So it’s only valid in cases where someone has a choice?

I’m not sure I would say it that way, but I’m not really sure how I would say it.

By that logic, I can’t “hate the sin” of an individual attracted to the same sex, but I can “hate the sin” of someone having homosexual sex, right? Bear in mind that you probably don’t know my views on homosexuality (and others who’ve known me longer and think they do likely not either) so don’t bring me personally into this. It’s merely a question. Homosexual sex is in fact a choice.

Sexual relief is a requirement for humans, and if you’re gay then the only way to get that is through gay sex. It may technically be a choice, but it’s a choice in the sense that your only other option is to be unhappy/sexually frustrated.

And now I’m just rambling but technically all agnostics are atheists. As an atheist is simply a person who doesn’t believe in any deities. Well if you are even the most middle of the ground agnostic, as in you don’t really know for sure one way or another, you are still not actively believing in a god, so in a way, all agnostics are atheists, and all atheists are agnostic, because to NOT be agnostic in the sense that Einstein thought of the word, would mean you know everything, which is impossible. So really everyone is agnostic. Even if you believe in God with all your heart, you can’t possibly say you KNOW for sure.

Maybe the notion of being agnostic is really the way people of every faith and non faith come together.

theist: someone who believes in God

agnostic: someone who neither believes in God or the existence of God

Atheist: someone who believes God doesn’t exist

That is how I understand the three to be.

Sorry to respond to a month old post. This is the way I see it, and probably what Darth Lucas was getting at.

Agnostic is simply a prefix that means you aren’t sure. There can be agnostic theists (I can’t be sure but I believe in god), and agnostic atheists (I can’t be sure but I don’t believe in god). On the other hand there’s gnostic theists and atheists, who claim that they can, or do know for a fact.

Oooooh…I get it. It’s the atheist version of that “Hate the sin, love the sinner” thing. Caughtcha! How progressive!

The difference is that “Love the sinner, hate the sin” is usually referring to homosexuality. In that case, the ‘sin’ is a part of who they are, and something they can’t change. Religion is a belief, that can indeed be changed.

“Your sexuality is inherently sinful and wrong, but it doesn’t change my opinion of you as a person.”

vs

“I hate Christianity, but it doesn’t change my opinion of you as a person.”

Hahahahahahaha.

Some people never grow up, apparently. Either that or their target audience consists solely of immature boys.

Most likely the latter.

This is the kind of horseshit that I find incredibly obnoxious. This is imperialscum-level conceit. We’re all posting on a Star Wars website; stop fucking telling everyone that their personal taste and hobbies are stupid, childish, or “immature”.

This. Not the Frink wit I’ve come to expect, this is just being a dick.

Strangely I’ve activated the possibility that everyone can download this video. Don’t know why you can’t. Try this site: savevideo.me Enter the video link and you should be able to download it. Works for me.

Thanks, it worked perfectly.

By the way, it’s not related (but close) however I don’t know where else I can ask it: your reconstruction reminds me of a version of the PT where only the soundtrack can be heard. Does anyone know if this project really exists and if it does how is it called ?

Neon Noir?
