“Truth may be difficult to hear” sometimes, but utter bullshit is equally difficult to hear and an utter waste of time.

Anyway using the bible as a justification for anything, has a very weak argument indeed. Might as well use Mother Goose’s Big Book of Nursery Rhymes.

How can Israel remain with this homophobic, RACIST – Yes, Israel, RACIST so-called religion? How come you were allowed to become a Mormon or have not been thrown out because of the colour of YOUR skin?
Truth and Faith are Incompatible. Truth is just that: Something which can be PROVEN to be True, Factual.
The Truth plays no part in Religion for there are no proofs whatsoever their is a Jahweh/Allah/God – (Those three names are for the same entity. There is no proof whatsoever that there is such a being.
Israel, if you are Not homophobic then you can’t honestly be a member of one of the most homophobic religious businesses in the world.
How do I know? Well once some years ago before I gave away the whole concept of believing in God/Yahweh/Allah I studied with Mormon Missionaries. They were homophobic then – never mind that I got into one of their missionaries pants (initiated by him) a few times, he was very good at SEX! – and they are still Homophobic. Ergo, Israel, you ARE Homophobic.

A “mystery” person asked a question and instead of a generic answer,he comes out with the first thing on his mind.Just happens to be homosexuals.I wonder why?Methinks he doth protest too much.

The issue occurs when the words ‘believe’ and ‘truth’ are used in the same sentence. Beliefs are not facts, period. They are oil and water, and should be taken as a theory rather than passed off as fact until empirically proven otherwise.

The Mormon church has a lot to apologise for. In addition to being homophobic to this day, as recently as the late 1970’s they used biblical passages (like Folau does now) to justify slavery and forbid black people from participating in the church, with the widespread understanding that black people were not permitted to get to heaven.

Then in 1978 they claim God changed his mind and black people were okay after all.

The Mormon church has a history of outrageous discrimination and hatred towards many minorities, not just gay people. Folau can wave their flag, but all I see is a classic ‘Uncle Tom’ character waving the flag for white hetero privilege. If that’s considered a racist sentiment (actually yes it is racist, I’m playing devil’s advocate here pardon the pun) then so be it, but it’s in response to Folau claiming he’s not homophobic so if he’s not homophobic I’m not being racist.
