@Bingo, c'mon, we've had discussion where others' views on homosexuality have offended you, and clearly you became defensive. I don't blame you. The Internet does offend. But I gave my comment in order to avoid a discussion that devolves into the simplistic religion-bashing.
The difference being I belong to a number of groups that have been targeted and killed because of this nonsense and nobody used reason and logic to defend their homophobia.
They just point to a spooky voice or some old scribbles or new scribbles that they claim are old.
If I went around burning Catholics or beating Mormons to death or kicking people out of the house because they may bring the shame of being a Hindu onto my family I could have a bit more sympathy for your comparison.
It's not even if religion is the same thing as believing in the other worldly.
It's organised and highly funded. so a better comparison would be to compare criticism of religion with criticism of nightclubs with an element of politicised homosexual lobbying.
I'm not even sure if such places still exist in the western world.
Just noticed who wrote post 666 on this thread.
Why am I not surprised?
