My face when a theist friend of mine told me that "Gays only choose to become homo because it's accepted in every society, and it is a direct result of people not following the perfect morals offered by Islam" (i.imgur.com)

So, following the prophet's perfection, he thinks it's OK to have sex with 9 year olds.
Keep your kids the hell away from him.

HE WASNT A REAL MUS- oh.
By the way, everyone: its a *she not a he :)
It makes a big difference, for "men are a degree above them [women]" - Quran: 2:228
Edit: added the verse location of the Quranic Quote

Well, I should have thought of that...
...so what's she doing having opinions about gay men, who are above her by virtue of their gender? She shouldn't be saying anything unless she specifies 'lesbian'.
Ugh. That sentence was so repulsive. Going to go wash my hands and boil my keyboard.
[–]elvisliveson 2 points3 points4 points 4 months ago
theist? he a fuckhead.
[–]Changeling52 2 points3 points4 points 4 months ago
I would laugh, hard...before smacking them, but not because they're believers in a religion be it Islam or Christianity, but because I cannot suffer idiocy to continue. Than, after smacking them silly I would point out 'very' aggressively why they deserved that and just how stupid they are.
Again, I can tolerate alternative religious views, but ones that stray into the provably stupid get a boot to the head.

this is why i hate being gay sometimes. i could give a fuck less about being hated on all the damn time, but accepted? ive heard this too many times to honestly be able to say i havent ever lost my cool over it.
i dont think people started calling us fairies cause some of us prance around and whatnot - i think its because no one can get our damn mythology correct.
either everyone hates us, or everyone loves us, or were spiritually superior (google it...), or were trying to "convert" people, or we choose to be gay, or were pedophiles, or agents of satan, or we rode out of our mothers vaginas on rollerblading unicorns.
(for the record: were actually created when a scientologist captures the sneeze of a black mormon on the 2th tuesday of the month, places said sneeze in a vacuum chamber with glitter and the sweat of madonnas only straight back-up dancer, then applys a fierce techno beat played by a drag queen on ecstasy. then we must consume the child of our host family, assimilate for an undetermined period of time, then cause as much social unrest as possible under the guise of "being happy" and "equal". its simple - get it right.)

Life would be so much easier if I could choose what kind of woman I am sexually attracted to.
I always wonder if Fundamentalist Christians realize they're implying they have Gay Tendencies when they say that Homosexuals choose to be Gay.
[–]randomly-generated 1 point2 points3 points 4 months ago
I wish I could say that about my friends. Oh wait, I'm not friends with stupid assholes.
[–]amazinglyanonymous[S] 1 point2 points3 points 4 months ago
Its sad because I was really close with this theist friend; always thought she was open minded and such. Boy was I wrong when I talked to her about my atheist views! :|
She doesn't know I'm Gay though! I recently began regularly sending pictures of shirtless male celebrities to her... She just thinks I'm trying to annoy her, though. I'm hoping she'll get the message within the next millennium.

I wish I could choose to be gay. I know I would be a better dancer, better at talking with women, a better dresser, and live a more interesting life. Damn it sucks to be straight. Been married for 15 years so it's not like I am coming in contact with a naked woman on a regular basis. I think the conversation would be better. ....... OK what the hell, I will give it a shot.
[–]Cyanide_Cola 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago
She's right you know, I became a homosexual because I knew if I was gay everyone would love and accept me and my parents wouldn't kick me out of the house. And I wouldn't have to worry about people harassing me and my partner for no apparent reason other than the fact we're gay. And we have the right to be married and adopt children everywhere and people are just fine with it. No one questions our parenting abilities because we're gay. Not to mention it's really cool that we don't face the death pendently in some countries just because we're gay. Oh, wait...

From the look in Sam's eyes there, I'm assuming you raped him right after giving him that stare.
I don't understand that idea! It doesn't make sense; if gay people chose to be gay, why do so many gays commit suicide because of their orientation?
Researchers have found that suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender youth (LGBT) is comparatively higher than among the general population. According to some groups, this is linked to heterocentric cultures and institutionalised homophobia in some cases, including the use of LGBT people as a political wedge issue like in the contemporary efforts to halt legalising same-sex marriages
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_among_LGBT_youth]
It's a preposterous idea.
On a related note, one of my classmates at school (Muslim) pronounced these thoughts about homosexuals:
Men go gay after having sex with so many women that they get bored of them and want something new
No joke - he was being completely serious.

Since when did being atheist entitle you to constantly belittle other peoples beliefs and boast a grossly over-sized superiority complex. Seriously guys get your shit straight and those sticks outta arses. btw if you had some atom of literacy you'd know that stated above is not the reason Islam [along with many other religions] prohibit homosexuality.
[–]Bearence 5 points6 points7 points 4 months ago
Sounds like you have a bit of a reading comprehension problem.
[–]Heaps_Flacid 5 points6 points7 points 4 months ago
Literacy isn't measured in atoms.
You probably would have known that if you were a little more literate.

Since when did being too fucking stupid to accept reality entitle theists to promote hatred, violence and bigotry against gay people who have never done a fucking thing to deserve their ignorant hatred?
[–]amazinglyanonymous[S] 2 points3 points4 points 4 months ago

FTFY. She, the theist, is doing the belittling, not me.
Can you not see that SHE is belittling gays and, indirectly and to some extent, non-Muslims? Seeing as I did NOT provoke her (this started when she asked me what I disagreed with in the Quran and one of my points was the anti-gay stance of the book), I dont know what you're talking about.
They belittle gays. I'm against that belittling.

Guy 1: Faggots are going to hell! They must not receive equal rights!
Guy 2: The Bible isn't infallible, you know.
Guy 1: Stop oppressing me!

I'm sorry, but if this were an issue surrounding a belief based around intangible, untouchable, unobservable beings that can neither be proven nor dis-proven...than and only than would I say you were even close to being in the right to make such an arrogant comment. This persons 'friend' shall we say, made a blatantly stupid remark connecting the reasoning for homosexuality behind societies open acceptance of them. This is not only stupid because it ignores the fact that a large swath of the world still considers homosexuality illegal and punishable by death and therefore a comment further disproved by homosexuals turning up in these areas of the world. It is also further stupid because it is provably wrong on a level supported by scientific study in multiple fields.
If anyone in the above scenario has any sort of a superiority complex, it's the theist who seems to think all source of morality and ethics in the world flow from their beliefs.

Everyone is entitled to belittle the beliefs of others when those beliefs are blatantly ridiculous.
