• Evangelists are very fond of “love the sinner, hate the sin”. They have convinced themselves that open discrimination is “for their own good.”

      And yet, if god were real, and if god truly loved lgbtq, wouldn’t he maybe say something to his assholish followers? Like, I dunno. If I had a friend and some of my employees started mocking them, discriminating against them and generally being assholes, I’d fire their ass immediately.

      We don’t see that. Either god’s not real, god’s impotent, or he hates lgbtq. I’m gonna fall into the first two- he’s impotent because he’s not real.

      Even disregarding all of this, if I put myself for a short minute in the shoes of a religious person, I’m sure I could rationalize this by saying: “well, imagine a father who has an alcoholic son”, and so on. Of course there are plenty of things you could say to that, but by then you’re on the third comment down, and no one is going to read it.
