Can't believe how quickly you want to take away someone else's belief system that differs from your own. He's not telling anyone they can't do something. He is not saying LGBTQ can't live their lives. But to feel like he has to openly support it is ridiculous. Who are you to decide what another person supports?

It was a tongue in cheek response to my sincere frustration about people relying on religion to do thinking for them. I am not in favor of actually abolishing religion, but I am sincerely frustrated by the low level of critical thinking people put into very complex societal topics by just saying "my book said it, therefore I believe it."
It's a real issue with genuine sociological and psychological consequence on LGBTQ people, and it deserves a deeper thought than relying on dogma to justify your position.
To be clear, I want to get rid of people using dogma to justify anything, not religion per se. They just seem to go together A LOT, but I understand that correlation isn't necessarily causation.
Happy?
