And I, you, it, we, you, they, and neopronouns... It's all language, and language is made up.
Seriously, why do you care about other people's pronouns so much? They're none of your concern. If God hates me, it's none of your concern. It's my life, not yours.

He loves all of us despite our flaws, but he wants us to repent of all sin. I don't care if I'm banned for telling the truth.

I do partially get your point. I personally would describe myself as an agnostic - we just can't know or prove whether God exists or doesn't exist. I think if God exists, he's most likely not like any religious depiction and probably doesn't even care about us. I see the Bible as a book that can give us a direction in life, and the overall message is compassion. It's not about hatred, it's not about minor things like who you are. It's a biological fact that queer people are born this way, you can look at studies at any time. Being queer is a fact of life, and even if it weren’t, it would be so minor that a God shouldn't really care.
It strikes me as strange that some people actually see a book that's over 2000 years of age and that's been translated multiple times as a definitive truth that justifies hate. Many Christians who don't think they need compassion cause Hell for queer people, and I see this as much more sinful tgan anything that queer people could do.

I encourage you to believe in God, especially if this helps you. But I have a problem with disrespect and hatred.

Before I give you some youtube videos about the topic, I will say one thing.

It was prophesied in the Bible that stars, the most infamous of these would be Wormwood, would fall onto earth and cause havoc.

Today, we have nukes and their appearance in the sky is like a star as described in scripture.

You think it's just a coincidence? This was prophesied a couple millenia ago.

This isn't my point. My point is that the Bible is meant to show you compassion and not hate. And you are definitely demonstrating hateful behavior, i.e. denying the existence of queer people and their rights.

Apart from that, there are multiple stories, religions and mythologies that show "prophecies". I used to be really interested in stuff like this, I couldn't name a specific example just now, and I don't really have time for that, but I think there was something with Gilgamesh (I can't really remember though). What I'm trying to say is that just because one story has vague similarities to reality (while a lot of totally different stories do as well) doesn't mean it's totally true or nothing else is true.

All I want is a respectful climate. I think the two of us have a different focus. I'm focused on individual expression, respect, and science whereas you are focused on religion. And that's okay. I just want you to consider a more respectful and liberal worldview in which you don't have to discriminate against anyone and just leave them alone.

I know it might sound like words of defeat, even though they are not, but I'm a bit tired (also tired of this conversation), so I might not respond to your next message if you write one. Social interaction as a whole is pretty gard for me, so I hope you can understand.
All that's left to say (at least I think that's all) is that I hope we can just live side by side and treat each other with respect. There might be misunderstandings and stuff, but we're basically all the same - all of us suffer, all of us are happy, etc.

I wish you a nice day!

I don't know how to convince you then. If you don't mind watching the videos I commented on your freetime, maybe you'll understand better. I will not surrender to evil though, because I know that Jesus already won. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Even though we have different views, I think we can agree thst both of us believe in respect, love and compassion, and that's the most important thing.

I, too, wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Here are my flowers for you and people like you. God loves your ability to love other people. I don't think it's a coincidence either that we are debating. I believe this is a divine appointment.

I certainly think that this conversation was important. And I'm convinced you and me could learn something about each other and each other's stances.
