Not homophobic. That would imply that I don't have gay friends. That would imply that I don't interact with them on a daily basis.
You know, at this point it's like two people with conflicting religions. Or an atheist and a religious person. Can the two co-exist? Definitely.

I never said you didn't keep your homophobic nature to yourself to avoid the awkward social problems it would create.
Look, I am of the opinion you are homophobic. I am entitled to it. I think your wrong and a trouble person who has issues with people in gay relationships. You can't stop me from having this opinion of you. I am entitled to it, even if you are insulted by it.

Pretty much a case of "View A is the majority" so "View not(A) can go fuck itself". No science or evidence or logic. Sorry for you that you don't agree with us, Qwyn, because apparently you thus don't have the right to be respected.
I don't quite agree with how you're being responded, it makes the whole message feel less progressive than we think it is, haha.

The content of this thread itself renders your "pretty much a case of" entirely wrong.

That's alright. I know you think I'm a homophobic. A lot of people here do. I've searched inside myself and come to realize a couple things, one that the world is shifting and that as part of our social contract we flow with it. As a progressive I am tolerant, thus I do not attempt to tell people what they should think or do, only what I think or do. Do I think I'm a homophobic? Judging from my experiences with the homosexuals I interact with on a daily basis, no. One can disagree with something without having a "phobia" of it.

And we have arrived. I am also religious and that book you are referencing is pretty clear on the subject of loving others and not judging. The judging part is taken care of by people above our pay grade after we pass on.
Also, that book has some messed up stuff that we just ignore, like that slavery is ok, or that we can't touch a pig's skin. I think we can ignore the part about laying with someone's brother.

Paul also says that heterosexual marriage is nothing more than an indulgence of temptation. Citing that weirdo isn't going to do your case much good.

It's fine. Thank you for showing respect, but I knew what I'd get coming in here and saying what I have. I'm Christian, and that's simply an explanation of Paul's doctrine from a Christian who's moderate, a realist, and understands the direction that the world's headed. I decided to come back after I said "the end" because I felt upset, even though my brain told me to leave.

I don't know what you're talking about, but I was only referring to the whole "Qwyn is the scum of the earth" thing.

No he does not...He says that if man should marry, it should be according to God's covenant. But yes, he also says that ideally man would live in the image of Jesus. I'm going to avoid making this a religious debate, though.

I haven't actually read exactly what he's said, so my apologies if this is slightly off-topic, but this reminds me of the general point that a lot of Christians make:
"But but but you're not tolerating my intolerance!"
Yea, sorry. Tolerance doesn't mean that we tolerate bigotry. That's an ass-backwards way of thinking that is utterly ridiculous. I'm not going to tolerate a racist or a sexist; I'm going to tell him how much of an idiot he is and boot his ass out of my house. If you can't tell the difference between intolerance (e.g. racism, homophobia, sexism) and not tolerating intolerance (e.g. calling out bigots), then you are just being childish.
Sorry, had to get that out there. I fuckin' hate that line of thinking.

Statistically speaking, there should be at least a couple of gay pro gamers.
5-10% of males are supposedly gay, so it's not far fetched to assume two of the top 25 are gays.
