I think what Arse means is that while you cannot be legally persecuted for your speech (or opinions), in a regular setting he believes that respect still needs to be applied. For example, you could say verbal forms of bullying are free speech but that doesn't mean it is okay. You could say threats are free speech, or verbal harassment or abuse is free speech. But that doesn't mean that it is morally okay and it doesn't mean Arse has to "like" it.
WHOAA! somehow i really understand your point!! I encountered many people who met your description, as individual and or part of community, it was really taugh being around them because you feel like, you are in a circle of insane people, or people think you are the insane one.
Gay's have and will cause the downfall of societies. This is what the word of God says. I do not have to respect them. And expecting me to, is insulting my religion and my faith. Maybe in Kitten's imaginary communist utopia everyone agrees on what's respectful. But that's not real life. Someone is always going to be offended by what you say. Respect is not given in the real world, it is earned.
Do you not realize how awful of a thing that is to say? My god, I get you have your opinions and beliefs but that’s beyond words.
^^ straights have caused the downfall of society tbh. There aren't enough gay ppl to have the detrimental impact that all the straight ppl in history have caused
Also you can shut up about being religious. You just cherry pick which things you wanna follow. The bible also says 'love thy neighbor' so ya you do have to respect gay ppl but whatevs. You clearly don't actually believe that ish anyway cuz if you did you wouldn't be so hateful
I never mentioned anything about gay people, directly or indirectly. All I was saying is that is Arse's interpretation of the 1st Amendment. I wasn't even saying you had to adhere to his interpretation, or agree with it. I was merely helping explain what I believed he meant.
Gay people's unnatural acts make God punish the entire land. He does not approve of such acts, and he does not want us to allow such acts within our societies. Therefore, my neighbors are not gay. God did not intend for us to have such degeneracy in our ranks. It is YOU whom are cherry picking. If you want to quote bible verses and try to make a point, try reading the whole bible first.
I have read the whole bible. And if hell existed, which it doesn't, you'd be going to it because you make up your own interpretation of the bible.
I understand you have the right to speak your mind, but that’s where individual rights bleeds into public order. Going around in your tinfoil hat, banging your pans and yelling to anyone in earshot that “the gays” (as if they’re a different breed of people) are ruining societies is disrespectful and completely out of line. Especially the way you @‘d kitten. Pushing your religion on everyone as an excuse to spew your hate speech towards her is disgusting. I haven’t read the Bible in a while, but I do believe it says to make an effort to live peacefully among everyone and be holy since were bringing up God.
Read it again Leviticus 18:20-30 New International Version (NIV) 20 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your neighbor’s wife and defile yourself with her. 21 “‘Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molek, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the Lord. 22 “‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable. 23 “‘Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion. 24 “‘Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. 25 Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. 26 But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the foreigners residing among you must not do any of these detestable things, 27 for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. 28 And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you. 29 “‘Everyone who does any of these detestable things—such persons must be cut off from their people. 30 Keep my requirements and do not follow any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you came and do not defile yourselves with them. I am the Lord your God.’”
