Pope sends direct message to Ben

[Kidlicious]

Kentonio is obviously homophobic. Ok, BK plus 1. That makes 1.

[Imran Siddiqui]

When he answers questions with questions?

Like Socrates

(or, you know... Jesus sometimes)

[Ben Kenobi]

the Pope is wrong

Where did the Pope say this? That's the point. If I say, "the pope said this", then I'd better have a quotation from him.

[Kidlicious]

That's kentonio's point in that quoted part actually. He's saying that Ben doesn't love the sinner when he says those words. Pope Francis, however, shows that he does love the sinners, even if he is against their sinful actions.

[Kidlicious]

I guess BK can't say the Pope is wrong so he just puts his fingers in his ears.

[kentonio]

Why else accuse someone of being gay? If you truly believe that there's nothing wrong with it there's no point.

Why would it be an accusation? I think you're just showing your homophobia again.

Heck FUN even called you out here.

What in the name of **** are you actually talking about? MrFun hasn't posted in this thread since I politely suggested that you should free yourself of your inner turmoil and just embrace your gayness. It's not a bad thing (except that then gay people might have to deal with you being in the same demographic as them, which I understand can be painful).

Why would I hate gay people?

you spend so much time thinking and talking about it

Uh, didn't you directly call me out and ask if I believed something? Now you're arguing I'm gay because I responded and gave you a honest answer?

Curious Kentonio.

[kentonio]

No. What he's saying is that he rejects the notion that homosexuality is in fact, sinful. That is why he takes offense to the statement, "love the sinner, hate the sin", because that implies that homosexual actions are intrinsically sinful.

Nope, Imran was correct. I don't believe homosexuality is sinful but then again I don't believe in the concept of sin so it's a meaningless argument for me. I actually have a lot of respect for people who can disagree with something and still treat those people with love and respect however.

We're you the one who just accused me of being gay? Curious, the only one who hates gay people accusing other people of hating gay people.

Why would I hate gay people? Some of them are great, some of them are *******s. Obvious really, because they're just people like everyone else.

I just happen to suspect that you're a closet gay. Purely on the grounds that you spend so much time thinking and talking about it, that it's the only answer that makes any actual sense. Free yourself Ben! Run wild, run gay run free!

he spews hate everywhere he goes

That line is valid for us Christians, and your quote by the pope shows he follows the same line of thinking.

Yep, except Ben doesn't do that, he spews hate everywhere he goes. As he proved in MrFuns engagement thread and as he is currently doing a superb job of proving in the ebola thread.

[Nikolai]

That's the difference between him and you, you parrot lines about 'love the sinner not the sin' but you show no love to other humans. You're not capable of it.

After your craven display of cowardice over the last month, I'm actually amazed that you have the bare faced cheek to question anyone elses courage. Isn't there a 4 year old girl you should be hiding behind right now in case that nasty ebola comes anywhere near you?

Yes, brave Sir Kentonio turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
