You can't cure retardation.
Such people would always gravitate towards ignorance, regardless of religion's existence or not.
Also, this shit ain't anything new, or uncommon. No offense, but you must be inexperienced with the ways of the world and/or naive to be surprised by this. Far worse shit happens on a daily basis. Don't buy the bull that modern society feeds you - that we're now in an enlightened age. We ain't even close. We're just now one level above dog-shit compared to prior centuries, and that's on the surface level only, even.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Proverbs are all new testament along with others.
Luke 16:13
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”
1 Timothy 16:17-18
As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share,
My signature except for the first two are all new testament.
Even in the new testament there are ways in which you sin in your every day life. There are hundreds of every day actions that real people commit on a daily basis that are considered sinful even in the new testament. Yet the evangelical line is that "God will forgive us for our sins because he sacrificed his son."
So ultimately I must ask, why then, if all other sins are forgiven on the spot, is homosexuality not? There is NOTHING in the new testament about the other sins being special and forgivable, and homosexuality not.

2014 Gamergate: "If you want games without hyper sexualized female characters and representation, then learn to code!"
2023: "What's with all these massively successful games with ugly (realistic) women? How could this have happened?!"
I do feel free. and I am well aware of the "end", its nothing. there is not god, there is no afterlife. there is one life, you live it you die you cease to exist.
I am fine with that. I did not exist for billions of years before my birth, I will not exist after my death....but i am having as much fun in between as I possibly can. Dont waste the short time you have trying secure a better place in an "afterlife" that does not exist,its such a waste.
Ah... you Americans and your religion, aren't you cutie pies.

Why do people try to use proof to argue against people who willfully and acceptingly believe in things that can't be proven?
Sure, atheists have faith too, but it's not the same kind of faith that says it's ok to have slaves but bad to fuck a girl on her period because reasons.

The Onion really is a gem on this topic. We could go on all day.
Since this is pretty much just arguing about religion and sexuality, both of which aren't allowed on these forums because they turn into flamewars, I'm locking the thread.
