So you did not read it, and you are going to criticize it? Way to invalidate any claim you have made and will make.

Because when someone goes out of there way to pretend they're not homophobic while at the same time calling for the death of LGBT people, what ever "evidence" they bring to the argument has become irrelevant.

Did I SAY that was the case? I said that the spreaders of the disease were promiscuous sinners.

Glad to know that your issue with that post was me misreading your post and not the fact that I'm a promiscuous sinner. Now we know where your priorities truly lie.

Yeah, no, because it would encourage homosex, which is a crime.

Lol what a waste of taxpayer money tbh

My problem with your argument against homosexuality is that, of what I can see, you say it is bad because, "God says so". I respect your religion and that you have a different opinion and all, but as someone who doesn't believe in a God of any kind, this argument means virtually nothing to me. Why exactly should I, as an atheist, believe that it is wrong because someone, who I don't believe in, said so? And for what reason does he hate homosexuality so much?

Which, yeah. Unless you're also going to argue that murder is somehow loving.


Homosexuality is indeed a sin that warrants the death penalty.

Did I not ask you, politely, not to do this?

That's a rather ignorant comment.

Again, how is the Qur'an accepting of science and yet your "genius" says belief in evolution is by people who are against Religion? Never mind Darwin was very religious. Then again your "genius" would like to see Darwin excluded since he wasn't a Muslim.


So what is your point? Because remember, the evolution is the theory that animals evolved on their own, which is against religion. Islam states that everything follows the laws of God. Animals evolved, but why? Because of the laws of nature. And who created the laws of nature? God. Also, the first person to write about the idea of natural selection wasn't Darwin, but rather Al-Jahiz, an Islamic scientist.


I will admit I did not know of him. I had a look and I don't think you read him or is book as his comments go against what you just wrote.

From what I just read; his tome "The Book of Animals" isn't really a straight science book. It mentioned many things and some of his prose was risque in nature. I doubt you know he used pigeons as an analogy and discussed the forms of sexuality. Homosexuality in males and females as well as varying preferences regarding domination.

Anyway; he listed and mentioned over 100 animals with is rather impressive for a person in that age.

I don't know if he was first on evolution; I would have to see his writings.

I will look for a copy and for that thank you!

I always find it interesting how religious people claim that we can't question God, but they somehow can speak for him. If you're not allowed to understand the motivations of someone (God), you can't understand how they operate or what they believe.

Freedom is important. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc. Freedom to marry whomever you wish is important as well.

Two: it's still advocating death even if that's true

Rather, it is not advocating death. I disagree with her religion too(die-hard Protestant myself), but that is STILL not advocating death. She is merely saying what her religion entitles is the punishment for something(which should have no punishment). But that is not advocating death.

Posting past a ban by using one of your puppets loses you both the banned nation and the puppet. If want to appeal the ban, file a GHR.

Because the speech is only on their platform. What they're doing here is about as inconsequential as getting banjected for breaking a region's posting rules on this site.

1) It doesn't say it explicitly; the high court ruled it more on freedom of government restraint rather then a right conferred directly.

https://www.humanrights.gov.au/our-work ... expression

2) Indeed.

3) Actually it is as you agree to the rules to join. I am censored from speaking about my company in a public setting. I am not an officer and do not have the right to speak for the company. Just about every company on the planet has this.

It furthered a long running moralistic decline in western society. I'm also old enough to remember how gay marriage advocates in the early-mid 2000's insisted all they wanted was gay marriage and how they would never go further than that and how they would proudly exclaim "No! I'll never support those trannies and how dare you think I would!" if you brought up the prospect of it not ending there. If only more of us had the foresight to shut down the slippery slope before it started.
