Sample think you’re wrong
grammer no matter
I was a homophobe, and really, it was just the matter of me understanding, no one else changed my mind. At some point I just contemplated about this, and concluded that it’s all pointless, a clash of faiths that negate eachother. I am a Christian, but I believe in the words that everyone bears their own cross, go ahead, do what you want.

That is unfortunately the problem, only the person themselves can make a decision. But nudging someone in the right direction would help.
That’s… also kind of why we should stop this argument right now, because as you said, this is going to get nowhere. We’re humans and I am not a professional, but from what I can see we’re prone towards generalisation.

You certainly joined the opposition of Stock’s thesis by claiming they’re wrong.

wait, we’re detracting from the debate

Punish people all you want, but it makes them angrier.
Yeah homophobes deserve it, but if they have a gay person there for them, then there’s a good chance that they’ll reconsider. I tried to be that.
If you are homophobic I genuinely have no respect for you and owe you zero of my consideration
except I don’t hate them. They believe I’m a sinner, I should burn in hell, and should be saved. I just don’t want to be yelled at.
What? No shit. No one cares about that, but the general consensus is that some things are morally wrong. You gonna look at someone saying “I was assaulted by my ex, thats bad” and go “nuh uh, its bad TO YOU” you fucking dimwit?
What positive outcome comes from telling gay people they are sinners, they are strange and abnormal? Do you know how it feels to grow up religious AND LGBT? To pray to God every day to be different, to be fixed? Thats what homophobia does.
How about the damn solution is homophobic people aren’t hating on a group thats just… loving. Homophobia shouldn’t be normalized or allowed to be spread. An opinion is fine, but one born of hate will only cause more hate.
That is what you don’t understand.

In my eyes, everyone’s a person, and people can change for the better if they’re treated better.
The opinion is wrong, but you can’t iron it out fully with punishment. It’s a belief, not a behavior. The crime analogy doesn’t work, because throwing somebody away for robbing old women of their purses actually works.
It CAN prevent them from acting on it though, which is why I say that you’re not wrong.
Religion is a shit excuse always
The bible has been translated 100s of times through different groups all with different agendas and biases. Refer to why even most christian church denominations exist. The bible should never be a direct source of morality.
(Im not saying it has no value as a religious text, just that you should be thinking critically and forming your own moralities through that critical thinking)
