Well, some people have faith, and they don't have a choice in having it or not. Personally I feel it's like having another sense like smell: imprecise, prone to misunderstanding, but it's there and those who have it cannot deny that they feel something.
Well, I had faith when I was a kid. When I grew up, I understood that it only does harm and consciously removed it from myself. It's possible. It is a choice.
I am sorry that you suffered because of having faith, I wish it didn't go down like that.
well, not really. power and lust for it is the cause of most *phobia in the world; homosexual and trans people are among the minorities that are currently used as an easy target to turn people's insatisfaction with the current situation on, like in the past it was the jews (and homosexuals, and jehowa's witnesses, etc) in germany, the japanese in the US during the war and the communists afterwards, etc.
Yes, but religious people are so stupid that they accept it. People who fall into religion are usually weak-minded and prone to exploitation. That is why we must actively combat the spread of religion. We must ban all public religious practices, ban all religious holidays, we must destroy churches. While I'm usually for freedom of thought, the spread of religious thought does extreme harm to society. That's why we have prisons in even most democratic countries. Because some people pose enough harm to deny them freedom. Religious people are exactly like that.
I should probably tell you that I am a liberal and a socialist. I do not support judging others especially minorities. If being gay is a sin, then that's gods job to punish not mine.
There are greater threats regardless of if gay is a sin or not, I do not personally like the idea, but its not my place to judge. So yeah...
