I find Jewish people are more than happy to discuss their shawls etc. what they mean, the markings on them etc. they will show them to you and let you handle them etc.
Why don't Mormons do that with the symbolic items of their faith...?

Lead? to what? You stated it could "lead" to pedophiles being a protected class. You claimed we should head that import because it would be a slippery slope if we allowed committed homosexual relationships into fellowship and acceptance in the church pedophiles could soon follow as a protected class. I showed the evidence you utilized is erroneous first, and irrelevant second, in showing that it "leads" to that. What is wrong with you?

Some of us were banned when we weren't even posting there. If the forum will kick people out when they aren't even posting there (and therefore, not breaking any of the rules in any form whatsoever), what makes you think they won't ban you for capricious reasons while you're posting there?
Post there at your own risk.

My username lostindc was also banned when I was not posting. This feels like roughly a year ago. The username I made today was banned within 10 posts. It is very difficult for nemesis and other moderators to hear the dissenting viewpoint and realize they are incapable of defending their viewpoints. Instead it is easier to ban, hence why their board traffic is very low, of course they will produce skewed statistics again displaying a busy board. Nothing like dishonesty amongst apology.

Ok so lets not ever talk about it. The homosexual community gets their way and no one else has a say. That will set a great precident teaching other groups they just have to emotionally bully their critics into silence.

Try to have some self-awareness here. The moderators of MADD are the ones who are unwilling to give you a platform to spew your message. Are you suggesting the MADD moderators have joined the homosexual community and are trying to “emotionally bully” you into silence?
It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.

What is wrong with you? You flipped that the wrong way. I said using the concept that homosexuality should be accepted because it is not a choice, rather an uncontrolled condition will lead to other behaviors using the same idea and that Greece has listed pedophilia as a protected class.
And the article's only mistake was if it would be used for benefits. While that might not be the case, eventually someone will say "well, you made it a disability, they should get disability protections".
Why make it a disability at all?

Sure, you can talk about it. Say whatever you want. Say they're breaking the laws of god. But comparing them to child rapists is highly offensive and unfair.

The article says nothing about protected classes. It is not support for anything your arguing.
Also, no one is as dense as your "no choice" lack of sophistication toward the issue. Whether it is a choice or not the issue is does it harm others or the parties participating - pedophilia clearly does harm to the children, clearly. Happy and fulfilling same sex relationships clearly do not.
You have shown in no way what so ever any evidence for your prejudice. What is wrong with you?

Wow, your reading comprehension skills suck. I am no longer interested in responding since you can't even begin to actually read what I said or comprehend it.

What you wrote is very simple to clearly understand. It is bigoted. It also is your responsibility to clarify. You have been corrected on so many levels with your position it is baffling you can't reflect on it.

If you remember, it was Wade that made that comparison. I at no time said "homosexuality equals pedophilia".
I also don't think Weed is the most dangerous drug out there, but I would always be concerned about gateway action to larger drugs.
