terrible people for burning books.

        That’s just stupidity

        Tolerate people and then you deserve to be tolerated.

        Gotta call this one inaccurate. The Bible tells YOU not to have false gods, it doesn’t say you should hate other religions. I’d argue that the parable of the good samaritan in Luke 10:25-37 actually argues the exact opposite: “Love your neighbor as yourself” no matter who that person is

        Also “some shit”: Colossians 3:8 “But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.”

        Gotta call this one inaccurate. The Bible says some shit about false gods and whatnot.

        Jesus repealed several older provisions.

        That’s old testament. What Jesus said overrode that.

        Its a very common mistake since a lot of christian groups pull their hate from the old testament.

        Specifically, Matthew 5:43-48

        And, to be clear, worshipping another god remains a sin in basic Christianity, its just not an excuse to not love everyone.

          That’s weird because earlier in the same chapter it contradicts exactly what you said that he’s not changing any of the old testament laws except for I think animal sacrifices he talks about specifically elsewhere:

          17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."

          The reason the Christian bible includes the old testament afaik is because when the new testament gospels were being written 70+ years after Jesus died they wanted to convert Jewish people so they wrote how Jesus fulfills prophecies made in the Hebrew bible.

            I’ve always heard it explained that the “fulfillment of the law” doesn’t abolish them, it fulfills the obligation and renders it moot, paving the way for the new covenant with Jesus as the penultimate sacrifice.

              Even if you could accept that interpretation of fulfillment that would mean the “heaven and the earth disappear” already happened, which I’m pretty sure isn’t the case.

                Depends on what you mean. The world that existed at the time of Christ has certainly been replaced. It took till the mid 1800s to really get going, but when was the last time you saw someone travelling by horse?

    Oh, I do understand them. They are mightly disturbed people, usually brainwashed by a extremist religious upbringing. They need help, but they don’t know it, and they live in an environment that usually does not see the need for this individual to get help in the first place.
