Here is my current view on homosexuality and here is the angry response that the person who made the video received and the defense of her and her video.
I find it disgusting how some people treat those who respectfully disagree with homosexual sex. I'm glad people on this forum are more respectful (with a couple exceptions) then the people who gave such negative responses to the first video.
In response to the clip and it's fallout rather than your post...
If she decided to post a video that she knew to be offensive and ill-thought out to the rest of the world, then she should have expected anger. Personally, I felt my anger rising watching it. Especially the bit where she talks about finding out a "loved one" was gay.
As I was saying in another thread, my moral compass is dictated by my empathy for other human beings. Her's was obviously dictated by her own selfish interests and a 2000 year old book. Without the book, she might have stopped and thought for even a single fraction of a second of her life about how other people feel and wouldn't have got "emotional whiplash" when she realised that somebody she knew to be a good person from personnal experience belonged to a group she had previously arrogantly and callously labelled as bad.
Plus arguably the hateful and violent things people posted back are approved by the same passages from the Bible that disapprove of homosexuality. So again don't pick and choose from the bible if you are gonna claim to live it to the letter.
Oh and I'd argue, the response she got is less about Athiest's intolerance of Christians and more about hatred of women.
