How utterly ridiculous a statement.
Impossible to prove but I [brought up and educated as a Catholic] have always believed the church was founded and promoted by homosexuals...it has always glorified males and treated women with contempt, except when in their traditional roles as mothers, and even then women don't/didn't get much respect from the "fathers" of the church. Homosexuals are the only men who feel compelled to glorify and elevate men and who have nothing but contempt for women. This has been deeply embedded throughout church history and dogma from the beginning. You do the math.
I believe people who remain devoted to religion are child-like and addicted to fairy tales. People should think for themselves. If it should turn out, for the sake of argument, that there is no "supreme God-figure," then the Christian-Judeo ethic that all right thinking people abide by is the sole creation of man -- perhaps inspired by the belief in a supreme being but nevertheless developed and adopted by "mere" humans. Not believing in such a mythical God-figure does not make people bad. Just realistic.
Hawking said recently that he believes there is "something" [my quotes] -- some kind of intelligence -- behind the universe, [while not acknowledging that this entity would be a supreme being in the religion-based model]. I think that's the farthest he has ever come to making such a declaration.
But something does not equal a supreme being who created every nook and cranny of a world filled with misery, sickness, death, evil, and destruction. We mere humans should step up and take responsibility for what happens here on earth and maybe then those who find comfort in the words "it's God's will" will realize that some things are beyond our control [acts of nature, the weather, etc.] and some are not and that we all should strive to make the world a better place for everyone in this lifetime."
Ok. So...if those who believe are wrong, then nothing will happen, right? (Nothing on the other side of death. We live, we die, like plants. Period. Ok. Got it.)
BUT...If YOU are wrong, what will happen to you before the Judge of All?
OK, and I believe people who remain devoted to self are child-like and addicted to egomania.
But when YOU say it, it is out of intellectual superiority, but when I say it, it is 'cause I'm a dullard who cannot think for myself?
Jesus Christ said the same thing about his followers, but approvingly.
The more impressed you are with your own intelligence and wisdom over God's, the less likely you are ever to come to the truth about things that really matter.
And only a fool would conclude that homosexual behavior is healthy, smart, and morality-neutral. You don't have to conclude otherwise because Judeo-Christian belief says so. Nature itself teaches this obvious truth, and AIDS, anal gonorrhea, and hepatitis B etc prove it in spades.
Your stupidity is showing. Mount thy broom and hie thee to DU before someone dumps a bucket of water on you.
