"Religious Conservatives Lash Out at Kellogg’s Over 'Anti-Christian' Cereal"

[Darkforbid]

Is this even supposed to make grammatical sense?

No,,

 

[Jainarayan]

Wow, is misrepresenting like a gay thing?

Go back and read what you wrote, and your intentions behind writing it. Even better yet, reword it because you sure as hell made it sound like gang rape is the gay way.

 

[lewisnotmiller]

Really?
You found "gay is best" before "hell bound sinners"?

"Equal rights is best" I could believe. Or "Gay is best for me"
But not a simple "Gay is best", period. I just don't believe that came from anybody important enough to rank highly on Google.

Sorry, I misunderstood your meaning. Most of what I found were a series of GLAAD official pages and links, and a few stories about studies GLAAD had either commissioned or commented on.

So, not anti-gay sites at all.

But no, not sites promoting gay as 'better' than non-gay. Indeed, I wouldn't make the assertion that 'gay is best' sites would readily come up. I merely thought you meant pro vs anti.

 

[lewisnotmiller]

Because any psychologist will tell you blaming an outside source is a fundamental attribution error

That is completely incorrect.
Fundamental Attribution Error refers to a tendency for people to under emphasize situational considerations when assessing behaviour, and over emphasize internal/personal factors.

It is, quite simply, the OPPOSITE of what you're asserting.

Iam hoping you're just using the term ignorantly, and not deliberately misrepresenting it.

No I didn't you said 'harms no one' and I stated a incident where clear harm had been done, so you've gone from blatant misrepresentation to clearly lying

 

[Jose Fly]

How is saying it's seen as a sin in my religion vilification of all Gays?

I think the point is, if you believe being gay is a sin, then you shouldn't be gay.

However, you should also understand that no one else is obligated to live according to your religious beliefs.

 

[Jainarayan]

No I didn't you said 'harms no one' and I stated a incident where clear harm had been done, so you've gone from blatant misrepresentation to clearly lying

You're applying that one incident to a whole demographic. What part are you not getting?

Hey, I'm not a psychologist so I could be very wrong,,

One incident? What makes you think that

Your own words. And what I said is very true -- you are using the single incident that you mentioned to tar all gay men at once, while I can assure you, all gay men were not in your stupid park at the time -- so that's sort of an iron-clad alibi. And you know quite well that what I said is also true -- that you refuse to use that same brush to tar all hetero men with the heinous deeds of only some hetero men, because ---- well, because it doesn't suit your purpose.

You have made yourself quite clear, and so I think that I'll take myself out of conversation with you -- as a favour to you. Must be horrible for you to have this sort of intercourse with a gay man.

 

[Laika]

And football, basketball, baseball, the Olympics and hockey have exactly what to do with pouring milk on a wheat based product?

Moreover, if you think all being gay is, is “doing it up the *** and touching themselves and each other” I think we know where the problem lies. And it’s not with being gay.

Would you be kind enough to elaborate on that statement? I'd like to give you the opportunity to fully explain it's meaning.

I think the point is, if you believe being gay is a sin, then you shouldn't be gay.

I had a post moderated yesterday where I said 'What would make you think the rules of my religion apply to non-members' only using much stronger terms

 

[Jainarayan]

Would you be kind enough to elaborate on that statement? I'd like to give you the opportunity to fully explain it's meaning.

If all you can see in being gay is "buttsecks" and mutual masturbation, were I you, I'd re-examine my view of things and why that is the first thing that springs to mind about homosexuality.

Wow, like one news story about a femail shoplifter means all women are shoplifters

So you do understand that no one outside your religion is obligated to abide by its rules and beliefs?

 

[Darkforbid]

The only person applying anything to a whole demographic is you

 

[Jainarayan]

Explain.

 

[Darkforbid]

Obviously

 

[Darkforbid]

Explain.

I did I posted a screenshot of my original comment

 

[Jose Fly]

Obviously

So why are you in this thread?

 

[Laika]

I apologise for making the remark in such a crude way. I was trying to make the point that this kind of advertising explicitly contained a political or sexual message that may not be appropriate to the setting, and that same-sex relationships cannot be treated in isolation from the sexual activity itself.

I want to be clear however, that I find it deeply concerning over the number of people in this thread who have taken the form of packaging of a cereal box at face value as a sincere (or at least valid and legitimate) expression of the commitment to LGBT rights. I think people deserve and should demand more than that if they really want to advance that cause, even if they believe it is a good place to start.

I hope that is fair.
