The Rant Thread/My Life Sucks Topic [Don't be pricks]

[Dudeman]

Wow, sounds like Braixen is going through Inside Out. I didn't even think that was possible.

Hang in there, buddy. Seattle has a lot to do to keep you interested.

"they may be inferior and lesser than you, but still be nice to them"

that's slightly personally offensive to me

Same.
I don't see anyone as "lesser" than myself.....no matter what they believe or how different they are from myself.

[Dude]

So in your eyes, people who "sin" by being a homosexual are just as... holy (I guess??) as you, is that what I'm getting?

I think that's the right word I'm looking for... Idk what else to use.

I think the word you're looking for is "imperfect." Even Christians/religious people have their flaws and all flaws should be treated equally. Some people (usually holier-than-thou Christians) have this preconceived notion that certain groups people are inherently more evil than others, and while this may be true from the standpoint of laws or how many laws someone has broken, it's not true from a sense of perfection. Nobody's perfect. If you acknowledge that, then you have an easier time getting along with people whose lifestyles you don't agree with. ...does that make sense? It's a little weird to explain.

[braix]

That's the idea that I have:
We all sin, no matter what. A sin of stealing or disrespecting elders, for example, may not neccesarily be any better than the sin of homosexuality. So if you look at them as equal sins, you can't say that a straight dude is more righteous than a gay dude.

edit: tapatalk doesnt warn me of ninjas i hate it

[Dudeman]

Braix sums it up the best. While I may not agree with homosexuality, I shouldn't think any less of a gay person because I have sinful things in my life as well.

[Altissimo]

but the implication is that homosexuality is a sin

[Dudeman]

From a Biblical standpoint, it is. But y'all are great people so who cares.

[FireArrow]

And more so that heterosexuality is less sinful along side it. I don't care if you love me as much as the next guy because we're all sinful, I don't want my feelings to be treated as less significant or meaningful than that of a straight guys.

Lust is also a sin, so any type of sexuality is sinful I suppose?

[MaestroUGC]

Please move this conversation to the Religion Topic. Thank you.

[Dude]

It has more to do with homosexuality than religion tho...

We could make a sex topic, I guess.

If it were just about that then I'd agree with you; but you're discussing it within the context of religious beliefs.

[Dude]

What if we add politics into it too, then what topic does it go in?

[Dudeman]

I guess no one's really ranting anymore, so...if it were a mixture then I guess it should go in the PYTotMT?

I dunno. Someone rant about something.

[Dude]

75% of NSM mods kill interesting discussions about things just because the topic shifted slightly.

They never progress the same than if they stayed in the original topic it started in.
