It's not my religion that commands me not to judge, it's your religion. I'm under no obligation to follow your religious tenets--Hell, even YOU don't follow them.
We are the ones being beaten and killed, that gives us the right to protest.
Yes, I can. Kersey Graves' book THE WORLD'S SIXTEEN CRUCIFIED SAVIORS. I could give you 10 more sources, but you won't even look at this one, so why should I bother?
Of course they do! There are Muslims dying every single day for that very reason, aren't there? They believe at least as strongly as you do: "People do not die for what they know is a lie." There you have it in your own words.
I never said that they didn't believe it, lots of people believe the rules they live and die by, but that's no guarantee that those rules are correct--I'm willing to bet any reasonable amount of money that you don't think the Muslims dying for their beliefs makes those beliefs true, does it?
God did spell it out, He wants you to remain celibate.
Yep, and that's the argument that Christians and racists use to deny people the right to interracial marriage: you have the same right to marry a person of your race as anyone else does, therefore there is no discrimination. Didn't work, in my lifetime that issue has disappeared off the Christian agenda--God changed His mind, I bet. Right? Bigots are predictable.
If you are a counselor, then you know that's not true, but maybe your counselor degree is from Whattsa Matta U. just Siho's biology degree.
You're repeating yourself. And it's still bigoted nonsense.
I have condemned your actions but never have I claimed to be speaking for God, I always speak for myself. You condemn in God's name and therein lies the Judgment that your religion expressly tells you not to make.
I want the beatings, killings, and rapes to end. Great, you won't get your hands dirty, but you will hide in the voting booth and express your arrogant, self-righteous beliefs on others with the force of law. So that would make you a coward as well as a religious bigot?
Live your life, let others live theirs. Returning to my previous post:
You wish to make decisions for yourself, you demand that right, but also demand the right to deprive others of that right.
I don't wish you to change your loyalty to what you believe is God, I want you to stop trying to tell me that you know better than I do what God wants me to do. Simple as that, give me the freedom that you currently enjoy. Live and let live.
Are you listening? I want the persecution in God's name to stop, I want the killings, the beatings, the rapes, the denial of equal rights, and the endless condemnation in God's name to stop. That's all, I just want what you already have, the right to live my life without self-righteous, self-satisfied, arrogant people telling us how God wants us to live our lives. They are our lives, God speaks to us just as He does to you.
Why don't we deserve the same right to listen to what we think God is telling us?
