Projection, it's ok to come out of the closet Dutch! Maybe you and lefty can hook up!
Matt, you're the one claiming sexuality is a choice. APL and myself belief it's a combination of factors not determined by choice.

Not at all. You have the lust and overcame it. I am asking what it is like. It is obvious you have strong attractions to the same sex. I do not know what that is like, so I asked you.
No need for a straight gene, you are born straight, then you are tempted and act on it or don't! You are almost as big a moron as lefty, wait maybe more!
Matt, you're the one claiming sexuality is a choice. APL and myself belief it's a combination of factors not determined by choice.
If there's no straight gene and all of what we are comes from our genes including being "born straight" then how come that doesn't apply to gays too?
I am claiming it is a choice of whether or not to give in to temptation, it is an unnatural desire brought on by evil! You can drop the Matt B.S I am not Matt nor he I!
Agreed. Sexual conduct and sexual orientation/desire are different things.
That's why it's not gay for all the Insurrectionists to be giving each other handies in prison but it is gay if they do it outside of prison....in another 10-20 years for some of them.
I was never tempted that way, Had I been, it would have been a decision not to allow that temptation to take hold!
So you agree that it's a choice? Glad you do.![]()
I guess my thread proved that within conservatism there still remains a palpable, bible-thumping strain of hostility to same sex marriage even this deep into the 21st century
Good to know you are speaking for a significant portion of the Republican base.Yes same sex marriage is deplorable, it is sexual deviancy, Christians should hate sin!
That has nothing to do with hating people which we do not!
...Wolverine is a fucking idiot, although that's not the only reason for my having him on "ignore."
He's boring as well.
Intolerance is a hallmark of authoritarian political parties. IMO, that includes both "modern" Democrats and Republicans.Good to know you are speaking for a significant portion of the Republican base.Yes same sex marriage is deplorable, it is sexual deviancy, Christians should hate sin! That has nothing to do with hating people which we do not!
You would be surprised how many conservatives try to claim their party has changed and ditched the intolerance of the past.
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” This Commandment is recorded in Exodus 20:19 and Deuteronomy 5:20. It is typically understood as a command not to tell lies. Yet the power and rich meaning of this simple commandment reaches far beyond the simple admonition to tell the truth...Any time we make broad and pejorative statements, we violate God’s commandment. Anytime we share or spread false, incomplete, or distorted information— knowingly or ignorantly — we violate God’s commandment. Anytime we cast condemnation upon whole classes of people we do not know, we violate God’s commandment.
Proverbs 19:5
A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will not escape.
Revelation 21:8
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Proverbs 19:9 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish.
Exodus 20:16
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Proverbs 6:16-19
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
Psalm 5:6
You destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
Proverbs 13:5
The righteous hates falsehood, but the wicked brings shame and disgrace.
Proverbs 26:24
Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart;
Yes sin is a choice!
Good to know you are speaking for a significant portion of the Republican base.
You would be surprised how many conservatives try to claim their party has changed and ditched the intolerance of the past.
So hetrosexuality isn't hard-wired?
Yes it is! You are being obtuse purposely!
Then being gay is not a choice. Make up your mind.
