our citation of isolated anti-gay incidents over the course of the past century just proves my point.

Says the person relying on preconceptions, prejudice, and confirmation bias. You know....same as every other bigot throughout human history.

A list of attacks overwhelmingly carried out by Christianists. I once had a conversation with another butthurt Christianist, who said that gays who didn't like discrimination in the United States should move to Iran. Nevermind that that there are 3 to 4 many times as many GLBT's in the United States as there are Muslims.

Meanwhile, the number of (Muslim) districts and (Muslim) nations which are *EXPANDING* their adoption of the strictest code of Sharia is GROWING.

Meanwhile, the Mother Jones link you ignored talked about Christofascist Uganda, and their kill-the-gays-bill. Which was pushed for by Christofascist pastors in the United States.

I'm not pinning it on Islam, you fool, the shooter called 911 before his crime and did that himself!

And both you and ISIS have hung your dumbfuck asses out the window on this, as the shooter didn't give a shit about the Islamic State. He was a self-hating gay, the worst kind of homophobe. Because his dad was an uptight follower of Old Testament, Abrahamic BS, just like you Christianists.

...maybe we'll see more of that petrified wood from Antarctica.

You know, from when it wasn't snow and ice? (Yet somehow the world didn't end?)

The world doesn't need to end for it to be the end of the world.

Oh yeah, if the fast breeders can compute the square root of 2, they will take over the world, and could maintain democracy/communism/equality as opposed to monarchy/property/slavery world as a stable situation, such as it happens in China and Japan, (as these folks are good at math and they are also pedophiles - just watch any anime, like http://joyreactor.com/tag/ecch..., they all all 12-13 year old girls (even if the men are 80+ year old grandpas, it doesn't really matter who the men are, the women take 9 months per baby, and under such circumstances, premature born tending mothers might gain an edge, popping kids ever 6 months instead of 9, and the kids survive fine) and even Taro Aso got in some kind of not really trouble, well it was an issue, over being an anime fan) but the fast breeding will put a severe resource strain on the population, even if they dominate the world in a democratic, nonstarvation situation. Monogamy and 80 year old men sticking with their 76 year old wives instead of running off chasing a freshly matured 12 year old may be a thing of the past under such circumstances, because they get drowned out in voting power by the perverts. Neither is slavery/property/monogamy/monarchy starvation enforced world rich on resources such an idyllic situation, so there should be some kind of balance between communism and property, between starvation and nonstarvation, between equality/master-slavery, and monarchy/democracy, though I don't really see a magic answer that strikes such a balance. All I know is I don't want war and apocklipses, or property to the point of slavery, or communism without personal property where nobody has incentive to care.

No. They're actually not.

Yeah. They are.

The Bible specifically says that only certain regulations from the Old Testament are still in force.

You mean, the bullshit rationalizations Christofacists use to pick and chose which Old Testament sins still apply. Whining that this part of the Bible or the New Testament wipes out my sins but yours are still an affront to God. Why do you guys still try and argue this point after the Leviticus tattoo tore it to shreds is an open question.

I've seen this repeated a few times in this thread (and indeed whenever the intersection between homosexuality and Christianity is raised as a topic), however it is a misunderstanding of the theology of the most common Christian traditions.

Hardly. Christianists are cherry picking hacks to say homosexuality is a sin, based on the Old Testament, but they can go on eating pork and wearing cloths made from different fibers because the New Testament wipes away "those" sins. Surely you've seen this pic floating around the series of tubes, captioned

Tattoo of Leviticus 18:22 forbidding homosexuality: $200
Not knowing that Leviticus 19:28 forbids tattoos: Priceless

Why anyone tries to argue this point 14 years after West Wing laid down the definitive smackdown on the subject is beyond me.

Just like in biology, where "multiplication" and "division" mean the same thing.

The scanners are not the problem. The patdowns are not the problem. The fact that these things are there is the problem.
Bullshit things like this airport logic are the problem.
The fact that almost nobody complains is the problem.

The security theater and everything that comes with it is the real problem.

Security theatre isn't the problem, it's a symptom of the military-industrial-complex (now branching out into pervasive monitoring and other totalitarian activities). The problem is the idea that we're constantly at war (with other countries, illegal aliens, drugs, sexuality). I'm not a pure libertarian, but this is the most fundamental agreement I have with libertarians: that sacrificing freedom for the appearance of security is a sure sign you're going to lose all your freedoms... one by one.

TSA and DHS are the latest symptoms of decades-long degradation of war-oriented policy.
