I consider myself to be quite an extreme atheist but
I cant stand homosexuality. Period. I was born in China and never knew the existence of religion until I was in high school. And hearing the arguments for and against religion it was quite clear to me that religion is a joke. I honestly thought back then that Noah's Ark was like the story of Santa, I still think so today. After watching videos of "TheThinkingAtheist" and reading some papers, I became quite an extreme atheist BUT I cant stand homosexuals. And I want to know why many of you are for homosexuality. My religious friends support it because of the bible, but I see it has nothing to do with religion, to me, homosexuality is simply...disguesting The sad part is, I hate homosexuality for the same reason why I hate religion: the effect it has on the helpless young. Religious parents at times teach their children and force them into the same belief, this has been talked many times and we all know. Homosexuality affects the young as well. Not having the love and care of a father or mother is greatly detrimental to the young, which again, is innocent and do not have a choice in this matter. It is the most frustrating when religious people think I am also religious due to my view on homosexuality but in reality I am an atheist, and I am confused on what to do..
Edit: I am currently homophobic cause the reason for it far outweigh the arguments against. Research and study that has shown Gay related immune deficiency are a good part of the reason why the bullies did what they did. No one wants HIV and AIDS to spread, one of many reasons why I was homophobic. I came to see reasoning and some proper arguements but most of which was just insults and logical fallacies, though I do appreciate a few quality posts that did have some good points. I will look elsewhere for futher data, have a good day :)

I am hateful toward the homosexual parents. A bit more info: When a whole group of children decide to form together and reach a consenus to bully the same child, there has to be a good reason behind their actions. Back then I couldnt even save my friend, maybe I can stand up to 1 or 2 bullies, but not 10+, I lost a precious friend and for a whole month I can do nothing but watch him suffer. I thought to myself "1 bully might be a jerk, but 10+? , what did the kid do to deserve this?" Then I found out it was his parents when I reported to the teacher, and the fact that an adult choose to side with the children too fully convinced me it was the fault of the kid's homo parents. I made this post in hopes of ways to convince me otherwise, but all I got so far was mostly insults, which only futher convinced me against homosexuality.

[ Dude, really "I'm a bigot who is also an atheist" is all you should have typed.
The only difference between you and the religious bigots is you don't have an imaginary friend to blame it on.

Most Ironic post of the year... Here I am backing my arguments with reasoning, if you disagree then provide your counter arguments and support them. Instead you chose to throw an insult at me, now whos the one intolerant of other people's opinions?

I will teach my children rape, murder, and homosexuality are wrong until someone proves to me that homosexuality, unlike murder and rape, is not a wrongful behavior that harms others. Just because you are not affected, doesnt mean others arent.

First of all, saying I might be gay is similar to debating a Christian and him/her saying "there are no atheists, you just hasnt recieved the blessings etc". And about the citation, the effect of 2 parents of the same gender does not belong to this sub, but from personal experience I had a friend who had homosexual parents and was bullied by others, worst of all, on purpose or not, the teachers did minimal to help. Finally, I didnt make this post to say "We should hate on homosexuals" but rather express my troubles since I need others to convince me to accept homosexuality as I want to fit in with you all, calling me disguesting serves no purpose.

The parents will love their children the same way hetero parents would, but what about others? After a teachers conference, a friend of mine who had homo parents (that loved their child) was bullied each day into deep depression and I never saw him again (I assume the moved to another school)



Cussing at me here isnt going to save the kid from bullying and everything happens for a reason. Look at the root cause, would there be homophobia without homosexuality? His parents made the decision and the innocent kid suffered for HIS PARENTS decision. Bullying is never right, but that does not excuse his parents.
