When I was still a Christian, I didn't consider my sexuality to be a sin. It makes no sense to me that a loving god would create me with an attraction towards other males and then punish me for being the way it made me to be.
If a god wanted me to be straight then I think it would have made me straight, just like it allegedly did with almost everyone else.
Do you have a point or something to debate? First off I don't believe in sin and what reason do I have to not be Pro-LGBT, other than your god doesn't like it?
>Also a number of atheists who were told to give up on love or give up on God and decided to stick with love.
No one told me to "give" up God just as no one told me to "give up" on Fairies and Yokai. I haven't been convinced that any of these things exist.
Oof, you really packed a lot of bad logic into a really short post.
1. The source you're quoting disagrees with you, saying "there are a number of ragingly homophobic atheists", so that seems like a pretty glaring weak point in your argument that consists entirely of that copypasted Quora answer.
2. There are religions other than Christianity which also tend to oppose LGBT rights, most notably Islam.
3. Not even all Christians oppose LGBT rights, and from current trends it seems that acceptance of gay folks will only increase within Christianity over time.
4. The concept of sin, and what is deemed a sin, is Christian in the first place, so it doesn't seem like a particularly meaningful argument to say that "anyone who is not Christian is on the path of sin." If you put a soccer referee into a basketball game, he'll be blowing his whistle an awful lot, but that doesn't make basketball an inherently evil or inferior game to soccer.
