| Forceful_Dragon 04/06/17 3:22:50 PM #496: | FigureOfSpeech posted... I can't help but feel offended by the existence of such people That sounds like a personal problem. I'm sure there are shitty people in that group, who do and say shitty things, and you can definitely be offended by them when they are being offensive. As someone who is religious I am acutely aware that there are other religious people who present the ideology very poorly, and who are very terrible examples of Christ to the world. And it saddens me when that happens, but there are going to be terrible people in every grouping of people. But the ones who hold that belief and keep to themselves about it? You are offended by the EXISTENCE of those people? That's pretty extreme. FigureOfSpeech posted... but could you explain the thought process by which a person would be compelled to equate taking the genesis story literally and as fact... with being gay? It's not equating the two things, merely equating the blind disdain towards groups of people. You indicated blind disdain and disregard towards PeopleGroupA. Often in the past the gay community has received similar treatment. And you don't have to be gay yourself to be offended on their behalf. It's the derision towards the group that is being equated, not the particulars of the group itself. I hope that cleared it up. --- ~C~ Eff_Dee http://i.imgur.com/dGDfxaw.png ...
