we’re all out of popcorn now
Make some more then
gimme a minute, the machine’s warming up
may Sample have some popped corn?
(Sample will continue with the referring to Sample in 3rd person bit)
wait, we’re detracting from the debate
carry on fighting
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)

My homophobia comes from being born
Sorry guys I was born a terrible person
Quite funny how most religions are just trying to say “don’t be a poo head” and yet there are people who are hellbent that being a little bit different and out of the norm will cause you to burn for all of eternity after death because of some words in a book that were either taken out of context or just straight up never existed
I wouldn’t know if those words were made up because I never read the Bible and neither have they

And that’s just a perfect example that negates this:
Everyone hates. You can dress your words so they look beautiful, but deep down, everyone’s a rat that hates. And it’s okay, you need hate to have opinions, which sculpt your humanity.
I never said hatred, I just legit do not think its worth my time to associate with those kinds of people. Having no respect for someone is different than hating them in my eyes
Yeah, and there are some people that are more or less sensible
I actually met a Pastor once that claimed/viewed himself as not being religious while saying that religion is dangerous, partially pointing out/implying those hyper religious folk that don’t even know the words in their own book
When you see smth like this, and ppl then try to use that same religion as an excuse for hate? It really helps point out all the bs
please look up psychological projection and click on the wikipedia article i cant be bothered to put in the effort to post it for the 20th time thanks

I mean, I don’t really hate people for more than a week at a time or less, and I usually have a reason. This one guy socially tormented me for a year, and I still would have a friendly conversation with him if he didn’t try (and sometimes forget) to ignore me when I talk.
Sample thinks that cherry picking lines from the Bible is a problem when forming a moral compass

What pessimistic hole did you crawl out of?
I don’t hate. You know why? Because hate consumes. Realizing that, refusing hate, choosing to love and be kind, that’s what true humanity is.
You call everyone a rat, do you think us beneath you? Do you think you yourself, are so fueled by hate, that everyone is too? Because humans can be so beautiful, kind. My grandma, though old and unsure, doesn’t know what the LGBT is. She doesn’t agree, but she knows I’m me, and cares more for me being happy than her religious beliefs.
That is love, kindness and a sense of humanity overpowering any hate. Because she doesn’t believe it’s “right” to be gay, but that doesn’t matter to her. Because to her, she sees a good person. Even if I may not see myself as such, to her, she sees her perfect grandson.
To be homophobic is to give into a fear. A fear of a group that merely wants to love. Hate is formed by hate in this case. And, it doesn’t help that homophobia is a common source of hate crimes, and, as a result, the fear of being hurt causes hate towards those that hate you.
You claim everyone hates, and that may be true, but your words have been the most hateful. You claim to have shed your old skin of homophobia, but defend the opinion with a sense of “it’s human.”
Humanity is more than hate. We are beings that love, that laugh, cry, experience joy, sorrow, and so many things that are so uniquely us to live.
I hope you aren’t consumed by hate. I hope you don’t defend an opinion consumed by fear and distaste for the different.
I hope you grow. Be better.
