Do you happen to know one? Or any website meant for debate of any sort? I very much enjoy intelligent debate, and when I can't find that, I deal with whatever I can get (FML usually).

What if I'm not a Christian?

What you're saying is all true; however, I myself am extremely against them. They are abomination s as stated in the Bible.

right, because a pastor or priest know much more about the brain than a scientist..... all the research is lies, its just a government sham, just like evolution, right? the only thing we can believe is the bible, which was sent to us directly by God and is meant not to be taken symbolically, but exactly word-for-word, and should be the law. also, we should all have sex with our siblings and cousins and have 22 kids with our sister and name them all Jeb. we should shoot children who trespass on our property and smoke cigars in the fields with our 22 kids. then we can kill all the minorities. i didnt think anyone could be more of a tool than feminist19, but you have dethroned her. congratulations.

Wouldn't a designer have a better sense of design than a police officer? Why don't you ask an actual homosexual if it's a choice? I know many people who in the years they suffered in the closet would've paid to to be straight.

"Them", as if they're scented markers or reality television shows. They're people, too, for christ's sake. You know, "Love thy neighbour"? Or does that part of the bible not interest you as much as the part that backs up the hatred you already have in your body for a minority?

@215 Then nobody cares we are talking about the Bible here and our religion.

"Our" religion? Is everyone on this thread a Christian? Maybe they've just studied the Bible. You don't know.

Here comes a minority-The Ignostics As an ignostic, I say that to assume everyone you talk to is the same religion as you means that things that are different than you're belief just don't make any sense so anyone smart enough to talk to you must believe it. This also means that you are insecure about your belief and henceforth need to brainwash yourself with religious dogma to convince yourself that you can just go to heaven when you die to comfort yourself.

Agnostic. Just for future reference. People will be more likely to take you seriously if you can spell your own belief system properly. I honestly mean no ill will with this.

Um, ignosticism exists. Look it up, silly.

Regreattably enough, you're going to need a lot of knives.

Why couldn't she just use one knife on multiple people? Sure it's a bit unsanitary, but if you're cutting out peoples' tongues, you're probably not too concerned with their well-being.

It's rather morbid, but... if one of them had HIV, and then you used the knife to cut out further tongues, then the rest would have a high probability of getting it as well. It would be almost poetic, in a sad kind of way, considering at least some of them have said in their lives "you got aids because you're a gay abomination" to or about someone in their lives.

Good point.

Jeez, and here I was thinking mild mouth infection at worst. Okay, what about a compromise: full sterilization of the knife between each tongue-cutting?

Agreed, we will sterilize the knife. I wouldn't -really- wish HIV on anyone, it was simply hypothetical poetic justice.

Of course. If it were to happen, the ironing would be delicious. But it wouldn't really help in the long run.

That was the cutest typo ever! :D You meant "irony" but you said ironing... and... I just pictured an orderly in the hospital with all these tongue-less HIV cases, and a pile of their laundry and sheets all needing ironing. :D

Oh no! Sorry to disappoint, but it was actually a rather obscure Simpsons reference, rather than a typo. I've been living with a friend and fellow Simpsons fan for almost 9 months, with many quotes being flung back and forth. It's hard to get that habit out of my head! Regardless, your mental picture made me laugh too.

Haha, that's neat. Simpsons are cool. I'm not too up on it myself, as my mother was nuts and didn't allow me to watch it as a child, so when I did it was in secret and very rare. :P

I find it amusing that the ironing will be DELICIOUS to people who have no tongues.

#276: Yeah, I never was really allowed to watch it for a while either. But as soon as I was, I pretty much caught up on everything I missed. #338: Well I meant it would be delicious to us, the supporters of homosexuality, who would in this hypothetical situation still have our tongues. Nonetheless, your thought is hilarious. It's like a double-layered cake of irony. (Mmmmmmm, double-layered cake of irony...)

Because it's the internet. People can let out opinions here that would get them skewered in real life.

Yeah, this thread should probably be closed soon....

I hope so. This got WAYYY out of hand.

It really did. I, unfortunately, do not have it in me to just leave arguments like this alone. I know they would stop if all of the defenders did nothing, but I just can't, and thus the fighting will continue until someone stops it. Unfortunately, there's no mod to close debates in real life... *sigh*
