Interesting thought I had.

Why is it okay for people to mock God and religion, but it's not okay to mock homosexuals?
I just wondered because I see religion mocked constantly, yet somebody says something about a gay person, and people flip out.

Because religion is simply an ideology. Homosexuality is a clinical condition, just like being heterosexual.
Homosexuality actually describes a primary sexual drive. Similar terms describing primary sexual drives are heterosexuality, pedophilia and ephebophelia. How you feel towards the opposite sex, is exactly how a homosexual feels towards same-sex, and exactly how pedophiles feel towards children.
None of these terms should be deragatory, they aren't in a clinical context.
So, I guess my point is, religion, like Christianity, Scientology, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc.. they are ideologies, beliefs, world views and are meant to be the subject of much debate and ridicule. Sexual preference is a biological fundamental element that drives a person's behavior and cannot be changed by will, it's not a belief system.
i like your explanation.
you choose your religion. it is a belief, external to you as a person. homosexuality is not. it is who you are, as a person. just like you can mock democrats, but it's wrong to mock black people. one is jut a chosen social group, the other is your dignity as a person.
who knew we'd post the exact same explanation? you see, we're not so different, you and i. i just talk nicer
yeah i like your explanation better.....i don't need to read a textbook.....;)
Mine is more descriptive :(
which works when you're speaking in scientific circles. but if you want to reach the masses you've got to learn to speak their language
Oh like this
Last night while I was fucking your mom
She said, "it's so big and so long!"
I thought 'bout what you said
and realized that your wrong
That's about the way people talk around here, without the catchy rhyme.
I don't believe being gay is something somebody is born with. That right there itself is an idea, not a truth. Nobody can prove being gay is something you're born with, it's just something some people believe. That there is a God cannot be proved, it's a matter of faith.
I myself am a Christian, and I believe people who mock God are devil possessed, as are gays. But that's going to make a lot of people mad at me, I don't care, but it's a statement I am making. Would I get on tv and mock them? No.
I get offended when people mock God, but nobody cares. But if somebody mocks a gay, everybody gets ticked off. Makes no sense and it's typical of the times.
According to the PJ regs, you can believe an apple is a pear and it becomes your reality to which no one can refute. So by all means, hate fags, I'm sure they will just realize that it's your opinion. Regardless of the fact that it's been objectively proven that people are born homosexual. This place isn't about facts and shit, it's about prejudice, hate and opinions.
it can be proved. they're very close to discovering which genes are responsible for homosexuality. when they do, i wonder if you'll suddenly be ok with abortion when you know you can get rid of homos that way?
no, im not mad about you thinking "people who mock God are devil possessed, as are gays." personally, i think that's pretty damned funny. people like you are so cute with your superstitions and ignorance. have you ever been to jesus camp?
Dude no-one really mocks God as such, they are mocking people that use him as a reason to look down on people as devil possessed and force outmoded rules/beliefs on everyone else.
We have education now to tell us that we need to work the fields to survive and not kill each other, we dont need institutionalised religions.
Personally im not sure about the big G but i know one thing, if he cant take a joke then fuck him
Have fun in non-existence when your dead.
So you're scared of him? thats not a great reason to follow someone my friend.
I'll kick his ass and buy him a beer.
But hey if you're codes are right, believe me bud, i will NEVER get to meet the little fella.
im just hoping you get to heaven soon... like, REAL soon.
another interesting thought would be why is god automatically assumed to be a he? god created us, but males can't create, only females...?
also, to the original post i'd say a big difference would be religion is an idea, a gay person is a PERSON. i can think a certain fashion style is crazy, stupid, whatever, it's different when it is focused towards an individual w/ feelings and emotions
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
You feeler you, no wonder the ladies like you. But we agree, I just think the way you said it is more popular.
About the females creating thing. That's not exactly true. In humans women can only create other women by parthonagensis and under very rare circumstances. It actually requires a very rare non-hereditary genetic mutation. Typically, women require a man to create life. On the other hand, lizards can be hemaphoditic and some are by nature, they use a different set of chromosomes for sex determination. In those cases the hemaphrodite has both sets of gonads, ovum and sperm. They may be loosely referred to as females, though I'm not certain if they are in any scientific form. In this regard perhaps God is a hemaphrodite.
In addition to the thread, I would ask, why is it ok to ridicule or mock Odin, Anunnaki, Zeuss or Scientology? Why is it ok to mock Eminem?
it's not ok to mock either one, but if there was a choice, i'd rather take my chances on mocking a homosexual. a homosexual can't throw U into hell to burn for eternity.
ANYTHING that goes against God is of the devil, so being gay and mocking your creator are forms of the devil. you are correct.
fuck your god.
hmmm... no lightning?
The devils dead, Christ killed him in-front of a church. You want to see the video?

Nah man, I've said nasty stuff about God and denied him my whole life, he hasn't come near me, but hey, I don't see him when I'm unconscious either. It's like nothing without time.
i didn't mean women can have kids w/o men, just they are the ones who technically 'create' another life, a male just gives some fluid

yes it can, didn't god say something that went like 'judge not, least ye be judged....'?

that's why i said it's not ok to mock either one.
i was only saying if U had to pick one or the other, but you're right, both are wrong.
anyway, it's God's Word that judges them. if they are a homosexual they are going against God's Word, so that is the ultimate judge.
Poor you. All you really want is to mock gays and sadly everyone else is against you because they feel homosexuals are also people and deserve respect too. And on top of that some of them have the nerve to mock your god!
You know what, you should do your best to mock gays and ridicule them, that should get you a seat right next to Jesus in heaven.
