    So what religion are you? If you are christian then you are not supposed to hide your light under a bushel?

    It would be logical to be critical of law that creates harm , you might be slow to be critical if you personally support the harm being not corrected.

    Absolam doesn't really do answers, mostly he does questions. I wouldn't bother pursuing it to be honest.

    I asked you how relevant it is, remember? So far it seems not at all from what you've said, but if it helps I don't own a bushel.

    You might also be slow to be critical if you wanted to acquaint yourself with the facts, or you were aware that a habit of leaping to conclusions had lead to some rather glaring errors. All told there are probably more than a few reasons you might be slow to be critical don't you think? Being a Christian might not even make it into the top five I suspect....

    So you are not Christian as you have denied Christ otherwise , I'll leave that one there

    And you make no value judgement between democracies that allow minorities to be persecuted and those that don't. Ok you are entitled to that view

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    I can't recall saying either, so I have to say it looks like you are again jumping to conclusions.

    Which does rather neatly return us to your original assertion, that failing to condemn is the same as condoning. After ten pages, have you managed to come up with a justification for it?

    This thread stopped being funny some pages ago, can a mod move the discussion posts to their own thread

    Worst thing about it, the discussion already has its own thread where, incidentally, the religionistas have already been pwned by logic.
