I miss the days when "gay" just meant being happy. How about we get upset that it lost its original meaning and now refers to a sexual orientation, making it very difficult to use in its original sense.

How come we get upseg about the word "gay" having two meanings?
Especially considering it actually has three... but nobody loses their minds over "gay" meaning "happy."

Based on the ideas in this post, no. They are all based on faulty premises and do not reflect reality.

Paper beats rock, rock beats scissors. Therefore, paper beats scissors? I'm gonna win every time now that I've found the secret logic...

The comic is a nice thought; I don't think it's meant to be doctrine. It's just a pick-me-up, of sorts. Don't read too much into it. I think it's only meant to show Jesus' love and sacrifice for us -- it's not meant to be a commentary on his power.

The point is, you can always find things to complain about, if that's what you want to do. What if God had caught the AIDS rock, as you say? First of all, you would have no idea that He had done it. Secondly, you would just point to something else that isn't perfect and ask why God allows that thing to be so. It's a complaint that will never end until you either obtain a perfect life or you change your attitude, like the guy in the image above did. You won't get the first, so you may as well do the latter. In the meantime the argument accomplishes nothing other than making you feel better about yourself.

No, it's not "just learning everyone is equal", it's learning what behaviors are okay and what are not. It's learning about the nature of reality. The way I see it, when you learn that something is true when it really isn't (e.g. either that racism is okay or that sex and gender is only arbitrary), you have been scarred. You have been disadvantaged.

It's okay, I literally made that exact same mistake on a paper a few weeks ago.

And if they're surrounded by homosexual behavior, they will think that's okay too. It's the exact same thing going both ways; please don't try to spin it. Learning by example is neither inherently good nor inherently bad.

I bet a lot of people who like this post would say that religious "indoctrination" (as they call it) provides a good example.
For an extreme example, look at Hitler. He wouldn't have known he was damaged, but he had developed extremely distorted perceptions (scars) that contributed to his dangerous and incorrect outlook.

But at least he caught the atomic holocaust one.
When you're done finding things to complain about, you're welcome to join the fun the rest of us as are having. :)

Someone might notice that you took the time to meticulously clean the blood off the grill, lights, license plate, and decal, though. Kinda weird.

I don't know that we should be equating "introvert" with "anti-social" or "isolationist". I'm an introvert, but I would go to the store almost for no reason other than to maybe find someone I know...

And the when you get to be 45 you may just realize anew that your parents really are right. It's an interesting cycle.

"...But I love you even more for what you could become." Don't forget the more important part. If you want to be accepted exactly as you are, Christianity is not the religion for you.
