Sub can't post for whatever reason, so he asked me to post the following on his behalf:
I'm sorry, but this really bothers me, almost more than people who don't want homosexuals to get married.
First of all, it gives credit to Heron's argument that homosexuality is something to be ashamed of. If there is a God, I refuse to believe that it would be below "God's standards" for homosexual people to get married. If you want to argue against Heron, don't do it in a way that will allow his disgusting homophobia to continue, probably flourish.
Ignoring Heron, I have a hard time believing that religious people actually believe this. If you are to love your neighbor and love yourself, as God wants, then how can you believe in your heart that you are flawed, that you were created evil? One bad decision does not make you an evil person. Twenty bad decisions do not make you an evil person.
Religion has this twisted way of getting people to think that something is wrong with them, that only religion can fix what they claim is broken. If it seems like I'm coming off as hostile, that's because that entire line of reasoning is ******* hostile.

Also, as an aside, Skyrider, we need to talk. Everyone else, don't read this, this is between me and Sky.
Sky: You broke my (Sub's) account. I spent like 20 minutes typing out a reply to Raeku. It was a ******* beautiful post. It was like the ******* Mona Lisa of forum posts. I hit the submit button. It tells me I have to log in to post, even though I'm already logged in. I hit the back button, my post is gone. This post that you just read? It's ****. It's garbage compared to what I had. I don't even know what the **** I wrote the first time, I don't remember. We lost a ******* masterpiece because of your incompetence, Sky. What the ****. God dammit Sky. God dammit.
