You made the topic title, a title, which, BTW, was not only not in the ballpark, it wasn't even the same sport. There is no "in essence" here. Your headline was diametrically opposite of reality.

On the Relevancy of The Institutionalization of Sin
by Perry inchild murder, sodomy & corrupting the human genome are not new sins, they are old ones.
what is new is their institutionalization.
but even that isn't totally new.

DJS is spot on. It is a case of privilege perceived as right. Christians have held sway for so long, they perceive their privilege of holding sway to be a natural born right when it is indeed no such thing at all. It's simply not having known another way or situation and the idea of not holding sway, when they have done so for so long with such horrific results, is abominable and horrifying.
My answer to that is... too f'ing bad.

God loves Gay, Lesbian, and Transgendered People

Go ahead and explain the meaning of Hebrews 8:13, I'll be waiting right here.
It means the covenant making Israel a chosen nation was null and void. It says nothing about the Law. Gays were still considered icky. Try reading what the Bible says, not what you want it to say.

But this post's title is correct: Jehovah loves gay, lesbian, and transgender people.
He loves all his children.On it's face, that is false. God killed millions and promises to kill billions. If you consider that love, you need serious help and to never be around anyone, ever.

How do you know the Bible is anti-gay if you didn't read my argument to the contrary?
Typical hubris. JD can't possibly know unless he reads your argument, even though you just tried to play the humility card.

Romans 3:22-23
Right out of the gate, you cherry pick a scripture, quote it out of context and try to change it's meaning to fit your agenda, basically lying about what it says.
Typical Christian, lying about what the scriptures say when it suits your purpose.

Richard Dawkins talking about a Creator
by FusionTheism inrichard dawkins admitted that information inside of dna, and the origin of life on earth, might point to intelligent designers, perhaps extraterrestrials.
(see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boncjbrrdq8 )richard dawkins further admitted, in a debate with francis collins for time magazine, that science might point to a creator existing, but that this creator might not be anything like yahweh:.
time: "could the answer be god?

It is when anyone promotes their opinions and when those opinions are based on contraventions of naive physics and promoted as scientific truth rather than theory and for which there is no/ or insufficient evidence (Dawkins on religion and memes for example) then i have a problem with it.
When you see someone besides yourself do that, let me know. I know I've never done that and I've never seen Cofty do it. You, however, do it rather often. As in the post complaining about you, you appear to have little understanding of the terms you use, a "naive" understanding, so to speak.
I'd agree more with Scott Atran and others that there is an analogous likeness between genes and memes but would not say that memes are like genes as literally as Dawkins and Blackmore do which is that memes are fixed on their own survival. I also maintain that it is this mistaken idea, propagated by Dawkins and Blackmore amongst others that fuels the frenetic militancy of militant atheists in that they (militant atheists) are gripped in the thrall of fighting unseen hordes that are bent on their own survival.Your very own "attack the idea not the person fits this description". If you did just that it would be fine - but you seldom separate the idea from the person (I don't think it is even possible to do so).
This is an excellent example of unconnected rambling.

Why Ravi Zacharias Never Became A Jehovah's Witness (Pre 1975 End Times Preaching). Famous Christian Apologist.
by skepticSam ini was shocked to learn dr. zacharias studied with the jws and why he never became a jw, it was the jws incompetence that lead to dr. zacharias leading a different path in life.
he's one of the best speakers and logicians in my opinion, he's got two phds and works with extraordinary men and women willing to speak at any university or mormon temple because the word he uses is based off the word.
how come the governing body are afraid to attend q/as at yale, cambridge, oxford, ucla, harvard, rutgers ect..??

Ravi often takes liberties with reality. While he has quite a powerful speaking style, his logic is a joke and he often distorts texts and passages to his desire for a specific meaning.
He's an average Christian apologist using bad logic, out of context quotes and distorting reality to emotionally manipulate his audience. He just happens to be an excellent orator as well.

The Bible is NOT Error-Free
by FusionTheism infor many christians, the bible is viewed as the 100% error-free, perfect book straight from god, where every single word was carefully chosen by god for a reason.
but, usually, when you have a discussion on the topic, these christians will end up saying that only the original copies written directly from the hands of the prophets and apostles were error-free, and all manuscript copies since then are subject to copyist mistakes and other errors.. since zero original copies are in existence, how do we know the originals were error-free?
why should we think the originals should be error-free to begin with?

You cut and and paste after learning something new from me. Learn to think correctly.
Right. You can't prove that you aren't currently in a long distance relationship with a sheep you met online, so we can conclude that you are, using your logic.
I look at a black man in the eyes and he can see in my eyes and face that I am looking at another man same as me. But I notice that when many other white men talk to black men the sincerity is not there.
Way to judge people without knowing anything. But then, that is the Christian way.
There truly is no racism in the JW.
Absolutely there is.
