I laughed too Hope. What a prat! So, natural disasters only hurt gays and not the people next door? It's amazing how some people think.

Possibly more amusing than this guy's beliefs are the fact that there are some people who believe that, because 1 person claiming to be a Christian believes this - all Christians believe it!!

If anyone thinks that, they need to get out more!

Surely natural disasters are Gods way of punishing the insurance industry.

There's a thought, how to cripple PPI.

Do you not see the dichotomy here?

You poke fun at a man who claims God has the power and the will and does actually punish gays. Preposterous you imply, ridiculous even.

Yet you claim he (god) can and does cure illness !!!!!!

Why is one OK and the other daft?

Or is it not as I would claim that both viewpoints are ridiculous.

And the link between the two situations, john, is what? That seems to be the dichotomy, if there is one.

I think what made me laugh is that both here and elsewhere, there seems to be a belief amongst some posters that this is an 'evangelical Christian' understanding.

Brownie · « **Reply #10 on:** August 20, 2016, 12:09:04 AM »

I've never heard anyone say such things. I suppose it's possible they are harking back to Sodom and Gomorrah, a generally misunderstood story.

What isn't funny is that some extreme Christians think there is something bad about having a sexual relationship with a consenting adult of the same sex.

I think there are a few non Christians who think that.

But they don't all have a book of rules to back them up, so they don't really have the proper authority to think that way!

Since the world of secular homophobia has been papered over.....And understanding of religious homophobia has been weaponised by evangelical antitheism we as forum denizens are unlikely to properly understand secular homophobia.

Does anyone fancy a game of "Hope logical fallacy top trumps"?

I'll go first - No True Scotsman!

10 - point to me I think - yippee!

It is an "evangelical Christian understanding" in that some people who are evangelical Christians tell us that it's an evangelical Christian understanding. The fact that you think they're as wrong about that as they think you to be for not sharing that belief – ie, that they're not "true" evangelical Christians – is another matter.

What?

You mean, because Christians have a book that tells them to kill gays, that counts as "proper authority"?

It is - for some of them.

Not for normal humans though.

A book of fairy tales.

There will always be nutters on the fringe of any religion or movement and I can't answer for them but it is emphatically not a Christian evangelical, or other mainstream Christian, teaching to kill gay people.

trippymonkey · « **Reply #23 on:** August 21, 2016, 07:26:40 AM »

What about what the Bible teaches on how to deal with gays?
Sodom & Begorrah for example?!!?!?

Any religion which teaches that homosexuality between consenting adults is wrong needs to be attacked and corrected.

Until the offending passages are removed from the Bible, Christianity must be subjected to strong opposition.
