Salvation Army says -Gays Need to Be Put to Death- — Page 4

Salvation Arrrrmy! Salvation Arrrrrmeeeee!
Put your nickel in our drum!
Just don't take it up the bum!

Isn't the Catholic Church still only down with people being gay if they are also practicing chastity?! You can add as much verbal window dressing as you want to this issue, but tolerance and progressive attitudes towards self-imposed eunuchs is still crazytalk.

This is like when right wing politicians stopped openly saying faggot and instead just made it sound like they were supportive, and we all just had a spirited difference of opinion, etc., even though they didn't change any of their lousy ideas or policies. It just sounded more inclusive.

I'm a recovering Catholic, so I'm not bashing them for pure sport. I was head altar boy (that's not what it meant!) at my church, the whole deal... but at a certain point, you have to decide whether it is worth supporting an organization that, at the end of the day, is still anti-gay by any sane reading.

One standup comic summed up the Catholic position on gays pretty well as "No sex before marriage. No marriage."

Now, there are lovely, supportive people who call themselves Catholic and don't buy into this stuff, but that doesn't mean that at a base level they aren't directly contradicting the larger organization, its teachings, and its policies.

I still don't understand that kind of logic, HorseTears. I've grown up Catholic and have been one my entire life, and yet you expect that I am just going to somehow stop being Catholic just because you tell me to. I see all the good that the Catholic Church does and I see my own positive experience. I've never met somebody that has had a negative experience with it, and yet you seem to think that I am some kind of modem of evil because of my religion. Yes, the Catholic Church is not perfect, but my experience with it has been great. This will be the last thing that I will say on the subject, but I really don't think it is fair to say that my entire beliefs are corrupt, evil, and wrong, and expect me to just magically do something about it. I don't expect you, HorseTears, to magically become Catholic just because I have a positive experience, so why would it be fair the other way around.

For the record, I am done trying to convince you that the Catholic Church does more good than bad, that's not going to happen because you already have your set ways. I am trying to say that I don't understand the blatant disrespect for a different belief system and yet you claim "equality" or whatever, just not for people with a different belief system, apparently.

And Jordan...I said rude, not mean, and you are the only person I addressed.

School hasn't started yet, and I never post from my phone.

Roscoe, you're bullying Fantod. Did you not know that disagreement with kids these days is the same thing as bullying?

Now you're just constantly bullying him. CONSTANTLY.

You're asking a Millennial to not feel victimized and do something to benefit someone other than themselves?

Good luck with that.

This whole glorified fantasy-football league called Organized Religion has just gotten way out of hand.

If you're a Christian and set in your ways, you're an exemplary moral person. But if you're not religious and set in your ways, you're an intolerant bully.

He never stated what QSA exactly means in his church...I mean "school".

How can it exist? Wouldn't it be advocating "behavior" that is believed to be an abomination?

Dogma. Gotta love it.

I like how proof is just our "set ways."

I mean, the pedophilia scandal alone would seem to be a cause for a bit of humility. Or is that just part of if you don't encounter the pedophilia personally, how can you really add it to the mix of how you see the church overall?
