    You know people in the past have used religion to create their own cults, right?

    Not saying yours is a cult. But, proudly stating you are a Christian as if it excuses or qualifies takes and proves one isn't a bigot, racist or the like leads you down the path this thread is going.

    I made a statement that I'm a Christian, because, as far as I can tell, most of the board in here is not. I have strong convictions regarding abortion. That's a well-known fact in here. At least it should be. In terms of gays, I've clearly stated that I don't believe in gay marriage. The Bible is clear on that fact. In terms of any other gay rights, etc., I have no issues. In terms of our schools teaching sex education in our schools to our young kids, I don't care what the topic - hetero, gay, whatecer - I'm against it. In terms of trans topics, I'm all over this thread. Knock yourself out reading any of those comments, questions, concerns, or otherwise.

    A person's religious beliefs should not be used to limit or take away someone else's rights and freedoms.

    I'm interested in knowing where you and the church you worship at stands on this.

    I have read your posts, time and time again. I wholeheartedly disagree with a lot of what you say. But, you have to admit you bring on some of this on your own. If you don't, I don't know what to tell you.

    I know @PtldPlatypus is a christian and he doesn't get nearly the same amount of back and forths you do. I'm not saying he agrees with everything you stated here, but most everyone on this board has found him to be pleasant to talk to and conversate with.

    Why do you think there is such a contrast?

    Cats are soul stealers.

    I'm sure it will be lots of fun comes off as very sarcastic and perhaps judgmental of the event.

    There are kids who identify as queer. There should be resources for them right? The parade is also about awareness and open mindedness.

    Just be careful about letting them lay on your stomach while you sleep.

    But really, I have had cats who have slept on my chest. I'm pretty sure I still have a soul.

    That's an interesting way of saying we are good in the sack.

    Religion is a cult. There can be different sects of a cult.

    At my church, baptism is a personal choice. We don't baptise infants.

    Perhaps, because he keeps his convictions/feeling to himself(?)

    I'm more transparent than most.

    That's my question: What are queer resources? Never heard of them before.

    I'm a Christian and I adore cats.

    However, I will mention that there's a book called "Cat and Dog Theology" that does not paint our feline friends in the kindest light.

    I'd imagine

    Support groups

    Guides for parents

    Literature for youths so they can see they aren't alone.

    Links and numbers for foundations that are setup to help the the LBGTQ community.

    Lifelines

    Funding

    Rights

    Etc.
