Anonymous asked: And okay, tell me, do you or do you not think of gay people as being equal to you in every way? I mean, do you think that gay people deserve all of the same rights as you have, including the right to marry the person they love most? If not, then why do you think it's loving at all of you to deny them that right? Also, do you or do you not think it's wrong for gay people to have loving,...
Anonymous asked: You seriously expect me to take you seriously when you linked me to Michael Pearl's website? He thinks it's not only right, but necessary, to abuse children in order to get them to behave. He takes "spare the rod, spoil the child" (Proverbs 13:24) to the extreme. Did you already know that about him? If so, then why do you think he's a sane, trustworthy human being at all?...
Anonymous asked: Also, tell me, how does a conviction differ from a feeling? I'm not a Christian (I'm an atheist), so can you blame me for not knowing that? Also, how do you know for sure that a conviction isn't just a really strong feeling? I mean, do you just "have faith" in that or what? And if it is just a matter of faith, then you do realize that faith isn't proof of anything at...
Anonymous asked: So if you realize that you don't know everything about the Bible, then why is it so hard for you to admit that you might not be right about homosexuality being a sin? It really seems to me like you're determined to see it as being a sin. Is that true? If so, then why is that? Why is it so hard for you to think of homosexuals as being your equals, which they are, since they're human...

Anonymous asked: Also, just because you feel "convicted" of something doesn't mean a thing. After all, feelings can be wrong. So stop acting as though a feeling you had is just as reputable as actual knowledge and education is. If that were true, then I'd be able to say that the Sun revolves around the Earth just because I feel like that's the truth. But wouldn't you think I was an...
Anonymous asked: So you seriously think that you're just as knowledged about the Bible as actual Biblical scholars, who have spent years learning about the history and context of every single verse in the Bible, are? That seems incredibly arrogant to me. And isn't arrogance a sin? Why not humble yourself enough to admit that there's plenty of stuff about the Bible that you don't know, and that,...
Anonymous asked: Also, why do you seem to be so unwilling to do some research before you state whether or not homosexuality actually is a sin? Ignorance is never a good thing, you know. So why let your Christian beliefs keep you from educating yourself? If it's a choice between being a Christian or being a well-educated human being, why choose Christianity? If you're worried about going to Hell, just...
Anonymous asked: What makes you think that the original Greek and Aramaic manuscripts were translated perfectly into English? Do you not realize that words in foreign languages often have more than one possible definition? Or what about the fact that the people who translated the manuscripts were just as sinful and error-prone as any other human being is? Why ignore those actual facts just so you can think that...

Anonymous asked: Tell me, have you ever actually studied the history and context of all of the supposed "anti-gay" Bible verses? Heck, have you ever even read those verses in the original Greek and Aramaic (before they were translated a million times), and do you know what the words "arsenokoitai" and "malakoi" mean? Or do you just take those verses at face value, even though that...
