    If their core consumer base is dependent on them donating to anti-gay organizations then maybe they should abandon that base anyway. Definitely not a base that will sustain them long term seeing that that group is slowly dying off.

    It was not meant to be more subtle than you saying gay people are allied with pedophiles.

    Like I said, the vast majority denounced them in the 80’s, during these periods gay people were being murdered, tortured and arrested so they probably had other things to worry about than monitoring who was participating in various marches around the country.

    At least it is not still going on like is happening in the church in 2019 — they are still suing to protect pedophiles in their ranks.

    That is a valid argument, but I think the Christian base was far more likely to sustain them in against new targeted competition than those who are concerned enough about Christians embracing the gay political agenda to stop buying CFA.

    We should know who is right within a few months.

    In fact, as you admit, gay people were foolish enough to align themselves with pedophiles.
    My criticism of that tactic was aimed at those fools - not you personally. IMO, you are right to oppose self destructive militant gay tactics.

    I took your apparently inadvertent personal attack personally, but I generally agree with your take on many issues and always look forward to reading your copy here and would never report what I assume was a slip.

    Gay political agenda, you mean the agenda not to be discriminated against? So the Christian agenda is to only support businesses to that donate to charities that exclude homeless children and athletes because of their orientation? Thats sad.

    Yes we will

    Gay people are not pedophiles, they do not support pedophiles, and any accusations of such you can usually expect a response based in anger instead of rational debate.

    It is the easiest way to go from being taken seriously to being classified as a bigot or troll.
    I can handle being disagreed with, that I am not deserving of marriage, or being allowed to adopt, or being allowed to purchase a baked good; I can even handle being told I am going to burn in hell — but insinuating that gay people support child rape is disgusting and not worthy of a dignified response.

    My understanding is that the AMA is trying to get it banned, not just saying that it's not a recognised treatment.

    Zero bigots are here, that would be against forum rules.

    I have not seen that but if you have a source I would love to read their reasoning.
    I am pretty sure they are just trying to ban it as a medical treatment as it causes permanent harm and significant increases in depression and suicidal tendency. As a general practice — done by churches and the sort — I don’t think they are involved. I could be wrong though.

    Quote me where I said they were. Go ahead. If you are going to make things up do a better job than that mmkay?

    Because the examples I gave are considered heroes or leaders within the gay community. Are you just being cute here or did you actually not understand thats why I chose them?

    Some are yes as are some heterosexuals.

    I've posted a mountain of evidence on that as well if you need it linked again.

    Are you seriously pretending there are no homosexual pedophiles?

    Bare in mind I have already posted studies citing both homosexual and heterosexual pedophiles as labels before you dig that hole any further.

    LOL If that were true you could give me some examples from any gay leader or gay publication denouncing it as I gave you of them praising sick men within the gay community who are prominent or celebrated leaders that have had sex with children.

    But you can't.

    And that's the reality of your position.

    Not to mention the children in drag praised by the gay community stripping in gay bars while gay men threw money at them. Do you need those links again from gay publications praising that as well?



    Your entire argument is to fabricate a claim I never made claiming all homosexuals are pedophiles. That way you can ignore the evidence I present and the examples I give you without you ever having to answer them.

    Then prove it.

    Go ahead. Cite your evidence. We both know you can't and that's why you never have.

    But I'm giving you a chance right now. Post your evidence all or most evangelicals want gays to have zero rights.

    Time to pay the piper. :)

    Why would a gay publication take a stance against child sex unless there was a connection?

    Yes, I'm sure that you've found LOTS of biased, left wing information.

    Would these figures be based on the fiscal year? Given that the boycotts began in July 2012, this was during the 2011/12 fiscal year. Although, if it was fiscal year, you'd expect the graph not to have singular years.

    From your source, “Techniques can range from counseling to conversion techniques like electroshock, chemical or deprivation treatments.” These types of therapy are labeled as torture and should rightly be banned.

    I have no issues with adults wanting to seek therapy or counseling but do not support torture.

    For the same reason pedophilia has been brought up in a thread about chicken.

    No, most of my family that loves CFA will go regardless, we went last Saturday when I was down visiting them actually. This was brought up momentarily but not discussed at length.

    The people I knew that were not going were friends and employees plus a few old classmates.
    Several of them have been since the policy change.
