Gosh three years ago I put this clip on and look at the responses. As you will all be wondering, my beliefs as a very old man resolve around the basic tenets of Christianity because they seem to meet basic requirements for civilisations to survive. As to the myriad of writings from ancient pens, I find them interesting, hardly believable but apparently for many they are a guide to life which they need.

@harry4health , I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. - Susan B. Anthony

Those people who tell me that I'm going to hell while they are going to heaven somehow make me very glad that we're going to separate destinations

totally unrealistic -- no xtian has ever been embarrassed by either their ignorance of the bible, their hypocrisy, or by reality.

The Hebrews were morally well ahead of their time despite the barbaric laws that anyone seeking to find blame in bible-readers are in such a rush to point out. The old testiment is a wild, uncivilized tale because of ways of the world at the time it was written. But it is also a bloody, violent journey into the depths of the human heart.

Its not okay to call transgender people, "gay," a word that is overused in our society and that is surely spoken all the time out of great ignorance. However, it reveals a poor historical education when someone claims that the bible was written by a primitive, superstitious, sand people.

Best tv series ever. Also a nice uppercut to all the religious retards.

@onemarktwoyou You're taking what I said out of context. In fact you're talking about a completely different topic.

You said "I get that your hate is your main driving force." That, and only that is what I was referring to when I said you're projecting.

...It's easy to see why you were having so much trouble understanding tsBJ's side of your discussion (yeah, I read it) -- you got lost with me in just one sentence.

@skoockum

She took the quote from Susan B. Anthony out of context. The next thing she goes all over the place on what i am not sure. Read the comments from the start. It is obvious she was the one with a problem. All I did was to say it was out of context.

@onemarktwoyou I'd say you're projecting

@tsBobbieJo

I get that your hate is your main driving force,

[tsBobbieJo]

@onemarktwoyou I'm done explaining reason and logic to a bigoted, homophobic, hate-filled person who is simply masquerading as a "christian". You still don't get it.

Goodbye, and you've been blocked.

@skoockum good point

@tsBobbieJo

So, are all bible believing Christians homophobes in your opinion. Your comments are not clear.
