C.S. LEWIS, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS

The Screwtape Letters is a great book, and more than a little amusing in the bargain.

Lordy, DC, how do you put up with these right wing Christians and their never ending self-serving flatulence and still remain a Christian? You have way more staying power than I.

But Peon they tell us they don't hate homosexuals at all. They insist that they love homosexuals, that they "love the sinner but hate the sin".

Of course refusing to serve perceived or genuine homosexuals is hating the sinner because the discriminator hasn't the foggiest idea of what sins they may or may not have committed. When they discriminate, all they have to go on is the evidence in front of their eyes which normally wouldn't include a vision into what goes on in that person's bedroom. It's all about the sinner - it can't be anything else.

But, where sinners and/or sin is involved, it's best not to take chances isn't it? Nothing wrong with erring on the side of safety is there? Just a shame that perceived or genuine gays aren't granted the same margin of graceerror. That would be erring on the side of compassion. And that would be so unChristian ......

Talk about asswipe...

No one in this story, including the pizza owner, made any sort of judgement based on the way someone looked. Their decision was based on what they were told. But that doesn't fit the nice little narrative you've got going does it, tweak?

When I wrote that post, I didn't have this particular case in mind but was speaking generally about typical cases of discrimination, as ought to be clear from the text itself which doesn't refer to any one case - rather it speaks about discrimination generally.

It's your mistaken assumption that I had this particular case in mind. So the asswipe, as you so charmingly chose to term it, is all yours. Own it.

So, you are really arguing that all Christians are horrible, even criminal homophobes, because some of them do not want to be a part of same sex wedding ceremonies... While at the same time, when someone points out that Islamists stone homosexuals, you call that person an Islamaphobe

?

What are you smoking? Your post (allegedly in response to my post) has nothing to do with the content of my post.

I said nothing about all Christians or Muslims. It ought to be obvious even to the wilfully blind such as yourself that my comments were directed against bigots hiding behind religion. Anything else is in your imagination.

No..Only as the role models they are. People as they should be according to "christianity". ....so put that in your pipe and smoke it

I wonder which one of you has donated money, or words like this woman did, supporting someone who wants to actively deny you civil legal rights.
