After all, it's your pathetic religious bigotry and your ridiculous notions that you can impose your absurd beliefs upon others that makes the Catholic church more irrelevant with every passing day in the western world. Read my posts before posting an uninformed opinion about me filled with your preconceived notions of what a Christian is. Love the banner. Really colorful. Bye. | ||

So you're really ok with Paul saying that all sex is immoral and that marriage is just an indulgence of that immorality? But if you're ok with that you wanna turn around and say that people indulging their gay desires is somehow wrong? Oh and of course we have to respect you. Nothing but respect. *bows head* | ||

I would not go as far to say that the average top starcraft player equals your average joe. Consequently, the average of 5 - 10% does not need to apply. We do have a top NA transsexual player, who is overall strongly supported by the community. | ||

By moderating and banning homophobic/transphobic/etc posts, they kind of already made a stance on this issue. It's one thing to ban hate speech. Taking active support it's crossing the line (and of course killing esports). | ||

I might not agree with a single thing you said, but I respect your civil manner of expressing your opinion. I wish debates on the Internet were like that more often. | ||

From what I have seen, only posts that insult one's sexuality are moderated, while any post simply stating one's stance on sexuality is perfectly fine. But either way, I'm still curious as to why this issue, any not any others. Are two of the TL staff members or Liquid pro gamers having a same sex marriage? That would be totally awesome and so cute. | ||

PROTIP: You don't have the freedom to hate or be a bigot. Freedom of religion does not mean freedom from criticism or ridicule for inane and pointless judgement. PROTIP #2: Jesus didn't hate, and explicitly warned us against judging our fellow man. How about every time you get a bit of hate rising up inside of you, you give $10 to Habitat for Humanity or Child's Play? That's basically the exact definition of something I think Jesus would love to see come from his teachings - hate redirected and manipulated into some awesome charity. Anyway, I'm proud of TL taking this stance in line with Pride Week, and especially with something as classy/low key as a simple color change. I'm going to love coming here multiple times a day (as I am want to do) and seeing that mane despite the butthurt that will flow. | ||

That is why gay people demonstrate : because some people really think there are no gay people in their neighbourhood, or whatever, just some other place. Always some other place. | ||

Might want to adjust that because just dictating "you people" can come off as prejudice/racist and demeaning based on how you're referring it. | ||

Paul says that it is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman in line with the idea that the best man follows the path of Jesus. When he says that "sexual immorality" is occurring, he's talking about homosexual sex and orgies. He specifically says, as according to marriage, that "each man should have sexual relations with his own wife." Just want to help clear up that misunderstanding for you. | ||

It's really hard to hold on to my Christian faith when all around me are Christians using their religion as an excuse to hate or judge, when Jesus expressly told us it was not our place to do so about every other verse. I lost my faith at a young age because of the intolerance of Bible belt Baptists, but I gained it back after years of self-professed theism. And, of course, idiots are trying to force me out again for some reason with their blind intolerance. PROTIP: You don't have the freedom to hate or be a bigot.
