I am not going to try and win any argument. I will not even argue. You can do what you please, for sure. I believe in the Bible. God calls homosexuality a sin and sin it is. There are many gay people being preachers today...but they are self made preachers and have nothing to do with true Christianity. Actually, LGBTQXYRDF is not the minority today, true christianity is.
And I hope the Christianity stays in minority until it completely vanishes from the world just like all religions since they caused and continue to do so, many injustices, deaths and fear to the whole population they preach. You should also know your bible more since it's not "God" who called homosexuality a sin which the word wasn't even invented back then but the Moses law which was used to control the population of Israel at the time, then again there's enough scientific proof that proves Moses has never existed.
 
Again, you have failed to answer my question; you say the Bible say's homosexuality is a sin yet you are apparently ignorant as to why you think it states that.

Here's a shocker for you - the KJV bible may say this in Pauls writings, but other translations do NOT. Oh noes! How can this be?

Luther's translation for example doesn't mention homosexuality in Corinthains, for example. Nope, he states "Kinder sexuell missbrauchen" (to abuse children, sexually), the two French transaltions from 1774 have either "ceux qui commettent des péchés contre nature" (those who commit sins against natuire) which is similar to the Danish version) or "les abominables" and the 1602 Irish translation by William O'Domhnuill, uses "dáoine míonadúrtha" (unnatural people).

None of these have Paul writing about Homosexuality. Odd, huh?

How can this be? God's word isn't the same in different languages? Wait, please tell me you knew that the bible wasn't written in English?

You are a typical bible basher - you know oh so very very little about the book your profess to follow, yet you push it mercilessly.

That is sadly oh so common today.

I gave you several chances to answer thew question - you failed to answer it. This should surprise no-one here.

Again it is shown the most vocal and vehement of Christians are the ones who know least about their most holy of their books.

This lesson in Bible studies was brought to you by the letter T and the number 2. You're welcome...

Let’s not forget Paul never even met Jesus, never mind God yet he talks as if they’re best mates.
 
How can a straight person (guy or girl) work for Apple anymore? Imagine receiving a corporate email announcing the Apple’s participation in the 2018 LGBTQ parade. What goes on in the back of a straight person’s mind? “I really don’t want to do this, but I have a dream job, a family, a couple car payments, and a mortgage. If I don’t go, my career is goong nowhere. So, I have to bite the bullet and go. I have to take selfies with my boss and his boss and, hopefully, a few execs and post them on my social media to make sure everyone knows that I participated and had a lot of fun.”

What is this if not the new liberal establishment shoving their agenda down the throats of the people who hold traditional views and who want to guard their families from this new reality? Is this new reality for the better? Is the LGBTQ agenda a new Civil Rights frontier? Am I a bigot for wanting my eight-year-old son to appreciate the rainbow as a message from God in the sky and not as a message from the LGBTQ community on flags, shirts, watch bands, and watch faces? Am I wrong trying to keep him away from falling a victim to the LGBTQ propaganda like over 50% of American teenagers who have already fallen a victim to it? After all, over 50% of American teenagers identify themselves as gender neutral now, and this has happened to some of my nephews and nieces. Their parents (my siblings) now wish they had intervened earlier and not let the LGBTQ “village” indoctrinate their kids’ young minds. It’s too late for them now as their kids are experimenting with the LGBTQ lifestyles.

The vast majority of straight people support gay rights. I'm a married heterosexual man. I've been to every pride event in the last 20 years. The views you describe are not "traditional", they are sick and bigoted. Please don't bother responding. The system has a nice ignore feature that insures I will never read your post again.
 
I keep wondering what Apple is actually doing these days.

Seems like a liberal’s dream. Little work, lots of pride, and a bunch of pissed off customers in its wake.

Why complain ? Apple celebrates lot of events.

Of course they celebrate The March for Life every year :D ?

I wish Timmy would celebrate pride in Macs and quality software Then again he'd have to put away his SJW-ing to make them...

My prediction is that he is using his time at Apple as a stepping stone into political office.
 
This celebration is about wanting to be equal, tolerate and supportive of others as well? How about pride in other groups like religious groups, other nationality groups?

We have Christmas and Easter every year for them for starters - what more you want? Heck, we have Federal holidays.

Least we have our pride on a weekend to minimize the inconvenience to y'all...

And we also have St Paddy's day. You going to complain about them as well?

I was talking about other religions and other nationalities . Gotta be equal nowadays . :)

We'll see how many Christians there are who'll be happy to trade say Easter for Isra' and Mi'raj - gotta be equal nowadays, right?

You’ll never get equal time for every religion or nationality, but i’d Be surprised if a company the size of Apple didn’t have events to celebrate Diwali, Eid Al-Fitr, Guy Fawkes Day, Cinco de Mayo, and many others.

Christmas is one day, Easter is one day, they are not an entire month. And not everyone celebrates them anyway. That’s how I see the comment tour replying to and yours, is love to have a months paid holiday! Not that Pride month is that, but I’d love it!

The amount of lead up to Christmas goes well beyond a month - AND it's a Federal holiday..

At the end of the day, pride is the LGBTQ community coming together to celebrate the struggles then culminated with Stonewall. What's wrong with that.

The American Irish have St Patricks, why can't we have a day?
 
Of course it didn’t start with Christianity. I am saying much of what people like about modern culture comes from Christianity.

Christianity has been around for almost 2,000 years, but I wouldn't want to live then. I wouldn't want to live 1,000 years ago. I wouldn't want to live 500 years ago. I want to live now, when medical advancement has given us long, healthy lifespans, and scientific endeavour gives us an entire world of wonder to marvel at, and society is growing kinder and more compassionate and more equal.

Oh, feeling ostracised? Just think how people like you will feel in 40-50 years when your beliefs have all but died out. Your children will be the most hated members of society... Is that what you want to raise them to be? Your one and only duty to them is to ensure they live fully, happy lives. This seems counter-intuitive.
 
Bible and my believes will for sure outlive you:)

Oh I love technology as much as anyone. I actually don’t think people are more compassionate now. I also don’t think people are happier.

The bible, yes. However it's pretty apparent that the only belief you posses is beleif that you have belief.

And that's an important distinction; your posts here have made it abundantly clear that your belief is actually somewhat hollow. Like the other chap who's been around here on MR you are quick to throw out the wishy-washy lines but have no courage in your convictions to actually back them up.

To wit, you state it's a fact that marriage is between man and woman. It's not. A fact is something provable. I am married to my wife. I am female. We have a marriage certificate, we file jointly. We are, in the eyes of the law, a married couple.

ergo, your statement has now been proven to be factually wrong.

I've challenged you multiple times to justify your belief; apparently your belief is lacking. A true believer would have challenged me, a true believer would have countered my arguments with a theological discussion on language and meaning.

You however...crickets...
 
How did more than 50% of teenagers get to identify themselves as gender neutral?
Please be sure to wash your hands after pulling that statistic out of your rear-end.
[doublepost=1529967858][/doublepost]
Or yes, they do get to choose their sexuality in most cases.
Yes, I was presented with an easy life as a straight white male and chose to instead face likely discrimination at some point in housing, employment, service, and/or society in general by being gay. Whoopsie daisy!

And to think I’m better off than many of my fellow LGBTQ individuals saddens me.
[doublepost=1529968073][/doublepost]
I love when the so called ‘LGBTQ agenda’ gets tossed around. There is no evil agenda
Yes, there is. Meetings every second Tuesday of the month at 7 PM.

You'd think straight guys would have gotten over their heterosexual panic by now.
 
Young children should have a childhood. Parents shouldn't have to explain sexuality, either way, to a 9 year old.It's inappropriate.
I’m not sure why it instantly has to be about sex, so I’ve never understood this argument. What’s so difficult about saying, to borrow from a wonderful Ingrid Michaelson song, “girls chase girls chase boys chase boys chase girls”? It’s not like they need a full and detailed description of gay sex before they need one of straight sex.

Borrowing from that same song: “Let’s not make it harder than it has to be.”

The App Store pictures have women being intimate with each other--not knocking boots, but clearly being romantic. I feel the exact same about heterosexual apps. I don't recall Apple "featuring" eHarmony Apps with intimate couples and I wouldn't want to see it. A 9 year old goes there for games. I don't want to explain complex social interactions to a child.
