		<description>&quot;to demean those he claims not to hate?&quot;
I don&#039;t have to demean you as you are are very good at doing it yourself.

I am still waiting for as answer to this question...

Can you tell me the names of the ministers that have done this or is truthphobia taking you over?

&quot;And stupid people have stupidity because of a learning deficiency created in their childhood.&quot;

		<description>“Don&#039;t go any further in this discussion till you give coherent answers to the above questions.”

All three are found in the New Testament, but being a God hater, I doubt if this fact will even get as far as your brain because your anger and bigotry does not allow it to absorb rational evidence and I have no doubt you will make some banal comment to prove what I have just said. 

“P.S Tigalethpileser - You debate like a child (&#039;anyone who disagrees with me is a nazi&#039;) - how old are you actually?”

P.S. Here are some of the words your lot uses to try and ridicule those who do not agree with you….

dim witted fundamentalist

religofacists

YOU CLAPPED OUT TERRORIST

deranged Fundamentalist Christian

I guess when you are motivated by anger, that is the best you can do and why nobody takes you seriously.</description>

		<description>If there weren&#039;t presbyterian british in the North and it was part of the Republic, Northern Ireland would be more tolerant because almost all the homophobic politicians (in Northern Ireland) are presbyterian unionists. In addition, In the Republic of Ireland the hate speech are banned and there is more acceptance so only when Northern Ireland leave the UK and join the Republic it would be more tolerant and these things won&#039;t happen so frequently.


PS: I&#039;m not Irish, I&#039;m Spanish.</description>

		<description>&quot;Homosexuals have a same sex attraction because of an emotional deficiency created in their childhood.&quot;

And stupid people have stupidity because of a learning deficiency created in their childhood. 

Is their any point in lowering ourselves to discussion anything with a man who says &quot;very few Christians hate homosexuals, their dialogue is related to homosexuality&quot; and then uses a word like &quot;homonazi&quot; to demean those he claims not to hate? Ironic his use of a term like &quot;nazi&quot; when he&#039;s own views are not far from those of nazi &quot;Doctor&quot; Carl Vaernet used gay men for scientific experiments and had remarkably similar homophobic and unscientific ideals to Tiglathpileser. 

I have one word for that: hypocrisy. 

And hypocrisy is the staple diet of poorly educated religious people and bigots.</description>

		<description>“Tiglathpileser: take what you or any other homophobic bigot says about gays and replace gay with black. &#039;Nuff said.” Richard another one with truthphobia.

There is that word “homophobic” again. I have never heard of a needle sticking in one groove for so long.

There’s that word “bigot” again. Another stuck needle, especially as it describes yourself. 

Replace homosexual with black!!! Don&#039;t be so insulting to Blacks.What is your next joke going to be? Blacks are blacks because they are born black. Homosexuals have a same sex attraction because of an emotional deficiency created in their childhood. Common knowledge so how come you are totally ignorant of the fact or is a case of your truthphobia kicking in?</description>

		<description>“Are you denying that gay people were killed in the death camps? Wanted to hide that bit, did you? And WE&#039;RE supposed to be fearful of the truth????” Shia another truthphobic.

No, it is just another one of your beatups. The truth is the death of gypsies, Jews, Christians and the disabled were all part of Hitler’s superior race plan, so you don’t have a monopoly on the matter.

Jesus said &quot;Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven&quot;. As you are a feverish persecutor of gays, denying their rights as humans and denying the persecution they suffered throughout history, it looks like you&#039;re the one going to burn in hell. You&#039;re the sinner. You&#039;re the lost one. And I pity you.

From this comment I assume you believe that homosexuals are righteous, and that anyone who does not agree with the gaystapo is persecuting them. If that is the case, you are totally deluded, probably because of your truthphobia.
 
I agree I am a sinner and was lost but since I became a believer by embracing the salvation that Jesus offers, I have been assured that heaven will be my destination, not hell. 

You don’t need to pity me because I have abundant life and if I die tomorrow, I know where I am going. Do you?</description>

		<description>“Check any dictionary and you&#039;ll find that homophobia is not simply about fear but about hatred or even dislike of gay people” marjangles

Homophobia (from Greek homós: one and the same; phóbos: fear, phobia) is an &quot;irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals&quot;,[1] or individuals perceived to be homosexual; it is also defined as &quot;unreasoning fear of or antipathy toward homosexuals and homosexuality&quot;,&quot;fear of or contempt for lesbians and gay men&quot;, as well as &quot;behavior based on such a feeling&quot;.[2] It is defined by behavior (such as discrimination) as well as motivation (such as fear, antipathy or contempt).[2] Homophobic is the adjective form of this term used to describe the qualities of these characteristics, while homophobe is the noun form given as a title to individuals labeled with homophobic characteristics. Homophobia was first used with its modern meaning in 1971, although it was coined in the mid-1950s. Use of the word has been criticized as pejorative against those with differing value positions, with several researchers proposing alternative words to describe prejudice and discrimination against gays and lesbians. The term &quot;internalized homophobia&quot; is used to describe a prejudice against one&#039;s own homosexuality.

homophobia: unreasoning fear of or antipathy toward homosexuals and homosexuality.

Society&#039;s rethinking of sexual orientation was crystallized in the term homophobia, which heterosexual psychologist George Weinberg coined in the late 1960s. Weinberg used homophobia to label heterosexuals&#039; dread of being in close quarters with homosexuals as well as homosexuals&#039; self loathing. The word first appeared in print in 1969 and was subsequently discussed at length in Weinberg&#039;s 1972 book, Society and the Healthy Homosexual.

The American Heritage Dictionary (1992 edition) defines homophobia as &quot;aversion to gay or homosexual people or their lifestyle or culture&quot; and &quot;behavior or an act based on this aversion.&quot; Other definitions identify homophobia as an irrational fear of homosexuality.
 
“Standing in a pulpit and railing against a minority which has faced and still faces discrimination and worse seems to fit that definition for me and the idea that it is somehow brave just boggles the mind.”

Can you tell me the names of the ministers that have done this or is truthphobia taking you over?</description>

The term "internalized homophobia" is used to describe a prejudice against one's own homosexuality.</p>
<p>homophobia: unreasoning fear of or antipathy toward homosexuals and homosexuality.</p>
<p>Society's rethinking of sexual orientation was crystallized in the term homophobia, which heterosexual psychologist George Weinberg coined in the late 1960s. Weinberg used homophobia to label heterosexuals' dread of being in close quarters with homosexuals as well as homosexuals' self loathing. The word first appeared in print in 1969 and was subsequently discussed at length in Weinberg's 1972 book, Society and the Healthy Homosexual.</p>
<p>The American Heritage Dictionary (1992 edition) defines homophobia as "aversion to gay or homosexual people or their lifestyle or culture" and "behavior or an act based on this aversion." Other definitions identify homophobia as an irrational fear of homosexuality.</p>
<p>“Standing in a pulpit and railing against a minority which has faced and still faces discrimination and worse seems to fit that definition for me and the idea that it is somehow brave just boggles the mind.”</p>
<p>Can you tell me the names of the ministers that have done this or is truthphobia taking you over?

		<description>“We must all puke on these so called christians who think they define God.” Jesus of Nazareth who is a victim of truthphobia.
 
A typical, immature, and childish comment to bolster the ego of a homosexual suffering the ravages of rejection and trying to cover the damage it has done.</description>

		<description>“upwards of 50 million people were murdered in the name of this Christian God.” Steven MD2 another victim of truthphobia.

Another generalization picked out of the air to build an unsustainable case. Can I have some evidence for this number as I haven’t found it yet in the history books? 

This church gave the world the hatred of the Jews, Jesus own people.

The Jews have admitted that one the greatest allies they have is “Christians United for Israel”

“ Which the good Catholic Hitler leveraged into total power, and gave us WWII and 50 million more deaths.”

So boring. Hitler was not a “good catholic” He was raised by Catholic parents and he said the things that he knew would get the Catholics on side, but he was never one himself. I thought you would have known that being people who deny that they are befuddled by truthphobia. But then, you certainly prove the point that you don’t ruin a good story by telling the truth.

“And of course these so called christians of love have found another group to hate, if you don&#039;t prostate yourself to their fairy tales and superstitions.”

Unfortunately your rejection blinds you to reality. Very few Christians hate homosexuals. Their dialogue is related to homosexuality. At the same time it is very clear that the gaystapo are the cause of various expression of hate towards others if they don’t prostrate themselves before the fairy tales and superstition of homonazi demands. 

“Oh for the day when Christianity is exposed for the world to see.”

It is, that is why it is the fastest growing religion in the world. It is estimated that up to 100,000 a day are converting to Christianity. Not surprising as it is a religion based on love and acceptance. Not one where you have to earn your salvation like all the others. At the same time the church is at the forefront of care for the disadvantaged and dispossessed. People who are not biased and angry see these things every day. 

“Hatreds which give them mind control, power, mnoney and control. Which is what they are all about.”

Is that wishful thinking or solid facts which can be backed up. Perhaps you would like to enlighten us as to what those facts are otherwise my comment about your truthphobia stands.</description>

		<description>“Woo hoo. Every time I read about some loudmouth homophobe gassing on that being gay is a choice (&quot;dabble,&quot; &quot;impulsive&quot;), the first thing that comes to mind is he must think it&#039;s a pretty easy, tempting deal, like cheating on taxes, and most likely is terrified that those urges he keeps bottling up may one day get the better of him” by Richard who is suffering from truthphobia.

A common argument is that an inclination to homosexuality is inborn and immutable. It is widely believed that the public will become more accepting of homosexuality if they are convinced that it is inborn and immutable. For example, neuroscientist and homosexual Simon Levay stated: &quot;...people who think that gays and lesbians are born that way are also more likely to support gay rights.&quot; 

Research into the issue of the origins of homosexuality suggests that adoptive brothers are more likely to both be homosexuals than the biological brothers, who share half their genes which suggests that homosexuality is not genetically caused. This data prompted the journal Science to report &quot;this . . . suggests that there is no genetic component, but rather an environmental component shared in families&quot;. However, in regards to psychosocial and biological theories in regards to the origin of homosexuality, Columbia University psychiatry professors Drs. William Byrne and Bruce Parsons stated in 1994: &quot;There is no evidence that at present to substantiate a biological theory. The appeal of current biological explanations for sexual orientation may derive more from dissatisfaction with the present status of psychosocial explanations than from a substantiating body of experimental data&quot;.

Dr. Tahir I. Jaz, M.D., Winnipeg, Canada states: &quot;The increasing claims of being &quot;born that way&quot; parallels the rising political activism of homosexual organizations, who politicize the issue of homosexual origins. In the 1970s, approximately ten percent of homosexuals claimed to be &quot;born homosexual&quot; according to a large scale survey....However, in a survey in the 1980s, with the homosexual rights movement increasingly becoming active, thirty-five percent claimed to be born that way. That means 65% do not consider themselves born homosexual.</description>

		<description>&quot;Truthphobic&quot;???? 

How long did it take you to make that one up.

And is that why you deleted the last line of my quote, Tiglathpileser, the line that makes sense? The line that references the persecution of gays during the nazi period?

I said &quot;did the irony of this reference get missed by the learned pastor, &lt;b&gt;given gays were the first victims of the nazi regime, and the last to be recognised?&lt;/b&gt;&quot;

Are you denying that gay people were killed in the death camps? Wanted to hide that bit, did you? And WE&#039;RE supposed to be fearful of the truth????

Don&#039;t make me laugh.

Jesus said &quot;Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven&quot;. As you are a feverish persecutor of gays, denying their rights as humans and denying the persecution they suffered throughout history, it looks like you&#039;re the one going to burn in hell. You&#039;re the sinner. You&#039;re the lost one. And I pity you.</description>
