Your Greatest Wish?

[Viktorkrum77]

The thing is that that bigot was asserting that homosexuality, whether a decision or not, does harm others.

 

 

 

Then my reply is that straight people harm homosexuals. Now what huh?

 

 

 

Now what? Now you read my damn post and see that I am actually on your side. I said that SOMEONE ELSE was asserting that they harm others :roll:

 

 

 

I apologize. I didn't get the direction you were going in.

I'd wish that I could be a dog, probably a labrador, and live in a good home. In my eyes that is the perfect wish- I would not have a care in the world and live a simple and exciting, jubilant life with a good relationship with my owners (and possibly another dog in the family as a playmate), and to top it all off- I would be ignorant of the hate of the world.

 

 

 

Eternal bliss :3> .

Actually, I'd wish to be immortal.

Ok, to everyone speaking without facts or trying to sound somewhat intelligent about homosexuality, just... stop.

 

 

 

Sure homosexuality helped with the developement of AIDS. But so what? Our primate relatives gave the homosexual people AIDS which then spread to us. If you're going to be blaming homosexuals for AIDS, you might as well blame every other sequence of events that led up to it. Homosexuals have never done anything against the community. In fact, my personal opinion is that homosexual couples are better for the community than heterosexual.

 

 

 

How many heterosexuals do you see getting married each day? Out of those couples, how many get divorced? How many fight? How many fail to raise their children properly? When you see someone living off the streets, do you think it's their fault that they're so poor? Most likely, it's because they're heterosexual parents failed to care for them. Not to sound rude or anything, but how many people get together just for the sex? Do they really care about their couple, or are they just in it cause they think their boyfriend or girlfriend is hot? Heterosexuals are pretty bad as well if you think about it.

 

 

 

One of the main reasons people don't like homosexual's is because of the Bible. I myself am Christian. I read the Bible every day, and even know I don't have any verses memorized, I know I have read many being against homosexuals. I know there's one somewhere near the end of 1 Timothy 2. And one somewhere in the first chapter of Romans. But you know what, even though I'm Christian doesn't mean I have a right to condemn homosexuals. What they do is their business, they have never done anything to hurt me.

 

 

 

To that person that keeps comparing homosexuality to a theif or whatever it is, that's just a lame comparision. We have choices on many things. We were all born with a desire to sin. Stealing is a sin, it's an easy way to get easy money. Homosexuality, according to the Bible, is a sin. However, even though they're both sins, theivery is much worse. When you steal, you don't only sin, you also affect someone else negatively. Their possessions are gone because some thug took their money. When two people are homosexual, you see them walking down the street together. Sure it may make you cringe, but you can't say that it's going to affect you. Are you going to go to a grocery store and say you can't pay for your groceries because you saw two homosexuals? So even though both deeds are sins, one is more harmful than the other.

 

 

 

To the people that keep saying, "Oh! Homosexuality is a choice. It's a choice. It's their faults! They're the bad ones!!" or "It's not their faults. Their genes make them who they are."

 

You people have no facts supporting what you are saying do you? Research a bit. Here is a site http://www.cbmw.org/news/ram150404.php. Go educate yourselves. Homosexuals have been saying that it's their genes that make them who they are. Attacking heterosexuals say it isn't their genes. Well you know what? Scientists have been able to prove either. Though there is slight evidence pointing to mutated chormosomes, there isn't enough evidence to state it as a fact. So no one should be using this as a basis as their agruements considering the fact that nothing has been proven about this.

 

 

 

That's all I have to say. Don't flame me. If you want to correct me, please do so in a polite fashion. Keep in mind that I'm only 15 and that the only reason I'm posting this is because I just want this agruement to stop. No one has any right to be judging others.

 

 

 

 

 

On Topic.

 

 

 

I would wish for me to get 100s on every test and paper I turn in for the rest of my life. That would mean I wouldn't have to study. I would graduate as valectorian and get a good job. It would also give me more free time so I can spend the time I spend on homework with the girl I love. And I guess so I can hang out with my friends.

He may have been indirectly addressing the other guy through your quote. That's how I took it anyways, because I saw you were on his side.

 

 

 

Whatever happens...I hope that someday, when we find intelligent life...That when the Christians start up a Crusade to convert them, that the other life-forms will laugh at them. THAT is my wish. Man, I would buckle over and have a heart attack laughing, I really would.

That probably was what I was doing. All I know is that I was attaking the person who said they harm others.

And, as for the little religious BS attached to homosexuality and abortion: both ends of the spectrum are fueling the flames. The zealots keep pushing all their closed-minded anti-everything holier-than-thou propaganda, and the atheists keep pushing their equally-propagandanistic "OH MY GOD THE CHRISTIANS ARE KEEPING EVERYTHING DOWN!" It's analagous to hearing a person of African heritage saying "The white man is KEEPING US DOWN" as an excuse for everything - only certain ones are doing that. I respect a person's beliefs, no matter what they are, so long as they are 1) remotely moral, as in no killing babies or sacrificing children or wanton murder, and 2) they don't infringe upon or militantly degrade the beliefs of others. There are hardcore Christians that do this, and there are hardcore atheists that do this.

 

 

 

Really now people, is it possible for us to stop making sweeping generalizations? I'm pretty much agnostic right now, but seriously, OMFUG THE CHRISTIANS ARE CRUSADING ALL OVER THE PLACE LIKE JIHADISTS AND KEEPING US FROM ENJOYING PERSONAL FREEDOMS is getting rather annoying.

I'd like to be on an abandoned tropical island with just me, my girlfriend and a labrador named Nemesis :D That would rock. Nothing to care about, just me, her and the dog :thumbsup:

It isn't a generalization, it's the truth. Christians try to convert everyone they see...In the past, even with deadly force and opression. Great religion.

 

 

 

Christian's are no longer into the whole "jihad" thing, however. They cannot wage war over religion anymore because noone in the world will take their crap anymore. They were FORCED to take their crap back in the day, but today...Everyone has sense...OH, and guns. :P

It is a generalization, by definition. Christianity is not a single condition; by definition it is a group of many conditions, which a person may or may not choose to follow despite purportedly conforming to such a label. Yes, on its most basic level Christianity means that the person follows a Chrisitain faith, but there are many subsets thereof that come with being of a faith of that nature.

 

 

 

It would be like me saying that all teenagers are hormonally imbalanced. Being a teenager is, on its most basic level, being between the ages of 13 and 19, but with that come many different conditions which may be true or false depending upon the person. However rare it may be, I'm sure that there is a person meeting the above condition that also has normal levels of enzyme in their body.

 

 

 

In a non-semantic fashion, I'll give you an example. At work I know a guy who is a hardcore Christian. On his work shelf, right next to the CCNA Cert study guide are books like "Finding the Path to Jesus." He has a signed picture from the Bush family thanking him for being a campaign donor. But see, he has not brought ANY of this up in the workplace, even when people say things like "Bush should be ousted from office because _____________," because he realizes that it is not necessarily his place to make others see his way. He is a Christian, yet he does not convert.

 

 

 

And like I said before, I'm agnostic, or more specifically indecisive - the way I figure it I have more than a few years to decide if I live my life reasonably morally; I'm open to almost anything. In fact, I had to put up with a self-righteous, zealous moron who rides my bus for an entire year. The preachings about Jesus and eternal life never stopped, because I was tolerant. Although it may not have been the easiest thing to do, enduring the equivalent of 90 hours of rehashed rambling, but in my mind it was much better than saying "Screw you," and creating a mental predisposition against Christians (although in retrospect I should have had a frank conversation with him regarding his rather brazen theological discussions).

 

 

 

Real shame that you can't separate people from their religions identity and shed your preconceptions.
