    Christians think gay people try to spread gayness because Christians try to spread Christianity. It’s projection.

    That’s why they project indoctrinating your kids, teaching it in school, having a gay country, having gay agenda, because that’s what they want to do with Christianity.

      Thank you for making me finally understand their twisted logic! I’m a bit embarrassed that I never considered that angle but thankful for your pointing it out!

    I think quite a few homophobic people are actually gay and think that everyone is experiencing their struggle.

    I’m straight, and really not afraid that anything is going to convert me.

      Many are bi, so for them it’s a choice on whether or not to act on it. So they project that it’s a choice for everyone. And the gays are choosing it because they’re lustful or sinful or weak or whatever.

        Yep. And add to that the fact that all Catholic priests decided against a traditional family for themselves and prefer whatever it is they are doing.

          Well, to be fair: using captive children for sex is what Moses commanded.

          Numbers 31:17-18

          17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

          18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

          If you want to have a bad afternoon, read this report on how the Vatican systematically protected and promoted known rapist to some of thehighest offices.

      An Inuit hunter asked the local missionary priest: ‘If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?’ ‘No,’ said the priest, ‘not if you did not know.’ ‘Then why,’ asked the Inuit earnestly, ‘did you tell me?’

    It took a little while, but they eventually learned not to knock on my door anymore lol After several tense encounters where I brought up the more unsavory parts of the Bible I finally got a doormat that just said “go away” on it. I think I was put on a list after that because that doormat wore out almost 3 years ago and no one from the local churches have ever come back here since

      Tell them you are disfellowshipped. They aren’t allowed to talk to you and have to leave.

    The door to door is for brainwashing. They are sent out to get used to rejection from anyone that isn’t already part of the cult and it becomes deeply rooted belief that nobody else cares about them etc. Anyone that actually joins(yeah right) is bonus.

    And the gay people that are being included are just sort of token characters, scenes, or facets of a character that can easily be removed if another country finds them objectionable. They’re like “Pride Month” characters just there to show “We’re being inclusive, see?!”

    MEANWHILE, Christians have to make whole fucking movies about their faith. You can’t just have a character who also happens to be Christian and tries to be a good person, nope, it’s got to be Christ-man, the avenging Christian super-hero who worships our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

      I was just recently saying this. It must be so frustrating for so much of their “representation” to just be a stereotypical caricature like almost every time. This applies to pretty much any underrepresented group too. That or always getting stuck with a repurposed character which rarely seems to go very well.

    LPT: if witnesses come to your house and you want them to leave immediately, just tell them that you are an apostate and they will go without any further interaction

    And even that isn’t really “enforcing”. At least I never had a problem with them.
