Ok ... Ok ... a little dramatic, BUT ... I dare say an honest response borne out of frustration to incessant trolling. And how many times have I said it? But awareness leads every conversation on Alt-Views to God-bashing, Bible-bashing, and Christian-bashing.*
But let me also ask. Is it a sin to reject the truths of the Bible? To smear God and Jesus as gays and tricksters? To give Christians the verbal "cold shoulder" at every opportunity?

I concur, although I wouldn't have said it quite like that perhaps. The "clobbering" thing, to me, is like pulling out the hate or race card - effective communication and everything comes to a screeching halt when those StrawMan cards are played, and people are then prone to respond in a defensive way - this tactic is childish in my book. (almost akin to name calling)
I haven't seen bashing of LGBTQ+ folks on this thread or the last one.
Just because many of us understand our Bibles to say that homosexuality is one of those off-the-mark things is not clobbering!
