If you don’t know why male Homosexuals are different than female Homosexuals… like you don’t know how sex works? --then I don’t know what to tell you.
Go back to Middle School sex ed, return to me once you figure it out.
Yeah, but, I don’t know what to tell you first, so. Deal wit it.
I guess I should feel honored to be chosen as a representative for all Christians, though I think many(most?) Christians would disagree with your choice. You’re not the first to propose that Christians are not Christians. Didn’t Nietzsche say that the only real Christian was Jesus?
I suppose I bear some responsibility for taking this thread off topic that being the assertion that agnosticism is the only epistemically defensible position. It is a position that I held myself for some time and one that I think has considerable weight in these kinds of discussions because people are rarely simply argued into or out of belief in God. And belief itself is often taken to mean something less than knowledge which might be taken to imply certainty.
So belief is usually based on experience and experience implies conscious participation in an event. And that is a kind of knowledge in itself. This, I think is what is meant by gnosis a Biblical term and one that has a positive connotation and is not merely reserved for heretics even by the orthodox. It is this kind of first hand experience of God that I think Jesus was referring to when he said “ for everyone who asks receives; The one who seeks; And to the one who knocks, The door will be opened.”

Nietzsche was wrong. The propaganda of sex between men, although it forms the foundation, is carefully concealed. And that’s essentially all there is to “love”. Oh, and Pilate genuinely didn’t understand why to crucify, but the orthodox insisted.
God as a cannibal eats souls, a sadist and a bastard, will definitely not suit anyone?
I count five unsupported opinions.
Okay, you got me… think about it, what’s the difference between two penises and two vaginas?
And I’m inclined to agree with him at this point in my life…
Not if Christ was actually a real man, and fulfilled the Messianic Prophesies. Then it’s a matter of politics and history, not mythology.
American Protestant “Christians” seem to be very confused with Interpretation, unable or unwilling to differentiate between Analogies, Metaphors, and Mysticism. This is why Catholicism is objectively better than Protestantism. You cannot leave matters of complex theological interpretation to just any moron and back-water hill billy. Otherwise you have the “Christianity” of America.
…the first two belong to one sex, the second two belong to the other?
Guess you still don’t know what to tell me, so you math-smacked me?
How is homosexual sex between two penises anything similar to homosexual sex between two vaginas?
YOU made the claim. YOU should back it up…
Females have this very weird, and well, queer idea of “Equality” (of the Sexes).
You seem to have this idea that the penetrating act of sex, between a male penis and female vagina, can be inverted… right? How? Explain the Physics to me. Explain to me how a penis is “Equal” to a vagina… As it is YOUR presumption and hypothesis.
How are the Sexes “equal”? How are the two genders, “equal”?
The word “homosexual”?
Okay, you either don’t know, or you refrain from admitting your true opinions. I’ll aid you.
Those seeking ‘Equality’ in anything, are inferiors seeking “equal status” with a superior. This can be as simple as a poor man seeking “equality” with a rich man, a difference of money, wealth, and finance. Envy is the common factor. Equality is a recognition of Difference, different values.
In the sexes, on the matter of gender, the inferior gender seeks “Equality” with the superior gender. I do not mean to imply that male is naturally superior to female, or vice-versa, BUT, when you seek equality, then you admit your own, personal, inferior position. And this is true of ‘Feminism’ in general. It is an admission to an inferiority complex.
…an insecurity of a woman with her own femininity.
So those with copious amounts of the world’s goods, who have the physical markers of strength and virility, but think it is all emptiness and vanity and meaninglessness without treating everyone as ends in themselves… so they flip the script and empower others who aren’t being treated as ends in themselves… not necessarily with their resources, but also not hoarding their resources (overcompensating for lack of genuine recognition)… they are inferior and weak?
One cannot make a family on one’s own? Omg I feel so insulted.
I believe so, yes, specifically in the sense of serving an Ideal. Many call that ideal ‘God’.
Every organism in life is driven by a “core purpose”. Most of the time, it’s base-survival. Life treats itself as its own Purpose. But higher intelligence and Evolution demonstrate that there are higher and lower ideals, purposes, meanings, and causes in life. Humanity therein, seeks out “Higher Purpose” aka. higher Ideals in life. Humanity seeks to Justify its own Ideals, Righteousness.
In this way, Humanity serves higher and higher Ideals. Without an ideal, without a purpose, people will admit that their life is Meaningless (ie. Nihilism). And everybody essentially agrees. A life without meaning, is a life without value. It is not worth living.
…which is why ‘Equality’ betrays Difference, of Ideals, of Purpose, of Meaning, of Value.
Therefore:
Ideals are NOT Equal.
Furthermore:
Some ideals have greater ‘Weight’ (Gravitas) than others.
Furthermore:
Ideas are Material, not Immaterial. Ideas are Objects or “Things”.
Can’t argue with you there.
Those are questions. What does “Christ” mean? Was he a real man? Did he fulfill messianic prophecies?
You can’t leave existential questions to anyone. You have to answer them yourself.
Catholics and Protestants agree on the essentials (and Jesus being a flesh and blood human in history, the Christ … Savior … who fulfilled Messianic prophecies … is certainly essential), if they even bother looking into them. It is only folks who just like to argue over stuff who nitpick things to death.
