That point of view is a con because all it does it scare people into believing something by using fear and nothing else, you shouldn't be proud of that. If you convince one person to accept the point of view that you keep talking about then it wasn't done out of compassion or sincerity on your part it was done by simply scaring someone into a belief.

What I believe in or reject is not only none of your business, it is not within your capacity to determine.
What I do believe in is what I've stated so far and I've not seen any legitimate rebuttal to aside from the religious kookiness aspect.
What people do in their own privacy with their own lives is between them and any God that exists. It is not between anyone else in this aspect. Anything else is fear based oppression.

I think you're questioning Chloe's faith... I think it's normal, especially for someone young, to question their beliefs. I wouldn't want someone to just blindly follow a religion because it is what they were told to do. I'm quite religious, but I went through a period of thinking I was an Atheist. I'd rather someone question it, try to understand it better, and come to their own conclusion versus just taking the word of their religious leader, family, etc.. If you believe in God, you should do so because you understand it, and because you feel it, (faith). Also, the "if" might have just been a polite way of accomodating to the fact that not everyone believes in the same things. I don't think it means as much as you're implying, (as I'm understanding your statement, anyways).

Most Christians believe that gay rights doom nations as well as pastor Fred Phelps does, despite his Westboro Baptist Church sparks controversy regarding writings in KJV Bible. Those who attempt to reject Leviticus 19:22, Romans 1:25-27,32, Jude 1:7, those people who attempt to love and justify sin. Christian double life ends up in Proverbs 14:12.
DO you have some data to support "Most Christians believe that gay rights doom nations"?
Given that you reject what Jesus said:
Matthew 10:14-15 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
I'd say, seriy, you're misreading the rest.
As we saw earlier, the following says nothing at all about homosexuality:
Jude 1:7: Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
But good luck now that you've aligned yourself with nutjobs like Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church.
And you need to stop asking him to be PC on his beliefs.But good luck now that you've aligned yourself with nutjobs like Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church.
PC? I asked him to stop rejecting the words of Jesus. Jesus ought to be the final word, no?
Matthew 10:14-15 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
