There will be no protests, no boycotts, no marches from the left over it. We have our own trans bathrooms and cultural appropriation issues to deal with!


To the "social justice" cry baby libs, this only matters if it happens in the USA or if it can be used against Trump. Otherwise, the truly oppressed are screwed if they are waiting on a helping hand from the American left.

They would be marching and protesting every day of the year if they took up every single issue across the globe.

The better question is where are conservatives on this?


Homosexuality is abhorrent perverted sin, but it's not something people should be executed for. However, it should be shunned and I'd be perfectly fine if gay sex were outlawed all across the world, though I'm not advocating for brutal punishment, just some medium level deterrent.

I've never been, but I know some Indians who were actually from there(A whole bunch emigrated there during British imperial days). They all started leaving in the 1970's and the "administration" of Idi Amin Dada. From what they tell me it was one of the more "liveable" countries in Africa. High mountains and fertile land.

Now they seem obsessed with homosexuals.....very obsessed

With the help of the media they seem to have no problem pointing out reams of anti-Trump grievances and often fake social grievances that happen domestically without any trouble. I am certain they can take up a few LGBQTSDYFRHDJDHDGSJDJE issues like this with no problem.

wow... aren't you like a hard core Christian?
I am.

quote:

i mean, i understand you think homosexuality is a sin, but being okay with them being put to death because of it?
Im OK with the concept of the death penalty and that was the penalty for homosexuality in OT Israel so I’m fine with it in principle. I don’t think it’s required but I think it is permissible and therefore I don’t have any philosophical issues with other countries deciding that is what they want.

But you didn’t answer my question: why is that wrong? More specifically, what standard do you adhere to that tells you that such a thing is immoral? I suspect that it boils down to your own opinion but am curious what you have to say.

quote:

i HIGHLY doubt that the Jesus that I was taught about and decided to be a follower of (back in the day) would share this sentiment...
The Jesus of the Bible obeyed the law and the law called for the death penalty for certain crimes, including homosexuality. The story of the woman caught in adultery did not show a Jesus that was contradicting the law that demanded the woman be stoned. It showed Jesus calling out the hypocrites that did not also bring forth the man she was with to be stoned, as well. More can be said but I’ll leave it at that for now.

quote:

if you are being serious, you really need to do some soul searching...
I am serious but why should I do any soul searching? I’m a sinner like everyone else and I ask God to forgive me every day. What does that have to do with the legal and moral authority of governments using capital punishment as a sentence for homosexuality?

ah, but isn't that the OLD covenant... it's very convenient how you choose to use the OT when it suits your needs, and yet dismiss it when it doesn't...

well, the whole do not murder thing, or even the whole do unto others, or objective moral law, or... should i keep going?

quote:

and yet it's so important to him he mentions it exactly ZERO times... ZERO... the ONLY source in the NT that mentions homosexuality is Paul's letters... and that was HIS views, he didn't say it was directly derived from Jesus AKA the NEW covenant...

quote:

The story of the woman caught in adultery
that has frick-all to do with homosexuality... are you really going to try to sit here and conflate the issue with that to try to justify your archaic position?? if so, i fear you have even less credibility than i originally thought...

quote:

why should I do any soul searching

because you don't practice what you espouse on this board... you have a pervert version of Christianity that is nothing like I was taught, as a Southern Baptist believer...

quote:

that's not what i was getting at... it's your agreement with their stance of killing people that i'm more concerned with... i know this much... Jesus, whether divine or not (that's a whole other discussion), was known by both religious and secular writers to hang with the lowest of the low in society, to heal and teach... lepers, adulterers, etc... he wasn't trying to put them to death... and yet here you are... a "follower" of this same Jesus, saying that it's totally fine...

at the end of the day, just know that's it's testimony and twisted religious dogma/man-made constructs not based on scripture, that have turned a lot of us former believers away... and if you are just an example of the overall tune of Christianity in 2019, i'm glad i left...
