Not possible and harmful.

And for no possible purpose, except saving the feels of a few people who are so uncomfortable with two consenting adults loving one another that -- not content with saying "not my thing, but live and let live" -- they have to attempt to crush that perfectly normal emotion.

And yet again, I will iterate this for future reference, because I'm getting tired of saying it and want to make sure you see it: I tolerate LGBT marriage in the secular world.


But God created Satan.

Is he not all-powerful then?


Who do you refer to as 'he'? If God, then yes; if Satan, then no because a created being is not as powerful as its creator.

Considering his argument seems to be that gay people make him paranoid and that they commit sin in his opinion, I disagree.

He hasn't addressed his contradiction on the rational basis of sin, as opposed to the theological basis of it, which we would all have to agree to argue, which plenty of people won't, because NSG is highly secular and/or atheist and most people in the world aren't Christians anyway so from a Christian standpoint it has less ground to stand on.

It's the problem with any theological argument, really. Unlike philosophical arguments, which can be applied to most things, theological arguments exist internally within philosophical discourse but not externally. Which is to say, you can make any philosophical argument and it can be valid and verifiable, but not a theological argument, since most theological arguments don't come from observation or deduction, but rather from inductive reasoning only.

This is only practical in few instances and irrelevant in several respects unless more things are invented for it/religious writings are updated.

He is not paranoid about gay people though, he seems to be paranoid about people in this thread questioning the sincerity of his argument.

Succubi in Hell... Or the chaste sausage fest of angels in Heaven.

Yeah, that's not a very dichotomous choice. Hell every time.

Choice implies that we'd take one or the other because of one reason or the other.

In all seriousness, why would anybody choose Hell. The Christian version of Hell has literally nothing good about it, and God apparently can't stop the lies of Satan, so he's not THAT powerful then.

Probably because his argument is so weak and contradictory, which, yeah, it is.

Every philosophical argument, theological or other, are arguments based on certain unprovable axioms. Theology bases it on whatever revealed truth the user accepts, be that Bible, Koran, or whatever. Non-theological arguments base on things like maximizing utility, natural law, or whatever the user accepts. Both are based on inductive reasoning from accepted principles.

Grats, logic 101.

Now prove the axioms in the Bible, Koran, or whatever, with deduction and evidence, which is what I said. Oh, right, you can't, because that's not how logic works. Induction by itself only works in limited circumstances in much the same way deduction works in limited circumstances.

Deduction and induction must be done at the same time in order to apply to most things.
