It is funny when people make comments about beliefs and viewpoints they clearly know little about. A clear understanding of the Catholic Church's position makes your joke rather weak, inaccurate and silly.It's funny when a celibate man says gays are a threat to the future because they don't reproduce.

There is nothing wrong with accepting the use of 'homophobic' and 'bigot' when they are applicable. You have every right to view homosexuality as a sin if that is what you believe. I have every right to call that view homophobic. Freedom of speech and all that.There is nothing wrong with accepting homosexuality as a sin. It's also immature to sling around words like "homophobic" and "bigot."

And I have every right to point out the pseudo-psychoanalytic, slightly sinister attempt to diagnosis one's opponent implied by the term 'homophobia'.There is nothing wrong with accepting the use of 'homophobic' and 'bigot' when they are applicable.

The young wannabe philosopher chimes in to tell us about how wrong it is to be called a homophobe.
Interesting how you constructed a moderately passable sentence to describe what has been said in this thread. You've been practicing haven't you Hatuey. Sooner or later you may well be able to post an argument of your own.
Of course you do. I'm not the one here trying to impose martial law on acceptable and unacceptable opinions. You can say whatever hate-driven, fundamentalist religious claptrap comes so easily to mind. Free speech and all that.And I have every right to point out the pseudo-psychoanalytic, slightly sinister attempt to diagnosis one's opponent implied by the term 'homophobia'.
Oh, you cut me with your words Hatuey. How will I survive being insulted by a drooling stoner incapable of constructing either a decent argument or an insult with a modicum of wit, I don't know. All I'll be able to say is at least he didn't praise me, then I'd be really screwed.Is it my fault your sophistry doesn't really deserve a counter argument? Half the time you're rambling about people your teachers tell you about, the other half you're just rambling incoherently. :shrug:
I find fundamentalism far better than ideology, the former is at least concerned with what matters in life, the latter is just the science of idiocy. The term homophobia fits this science so well, no wonder its students and its scholars (our Hatuey has a doctorate of this science; there was a final exam in driving stoned with children I hear) love it.Of course you do.

Fundamentalism IS an ideology, or hadn't you noticed? It's pretty much the set of ideas (ideology, geddit?) that drives the political and social policies of all sorts of regimes and politicians: the Supreme Leader of the Iranian state, the Pope, Rick Santorum. That list is not exhaustive, btw.I find fundamentalism far better than ideology, the former is at least concerned with what matters in life, the latter is just the science of idiocy.

So anyone who has political and social policies is an ideologue? Or just a random and large slice of them?Fundamentalism IS an ideology, or hadn't you noticed?

Yes, and no. This is becoming tedious. From the OED:So anyone who has political and social policies is an ideologue?
What about those who diagnose their opponents? Is this the mark of an ideologue?
ideology (ideol|ogy)
Pronunciation: /ˌʌɪdɪˈɒlədʒi, ɪd-/
noun
*1 (plural ideologies) a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy: the ideology of republicanism

ideologue (ideo|logue)
Pronunciation: /ˈʌɪdɪəlɒg, ˈɪd-/
noun
*an adherent of an ideology, especially one who is uncompromising and dogmatic: a right-wing ideologue
Basing your views of people based on fundamentalist religious views, in my opinion, is extreme and irrational. Nothing to do with psychoanalysis, a branch of psychology that has had its own problems with regard to homophobia too.homophobia (homo|pho¦bia)
Pronunciation: /ˌhɒməˈfəʊbɪə, ˌhəʊmə-/
noun
[mass noun]
*
an extreme and irrational aversion to homosexuality and homosexual people.
The term means nothing more or less than the definition I posted.The point is the term homophobia, obviously. It is consciously named so as to imply some sort of disorder in one's opponent. It is pseudo-analytical and sinister.
In your opinion.The Pope is not a fundamentalist, anyway. Not in any meaningful use of the term.
Etymology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe term means nothing more or less than the definition I posted.
No, the term fundamentalist is not easily applied to Roman Catholicism. Traditionalist is usually a better term for the more anti-modern elements of Catholicism.In your opinion.

How often do you try and diagnose your friends and relations?Opponent?
it is not a a matter of pugilism.

Have you tried to have them sectioned yet?I know the one's that are homophobic if that is what you are asking.

Better according to your ideology.No, the term fundamentalist is not easily applied to Roman Catholicism. Traditionalist is usually a better term for the more anti-modern elements of Catholicism.
I fear that some posters believe that it is.Opponent?
it is not a a matter of pugilism.

See bold, plus I do not have to accept how a word has changed it meaning, particularly such an ideological and silly neologism as 'homophobia'.etymology (ety¦mol|ogy)

No. These are vague terms, but fundamentalism is a reaction to modernism which adapts many of its aspects, it is very narrow, literal and concerned with rather rigid fundamentals. The Pope, as an Augustinian, probably has less of a narrow, literal, fundamentalist way of thinking than Dawkins or Dennett or Stephen Fry or perhaps your good self.Better according to your ideology.
