you are right Tony. imajulianutter obviously turns a compliment into abuse. A little moronic actually!

'our statement about adultery and fornication being wrong is only your opinion,'

It is the opinion that actually made the Western nations great. It is your moral relativity opinion that has led to us having a totally self obessed society bound by lust, greed and self centredness. The results ironicly have led to fatherless kids, upsurge in drug abuse , welfare states and a porn saturated media.

Dear runner,

Whatever happens that is not to your liking can always be blamed on others not conforming to your prejudices. That way one can avoid attacking real problems.

Tony,

yes you missed someting. My original post.

It was about correcting the author of this article on his assessment of the ending of the QandA programme.

Nowwhere did I express any opinion of my own on the content of that program... so it was extremely stupid or moronic of runner to extrapolate from that post any suggestion that I was at all homophobic.

I have great doubt that runner would have seen my assessment of that program as right and if he is homophobic ... well it's an attitude I don't have.

But he may well think the author was re-writing events.

So really he had no reason to call me homophobic. Clearer now? An apology or explanation, similar to yours, from runner would clearly correct the situation ... wouldn't it.

imajulianutter,

you just don't seem to get it. Did you not either look at the quote marks around the word homophobic. I agreed entirely with your post but was making the point that people will label you homophobic no matter how well you lay out your case as you did. Its a pity you then lowered your effort so poorly in failing to see what even some of my usual adversaries (people with diametrically opposed to my opinions) could see so clearly. If you took it that I call you homophobic I apologise. My intention as seen by others was not to do so.

Are you absolutley sure of that or is it your opinion.

btw if a man has an affair with Obamas wife is it fair for Obama to call that wrong or is it just his opinion?

Dear runner,

I don't know Obama, his wife or what is happening between them. However, I think what happens between them is their own business. There are family breakups. There is crime and a lot of social disorder. However, I think most crime and social disorder is a reflection of economic conditions and has little or nothing to do with whether people follow your childish religion.

The countries that have the highest standard of living and the smallest gap between rich and poor are the Scandinavian countries. A hundred years ago they had a high crime rate and a great amount of social disorder. Their religion has stayed much the same except for the fact that many people in their countries have abandoned religion altogether. I think the main factor in putting those countries at the top of the list when it comes to a low rate of corruption, crime and social disorder is that people find it easier to be nice to each other and behave decently when they are economically secure. I don't think their abandonment of religion is the cause of their security and good behaviour. I think it is merely a reflection of the fact that they feel less need for such nonsense.
