You speak English because is your mother tongue, I speak English because that's the only language you can understand. We are not the same.
There's a difference in forcing a child to go to school and forcing a child to blindly follow the tenants of a cult established by uneducated people living more than 2000 years ago. In the first case you are forcing your authority on the child to provide him with the tools needed to be accomplished in this life, as our history as a species has shown for the past two centuries, when child teaching has started to become more and more common also for the poorest classes in our societies while also our standard of living have been improving steadily. In the second one you are forcing unreasonable and, in some cases, even conflicting beliefs not based in any logic or research but in pure faith alone. What if your son does not share the same beliefs as you? Who are you to force these onto him without a single shread of evidence proving their innate validity? What if you are wrong about the afterlife and Muslims, Buddhist or any other religion are right? Are you ready to bring upon yourself and upon your child eternal damnation due to your decisions?
Lastly there is no god. Or at least there is no god as it is described by Christianity or any other major religion. God is a concept completely alien to humans, were we able to understand it we would be god's ourselves. Since this is not the case one can only logically assume that we still haven't find the right "god" to worship
That is the reason this present life is difficult. There are counterfeits to true things.
Be sincere with yourself and see the disorder in LGBTQ+ first, before other judgements.
You don't become what you understand.
God revealed himself to us (Moyes and others). We did not create the concept (though you'll arrive at that by philosophy (Plato, Aristotle)).
From the beginning, Adam walked with God...
Others born were like you and I (clean memory that needs to be educated).
But at the end, the people that are God's people will see God.
Well then, wait for god to show himself to you and you alone while, at the same time, leaving everyone else free to live their lives as they see fit for themselves.
Remember what Jesus has left as only commandments: don't judge if you don't want to be judged and love the others as you love yourself. Of course these are two commandments which are not applicable for modern rightoids as they are well too ready to judge others and hate their neighbours if they don't think as they would like them to but this is something they will have to discuss with their god once they'll leave this earth. Until them we will be in their way when they'll try to fix the their false religion and god upon us non-believers as our constitutions and legal frameworks allow us to do.
Ignorance at play again.
Judge not.
Kill not.
Swear not.
You don't just pick two words from the Bible.
We Christians enjoy and are Joyful this Christmas season.
We kill chickens, cows, sheep etc.
You will be judged by God at the end.
Judge just judgement.
Go away, if you don't want to be told the truth.
Lmao, you call me ignorant while at the same time displaying the greatest level of hypocrisy you are putting up for the holiday season it's priceless.
Let me remind you that you believe a con man to be a saint despite the catholic church evaluation of said con man. Talk about ignorance.
I won't be judged by god in the end because I don't believe god to be interested in our human activities. With the whole cosmos at her fingertips loosing time watching a sad reality show as the one we are currently putting in place in this plant would qualify her as a very low-intelligence being, which I think does not fit the definition of a god.
Lastly I'm not going anywhere since you aren't providing any truth at all in your statements.
Ciao!
New Testament
You picked only two words
You will be judged by God at the end.
Judge just judgement.
The saints will judge the world.
There are others...
Thou shalt not kill.
Is this thread not about what and what not to eat (kill, cook & eat)?
In Maths texts, if we treat BODMAS in chapter 1, we don't copy the entire chapter 1 into chapter 2.
God created all. He will judge all.
Stay, but be quiet.
I'm going to stay quiet once you will stop writing nonsensical replies.
So probably I won't be able to quiet for quite a looooooong time
So your body controls you?
You cannot use your will?
Absolutely not, it is my will to reply to your nonsensical comments to highlight how deranged they are to future readers.
Also, can you prove to be provided if free will in a universe which seems to be ruled by deterministic factors? Welcome to modern philosophy :)
Can we say LGBTQ+ are deranged?
Those who willingly reject God first in this world, will be rejected by Him in the next.
No, we cannot.
The "natural behaviour" argument also bear no weight to the discussion since homosexual intercourse is well documented in a number of animal species thus rendering this a "natural" act as many others.
Hope to have made myself clear
LGBTQ+ (which you are part of) are deranged.
It is a disorder (even if seen in a number of animal species).
You cannot distinguish between right and wrong (even if seen in a number of animal species).
Well, at least I don't use people' sexual preferences, which they cannot choose, to be a dick to them. I can see what's right and wrong there while you clearly can't.
Happy holidays once more I presume
