Christianity ruins families.

1. first: proven; second: not

Not the question.

How is one intolerant but the other is not? They are both factual arguments.

to be a lying scumbag.

So I'm a scumbag for saying that having sex with other men is bad for you, but I'm not a scumbag for saying that smoking is also bad for you?

I would be wrong, if that were the case. Scumbag wouldn't enter the picture.

[rah]

I guess the answer to my question is NO. As expected.

[dannubis]

1. first: proven; second: not
2. you wouldn't think of banning smoking everywhere

SUMMARY : again you are proven to be a lying scumbag.

[Ben Kenobi]

Do you not recognize your own intolerance?

Ok. Lets say I said that smoking was bad for you. Having sex with guys is also bad for you.

Which one of these statements is intolerant?

[Ben Kenobi]

It's not your opinions that make me think you're deranged, but the tactics you employ to defend them.

Ok. How would I defend my position in such a way so as not to be intolerant, and not to compromise what Christ teaches.

I'm curious.

[rah]

You're one to talk.

You flipped a switch and decided to go on hate mode, for whatever reason. Not me.

I don't hate you, I don't hate fun, and I don't hate elok.

Yet all three of you hate me for whatever reason.

Tolerance, if you really believed in it means treating opinions that disagree with you with respect. I disagree with you on this issue, it doesn't make you crazy or a bad person. It just makes you wrong.

I don't hate you. I hate your intolerance. Well OK, I guess that makes me dislike you intensely also. Your dishonesty in debating is strike two. Do you not recognize your own intolerance?

[Elok]

I don't think you are deranged. I think you can be wrong about some things without being crazy.

Unsurprised to see that tolerance is a one way street.

It's not your opinions that make me think you're deranged, but the tactics you employ to defend them.

[Elok]

yada yada yada... go preach in your church. maybe over there you will find that people listen to you.

I find plenty of people listen to me here. They don't always agree--often they don't--but the ones who aren't zealots, religious or anti-religious, will listen and offer something interesting in return.

[Ben Kenobi]

SO it's easy to see why people are not tolerant when it comes to you.

[rah]

Yep, you get what you give. SO it's easy to see why people are not tolerant when it comes to you.

[Ben Kenobi]

Hey, I'm Christian and I think BK is deranged. I'm pretty sure Imran does too.

I don't think you are deranged. I think you can be wrong about some things without being crazy.

Unsurprised to see that tolerance is a one way street.

[Ben Kenobi]

but I don't see how KKK and nazis apply to this.

Fun's equating his current situation with the holocaust. Par for the course.

[dannubis]

yada yada yada... go preach in your church. maybe over there you will find that people listen to you.

[Wezil]

Ah thanks Elok.

[Elok]

You know, Wezil, you and Danny are not exactly the intellectual cream of the atheist crop on this board. And with the exception of Asher, none of the brighter ones bother being douchebags like that. Oughta tell you something...
