does this include the Supreme Court? because the biggest one is that I can get married to someone I love.
If not, its that my partner can join the military, and that I can sue for my basic right to be employed regardless of who I love. Oh, and that my best friend can vote.
Some examples simply in the last few months: more help for suicidal kids in school, successfully passed laws and acts to combat the baby formula crisis, do you want more? I can give more

That's not anything substantial. You think getting married made your quality of life better, if you loved someone so much what does a peice of paper matter to you? The number one in domestic violence are the gays. You are gay so how does baby formula help you? Why did we even get to a place of shortages in the first place. Your examples are not substantial and are just crumbs handed to you to get your feeling involved. Now go think how anything you named changed your life for the better. You don't have any. Nice try though.

That, and the whole concept of equality seems to not matter to him, which is scary

oh and also about the baby formula, yes, I am gay, so that means that I cannot have children, so if I want a baby I must adopt. I am not having a baby right now, but I guess I will talk for other gay people. Even if you are female and adopt a baby, you cannot lactate because your body hasn't kicked in those hormones. So because you cannot lactate, you rely even more on baby formula, and other supplements for your baby.

It takes a minor to educate adults. You have a bright future. Your not gonna agree with a lot I do or say. I'm a Christian who does not support lgbtq. It's not cause I'm homophobic or transphobic, it's my free will to decide. I follow my lord and his word. I live for eternity not the moment. Do I think gays are banned to hell? No, yes, hell I don't know. I don't decide that, but it's become apparent to a lot of Christians that we are now asked to throw away our values, beliefs, and morals to make others feel good about their decisions. It's making things worse for lgbtq community. Could say the same about racism. People are creating more racism by stating the fact that everything is racist. What you will probably see is a couple atheists, mods, just miserable people, show up today claiming I'm a loser or fraud. Take note. These are everything you don't want to be! They are far left democrats. Stay more middle. I was a democrat from 1997-around 2014. Went independent, im a critical thinker, then 2016 went republican. Honestly I was against Republicans when I was in college. Hated them, but then saw the light. Critical thinkers. Don't be like me. Be you. I'm just a guy behind a screen. Be you, not a sheep wandering aimlessly in a herd gobbling up the same feed.

"Christians that we are now asked to throw away our values, beliefs, and morals to make others feel good about their decisions"

Which decisions are those?

Sexuality isn't a decision, religion is.

What you are being asked, is to treat people with kindness and acceptance to make them feel good, is that not Christian behavior?

I'm not an expert.

"I'm a Christian who does not support lgbtq."

What you are saying there is that you are a person who rejects some other people because of your values and morals, what kind of values and morals are they if they cause you to reject vulnerable people?

I don't conform to a religion. I conform to Christianity. Religion are subsets of Christianity. They are translations, and who's to say who's right. You proved my point I was making to the young lady earlier. They will come. I didn't weigh in on your posts. I'm not cursing you for your free will. I know you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for a man and yes a woman. God's greatest creation is life. You clearly have been taught in the flesh. Where in the bible does it say man lie with man or vice versa. I can't help it you aren't listening to the word. Its your choice. I seek him, you absolve him. Again, your choice. I'm not telling you knock it off or your going to hell. I'm just not going to bake you a cake. When God says spread my word, are you doing that? No your not. And yes a true Christian does not support this. The flesh tells you different, but again they are the flesh. The devil can attack the mind, but never the heart. Your free will is yours, and I got mine. Why do you need a Christian to accept your choices? It's a tough world. It's not gonna be all peaches and cream. You have rights in the flesh, enjoy them! I choose a different fruit. It's ok I don't agree with you. I'm a guy behind a computer. Please get over yourself

"I don't conform to a religion. I conform to Christianity."
Christianity is a religion.

"I know you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for a man and yes a woman."
In my case, yes, but it's entirely possible to create new life without that combination.

"Where in the bible does it say man lie with man or vice versa."
The passage Christians often quote about men not laying with men has been shown to be a mistranslation. Where does it say anything in the Bible about the internet or using planes? Sometimes you just have to make decisions for yourself, ideally based on common sense and compassion.

"Why do you need a Christian to accept your choices?"

I'm not sure what choices you're referring to.

"I'm a guy behind a computer."
Well done you, it's great to see people getting the hang of technology to access social spaces.

Ok so you disagree with everything I say. Now what? What's the game? Are you trying to sway my faith. I'm steady. Ok what's the next game plan? Go ahead kill your conscience! Let be known how narcissistic one is. Lol. Insufferable. I'm guessing your an atheist or agnostic right?

Do you not agree that Christianity is a religion?

I've already said I have no interest in changing what you believe, why do you think I want to? Is it because Christians have a history of converting people and wiping out their cultures and beliefs?

Who's converting who here? Have I tried to convert you? Seems to me you have trouble contemplating reality. This is going nowhere. Lol

That creation of life without man and woman you talk about. Is that in some factory?

And before you go any further, I did upvote your last comment. You made a valid point. So I am fair. As a Christian we spread his word, and if it said man lie with a man, then yes we'd be good. I am to spread his word not the flesh societies morals. It's as simple as that.

How do you make decisions about things not mentioned in the Bible?

It's all in the bible. I can't help you need a tutor. Your ego and pride is a must see. Small talk. Lol

Since your so fascinated with this Christian and proving his God doesn't exist. Take the little quiz I'm offering. Then show me your wisdom. Try to be somewhat tolerant and honest

Just the first line, Greece was the first nation to adopt Christianity?
No, Armenia was the first nation to adopt Christianity as a state religion.
Greece wasn't even a country then, it was part of Rome.

"That first line was supposed to be referring to historical fact"

Yeah, a lot of the Greek philosophers died before Christianity was even a thing

Most/all of the things on that list are either easily debunked or just flat-out strawman fallacies

"Just the first line" was supposed to continue with "shows it's all bull" in my comment but that seemed awkward and I was supposed to reword it but neglected to do so.

That first line was supposed to be referring to historical fact, whereas the rest was mainly revisionist opinion and excuses.

What gave you the idea I'm trying to prove your god doesn't exist?

You're being unnecessarily defensive, I have no interest in trying to prove anything to you.

MM ngl it kinda hurts to have someone who I sorta respect not support a large part of my identity, but thanks for your honesty ig. I am trying really hard not to psychoanalyze you, but I can't hep but think that you are holding so strongly to the idea that queer people are bad because you are scared that someone else might be controlling how you think. Have you thought about how the church and the people around you may also be controlling how you think? Like for years the church was used to maintain social classes and oppression in England, to justify slavery, ect. None of that was God's words. What makes you think that the oppression of queer people is? and I do consider myself pretty far left. I just have come to that conclusion after critical thinking. And do you mind explaining how "people are creating more racism by stating the fact that everything is racist"? thanks :)

I... wow you obviously don't understand all the marital benefits that I deserve. and ok, sure, even if that is right, the violence would exist anyways whether 'a piece of paper' existed, if that's truly all it is. and how does baby formula help me? well, I have a baby brother, and I'm still a minor, meaning I rely on my parents support. so yea, it definitely helps me. and you completely skipped most of my points, and all of these DEFINITELY change my life for the better

This kid impresses me. they/them/he/she or whatever the hell we're to conform to, we don't agree much, but I must admit your conviction is great. I just hope if your going left in the future, you stay more middle. Take it from a former Democrat. Jumped that ship after Obama 2nd term. Left that plantation. Identity politics is their drug. Well played

Thank you, that means a lot to me. My hope for my future is a left leaning person who looks critically at all sides and forms her opinion based on that. I really admire you for your ability to be able to look at an argument like this, and I hope to be like you one day.

Nobody believes that you're a former Democrat.

It always the same 4 . Lol

"Some people are mad at you because you're not suffering the way they expected you too."

This really accurately describes bigots getting mad at gay and trans people.

You're right :)

You're worried that I'm a threat to you?

I'm sorry I didn't realize the crew was showing up. Got you guys a bigger mirror. Now vent how much u hate God and Christians. Spew away

I can always smell something wafting from the politics stream.

Nobody cares what you believe.

His argument is full of garbage. He probably wouldn't care if interracial marriage were made illegal again.

...my partner is a POC I would very much care. also I'm a she, I knowthat that will probably make me seem more snarky from your eyes, but I wanted to tell you anyways :). I would highly recommend not making such overarching assumptions about me, and if you believe that my argument is full of garbage, show me why, don't just spurt out something random to try to debase me.

I wasn't saying your argument was full of garbage. I agree with you. I was referring to potatoroaster

oh okay, thanks! :) I mean, I still dont think its great to make assumptions, but yea, ngl I kinda made that assumption too lol

You're welcome

... I don't demonize my own community. Although I am not religious, I go to a christian school, and many of my queer friends are religious. this doesnt make them wrong. This just makes us different, which isn't a bad thing.

Wrong thread that was directed to other person. Your reading threads wrong.

So, the goalpost is that we have to come up with a way our lives got better that YOU believe in?

What a waste of everyone's time. Including your own.

I like how you wasted your time and still didn't offer any examples that have improved your life. Nicely done.

..........because you're rejecting examples that have improved people's lives on the basis that you don't think they should.

It's quite bizarre

"That's not anything substantial"

So you don't consider equality to be substantial? That's pretty sad.

"You think getting married made your quality of life better"

Yes

"The number one in domestic violence are the gays"

That has literally nothing to do with marriage equality. Lots of conservatives beat their spouses. So by your logic they shouldn't be allowed to get married.

"You are gay so how does baby formula help you?"

Because gay people can adopt children

"Your examples are not substantial and are just crumbs handed to you to get your feeling involved. Now go think how anything you named changed your life for the better. You don't have any. Nice try though."

Do you think lynching should be legal? Yes or no?

Nope, because based on all your comments, you are still just a miserable gay person. Your life didn't change.

I'm neither miserable nor gay

I am gay, I'm not miserable, I'm really smart, successful, and looking forward to an amazing life, which means you don't feel as superior as you did before and you feel scared. I'm sorry, that seem really hard

I think you responded to the wrong person

ahh whoops ur right
