I am happy for the regressives to call me anti gay just because I don't support the lifestyle of those hanging around 'gay' bars. I suspect that most repsonsible parents would not want there kids hanging around there either. In the same way I would not want my kids hanging around many of the bars where people not practicing homosexuality hang out. The reality is that their are far more Christophobes on this planet today than homophobes. There one aim seems to be to demonise anyone that points out simple facts. Facts like the ideal environment for a child is for them to have a loving dad and mum. Pretty well main stream commonsense a few years ago. Now despised by Christophobes.

Runner,

It's not so much the actual man, Jesus Christ, that people are likely to have a "phobia" about - more likely his self-proclaimed Christian representatives who spout vile rants on behalf of the movement that evolved after Christ's death.

People like yourself, runner, who take every opportunity to spit venom and accuse people of "hatred" just because they disagree with you and your beliefs.

People like you,runner, who ponce around claiming "fact" when you are "in fact" describing "belief" and "faith".

People like you, runner, who represent the antithesis of what Christ was on about.

So, as far as this forum is concerned, it's more likely you'll meet a "runnerophobe" than a "Christophobe".

SM,

That comparison was disingenuous. Didn't Jones suggest she should be tied up in a chaff bag and thrown in the sea?

Let's cut to the chase.

Do you not believe that people who represent the modern version of the Republican Party court this kind of rabid fundamentalist Christianity?

You know they do - so why play games and deny it.

Even the illustrious Abbott who attempted to pull us rabid right, addressed a US fundy Christian organization after he got the boot.

It's what they do - they know there's some voter support in dancing to the far-right Christian tune.

Poirot,

I simply pointing out the absurdity of your "guilt" by association proposition, and am trying to nip your conspiracy theories in the bud.

Yes the republicans have a strong Christian base, but also the vast majority of christians would not tolerate the anti gay behaviour demonstrated by your examples, and any Republican "courting" these individuals would suffer a shortened career.

On the flip side, the vast majority of Muslims would see homosexuality criminalised, if not become a capital offense. I guess that you have been scouring the internet to find a gay friendly imam, but I doubt you will.

I like that Poirot although I am not vain enough to think I had that much power. And the excuse for your vile rants against many others that hold a contrary view to you? Oh that's right you use nasty sarcism usually after you have lost an arguement which is common for those with irrational regressive dogma. You obviously have no mirror.

Well SM, it seems at least one equally mad religious group in the US is keen on spreading their message of hate:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-06-16/funerals-for-orlando-victims-begin-in-the-face-of/7516826

"Almost four days after the attack on the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando the first funeral for a victim has taken place. As the investigation into the shooting continues, authorities have released a total of 35 bodies of the 49 dead to their families. Anti-gay hate group the Westboro Baptist Church is in Orlando and has threatened to protest the memorial services, prompting volunteers to turn out to form protective walls around funeral venues."

How sick is that?
Gate crashing gay people's funerals just so they can spread their message of hate to all the mourners.
Pathetic...
