Have you even visited Tennessee? MineralMan Mar 2019 #7

And you "know" that they will fail? guillaumeb Mar 2019 #8

They already did. Act_of_Reparation Mar 2019 #12

I do know they'll fail. MineralMan Mar 2019 #13

And LGBTs have been paying the price for it ever since. marylandblue Mar 2019 #16

As they do in China as well? eom guillaumeb Mar 2019 #18

If so, they learnt it from Christian missionaries and Russian Communists marylandblue Mar 2019 #19

So before the 19th century China was Eden? guillaumeb Mar 2019 #20

Specifically, it was more tolerant of homosexuals marylandblue Mar 2019 #22

From the very beginning: guillaumeb Mar 2019 #28

I knew you would cherry pick the first thing you saw in the article marylandblue Mar 2019 #32

Christianity is over 2000 years old. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #34

Yes, of course. The prohibition on homosexuality came from the Hebrew Bible. marylandblue Mar 2019 #35

I looked at this site after your reponse. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #36

I don't think you can compare the mild and inconsistent disapproval in Eastern Religions marylandblue Mar 2019 #44

Way to dodge the point Lordquinton Mar 2019 #11

No, it is exactly the point. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #17

So China is writing laws in Tennessee to oppress LGBTQIA Lordquinton Mar 2019 #37

Yes, your reading of what I actually said is a bit fantastic. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #38

There has to be some reason you keep bringing China up Lordquinton Mar 2019 #39

And why do you think that I bring it up in my posts about China? guillaumeb Mar 2019 #40

I've stated many times Lordquinton Mar 2019 #41

Intolerance. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #42

That's the motte-and-bailey Lordquinton Mar 2019 #43

That's like a city block's worth of churches Lordquinton Mar 2019 #10

I just started my own religion. Act_of_Reparation Mar 2019 #14

That's awesome. Mariana Mar 2019 #9

No, I do not. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #21

Is China really non-theistic? Mariana Mar 2019 #24

Your last link validates the claim. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #27

So, back to the subject of your thread, Gil. Mariana Mar 2019 #29

That has nothing to do with the post. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #30

12% of Republicans disapprove of Trump edhopper Mar 2019 #15

I guess we should. Mariana Mar 2019 #23

Or view this 12% as peopel with whom we might find some common ground? eom guillaumeb Mar 2019 #31

Not as long as edhopper Mar 2019 #33

126 signed it, but in Tennessee that's a ridiculously small number Rob H. Mar 2019 #45

It's even a smaller minority than that. MineralMan Mar 2019 #46

Yep Rob H. Mar 2019 #47

There are quite a few megachurches in Tennessee, MineralMan Mar 2019 #48
