Calling someone an abomination for their "sexual sin" falls into the category of hate speech in the UK and several other western nations, including Canada. Fail.
Must you lie so often?
The preacher never once said abomination.
:doh
Whether or not he believes it is irrelevant. It's the speaking that matters here.Since he does believe it it is being arrested for speaking what he believes.
Don't be so sure. I mentioned this in a different post, but using the Interweb as a sample, and purely anecdotally, I think the current high school generation is incredibly intolerant of other peoples views.
Catz wants to burn the preacher, tongue in cheek, I think the younglings today literally want to burn the preacher.
What makes you think the preacher was afraid of homosexuals?Well, it's not insane, per se. A homosexual officer arresting a homophobe for running his mouth may be wrong, but it makes sense.
What makes you think the preacher was afraid of homosexuals?
Again, I bolded those words merely to illustrate that what the preacher said was Biblically accurate. Had nothing to do with my opinion on gay lifestyle.I could FEEL your happiness when you bolded "abomination."
I'm not you. I read your post. I just didn't find it all that interesting.
You belittle yourself.
Wasn't trying to convince you of anything except that your religious biasness has blinded you to the truth behind why this man was arrested. Had nothing to do with how he spoke, but rather what he said. Someone heard his commentary concerning homosexuals, didn't like what he heard, took offense to it, and arrested him using a law that really doesn't fit the situation at hand.I remain unconvinced by you.
Nope, but I'm sure the preacher does.Feeling persecuted again?
The preacher should have said love the homsexual but hate the sin he commits........

Then you're a religious bigot. For as I've stated time and time again, my point was akin to yours only you stopped at the religious point without giving the legality or merit of the preacher's arrest its due consideration.
You're just tic'd off because someone was able to show in the Bible where what the preacher said was true.
No one has made any assertions that gays and lesbians are going to Hell for being who they are. I and the preacher merely pointed to versus of scripture in the Bible where it clearly states that such act - homosexuality - is a sin against God. Nothing more.

Ah - a designer defintion.The dictionary says it's "a fear or contempt for". He could have had contempt. No one said fear was necessary for the term to apply.

Dear ****ing god. Battle of the damn dictionaries again. :roll:
I could have only 'skipped over' that 'second defintion' if said defintion were present in any of the cites I presented. That it was not defeats your point and reinforces mine.No you were not. Funny how you conveniently skip the second definition:
As I said - a designer definition, one not actually related ot the root of the word but intended to relate said root to those described by said word.And the definition of phobia on its own has little to do with the separate definition of the word "homophobe" other than sharing a root. That gives an impression of the definition but not the nuance of how it is used in modern language.
Not in the slightest.So no, you are still verifiably wrong.
If there's no fear, there's no phobia.Its because Goobie thinks that he the difference between "fear" and "contempt" is somehow a defense against a charge of homophobia. It's not.

Says he who ignores all the defintions - especially those from authoritative sorces - that he doesn't like and latches on to the one - the single one- he does.No, it does not. It simply means your knowledge of language is superficial and your definitions are opportunistic.
That's because I am not, as proven.Look, I didn't make you be wrong
You mean the -one- dictionary you cited?The dictionary just demonstrates that you are.
Not according to the -actual- defintion of phobia.Unless there is contempt or strong dislike. Then phobia is right back in play. :doh
