It's marginally more ridiculous if the speaker is a man wearing a dress but I suppose this is the wrong thread to giggle at cross dressing.
A frock by any other name (dress) first depicted in the 6th century as being male gender [from the light up above], having a beard, dinosaur thinker, not on facebook, being unable to tweet, without having the ability to travel by mass transit, nor on a plane or have driven a car & who knows maybe JC was LGBT. All of the above cannot be dis-proven. Did Jesus ever exist or is it all a fable? |

To me (and most people actually), atheism is irrational. So you can keep on thinking that you are one of the "select few" who has discovered a secret truth that no one else wants to admit, and that the rest of the world is stupid and self-deluded. Or you could be a bit more humble about your philosophical position. And no, people's beliefs concerning an afterlife, and re-uniting with their loved ones after death, are not fair game.
I'd like to point out that the owners of the hotel weren't asking the gay couple to become heterosexual. They were just asking them to leave. Which is wrong. And you're right in condemning that. But it's just as wrong to ridicule the way people give their life meaning and interpret their existence. |

But if you ever met truly religious people, you will see that the destructive instinct is something which is very far from their nature.

Re: gays not welcomed
Michael Stone, not truly religious or not destructive?

Nobody forgets the Spanish Inquisition. |

Osama bin Laden. Not destructive or not truly religious?
But anyway, its not truly religious. Islamic fundamentalism is about power, the control of nations and people, what we used to call fascism in Europe. The religion is a convenient cloak. Bin Ladin was no more Islamic than the IRA were Catholic. |

What happened? rvwestfalia made a good post that has disappeared.
He's been shown the door temporarily and asked to rejoin with another username that isn't a company name. HTH. |

But most of all, we don't want their superstitious beliefs to spread any more than they have done, as they tend to cause wars or lead to persecution.
Using your age as a reason not to change and adapt is a facile excuse for having a closed mind. |
