@kokalol7 The mere fact that you were moronic enough to write such a nonsensical comment shows how immoral you are...

[phantasmagorial]

Wow, just hardcore, irrefutable reason.

@sharprifleman Just having a little fun ;)

This isn't intended as an insult, but rather a sarcastic play on his wording emphasizing instead the moral neutrality of homosexuality. You're right, of course. I just couldn't resist.

@ThatDanmGuy Lets not stoop down to their level.

I don't need a book to tell me that killing is wrong, for the same reason that I don't need to be told that taking a child's toy is wrong. I'm taking away something they like (i.e. their life) so it's wrong.

@kokalol7 If I suck a Christian's cock would he acknowledge that it's right?

@mrtadreamer That is the most stupid question I have ever read.
