Were the mods asleep during most of this thread? I don't understand how these people weren't banned long ago. There's a clear trend on various threads on this forum that when these specific people comment, civilized discussion goes out the window. THIS is what pushes people towards atheism. THIS is why the lovely Church of Satan exits; to balance the crazies that are high on judgmental holier-than-thou Jesus juice and act as a check when other religions get out of control. What the hell happened on this forum??

Well.. I was here beginning to end so yeah I agree with you. The mods have prejudice against some views (calling out pro lgbtq visitors to sign up- aka Love, while not monitoring Unregistered, anti-LGBTQ). And in fact, I think this is why a lot of the younger generation (I would say 3/4 of ex LC church kids) do become atheist or agnostic. This is a serious issue! And to deny their voices on this “Christian” forum is taking away more than half of the ex LCers church kids’ voices on this forum. Anyways, I would really like for my thread to get back on track to lgbtq issues. There were about 13-17 responses irrelevant to the topic at hand. Where were we? Oh yeah..The translation issue in some of the verses in the bible condemning homosexuality.
I’ve been doing a lot of ignoring lately to not feed into the negativity on here, but yes, ignoring tends to work. And taking breaks and deep breaths.
One more thing, I intended for this particular thread to be a space where ex LCers can share their experiences for being sexual minorities or knowing friends/family members who are LgBTq still in or out of the church. Lets continue on StG’s thread “Lessons Learned from LGBTQ” if we want to discuss with him regarding biblical or other religious interpretations related to LGBTQ.. He seems to be very interested with the LGBTQ haha
