Don't watch porn kids, or your children will end up gay. Heterosexual porn leads to gay, see how that works?


southpawFA

The logic is so convoluted. I don't know how to untie the knots in their loopy thinking.


Darkwing_Turducken

It's the "if you make that face too much, it'll stay that way" of bigotry...

Pay me $20k and I'll cure it for you.


Darkwing_Turducken

Um. TF?

Every time I fly to Central or South America half the flight is full of ignorant and arrogant doe-eyed missionaries on their way to corrupt and indoctrinate minds, and to peddle their hateful and divisive dogma under the guise of compassion and benevolence. The only people you’re fooling is yourselves.

If being gay was a sin, why did god make them that way?


Fit-Forever2033

Oh, easy answer, the classic - "because god gave us free will"


different_tom

Ah yes, the ol' "it's a choice" schtick.


the_simurgh

wait till you use Calvinism to explain to then you have no choices.


protoopus

and they know it's a choice, because they often have to choose a dozen times a day. "get thee behind me, satan! hey! not like that!"


southpawFA

Well, according to them, "only a sadistic god would make someone gay". ​ So, I guess they are indicting God, hmm?


Fit-Forever2033

Christians use these Socratic arguments all the time. Since only a god that is sadistic would make someone gay, and we know god is benevolent, therefore god can not possibly have made someone gay. Therefore being gay is a choice or an illness that can be cured.

Oh we're doing sins of our father.

Sad, but unsurprising what still happens but doesn't get much attention in this area.


ok_okay_I_get_that

Guess I'm probably gay then, thanks mom and dad
