Video shows men attacking religious protesters at Pridefest

[the_phoenix]

I personally thought it was funny. But then many liberals can’t take a joke.

I agree with you about ShanaA1984’s post noting the difference between “TREAD” and “THREAD” … appreciating the inspiration it gave me to write an on-topic post. Because really, isn’t the same thing this thread topic is about occurring here? People who in good conscience do not support Pridefest getting taken to task in an effort to chill religious objections?

But there are some who would like us to tread lightly in this thread.

Does the fact that “gay” activists actually do beat people up mean that so-called “homophobia” can be justified in this case?

Wow, defending the WBC. This is a new low. :dts:

I didn’t defend them. I said that they are bad but that the “gay” activist protesters are far worse ***since they get violent, they get naked, and they invade and disrupt the holy sacrifice of the Mass. ***

Do you think I am afraid of the WBC? That’s funny

Why should you be? They don’t attack people. Now the people at Pridefest…

Yes. Homophobia - fear of homo sapiens.

The people doing the beatings are not necessarily gay.

And I liked how Arnold Schwarzenegger once cleverly said, “I think gay marriage should be between a man and a woman”.

I don’t believe it is “worse”, but when gay activists do those things, it is certainly bad. Even so, they do not represent gay people across the board any more than the WBC represents Christians across the board.

When I look through the lens of how Satan operates, it becomes clear to me that the WBC is actually a much bigger threat to Christianity than a bunch of gay activists who parade around half naked in front of the Pope.

Did anyone here even say anything about which is worse for Christianity?

The OP is an article about people at a gaypridefest using violence against people who disagree with them.

Would this be a red herring?
Or maybe a green herring?

EDITED: If we’re going in the direction of which is worse for Christianity, then which is worse:
people at Pridefest attacking religious protestors
or
religious protestors not protesting for fear of being attacked by people at Pridefest
?

What? Now disagreeing with you is a hardening of my heart?

You have been lecturing me and others about what the Catholic Church teaches and where is what in the Bible as though we were clueless.

You should realize that you can, at times, come off as preachy and holier than thou.

I’m sure I’m guilty of that too.

If you don’t want to discuss Catholic teaching on a Catholic forum that calls itself “Catholic Answers” then what are you doing posting here in the first place?

Yes, it does appear as if you are hardening your heart, because you are opposing me for no good reason. Now you are complaining that you don’t like my style of discourse, even though everything I’m saying is true.

Here are the points I am trying to make:

1. That Christian homophobia is real;
2. That it is often exhibited on this forum and specifically in threads such as this;
3. That it is the work of Satan, because it is incompatible with faith, hope and love.

Which of these beliefs do you disagree with? I welcome your perspective. I too am looking for “Catholic Answers”.

Thank you, Justice Kennedy!

Great call!

This is the News Forum. We’re supposed to stick to the OP and not wander.

Yes, it does appear as if you are hardening your heart, because you are opposing me for no good reason.

I gave you some good reasons

I disagree everything you say is true.

Disagree, no homophobia here in CAF. Nope. :dts:

1. That it is the work of Satan, because it is incompatible with faith, hope and love.

No dispute here, except there is no homophobia on this thread.

Which of these beliefs do you disagree with?

The belief that there is homophobia on this thread.

I welcome your perspective. I too am looking for “Catholic Answers”.

I see “WBC vs. Gay Activities” as analogous to “Heresy vs. Heterodoxy”. In deciding which is more damaging to Christianity (the ONLY thing that really matters), I’d say heresy is worse.

If you believe “the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church”, then a violent response to Catholic defenders of the faith will always eventually work to the benefit of the Church.

However, I would like to know who these Christians are that go to Pridefest parades and hold up signs with slogans. What exactly are they protesting and what do they hope to accomplish?

You don’t think Christian homophobia is real?

How about you giving us an example of what you consider to be homophobia that has occurred on this thread.

 

[qui_est_ce]

You don’t think Christian homophobia is real?

Now you’ve moved the goal posts again. You accused posters here on CAF of being homophobic.

Are the Christian homophobes in the world? Yes, never met any, but see it in comments sections of newspapers.

But none here on CAF.

“Homophobia” is one of those focus group-tested words that liberals invented to intimidate those of us who believe that REAL marriage is sacred, and foundational in any civil society. There is no fear, but rather utter disgust with a group so intolerant and hateful of traditional views that no one steps in to stop fiends from beating a man. Rob

Now this I can agree with

So why didn’t the people at Pridefest intervene?

 

[Tucker_R]

I ddint actually watch the video… read the excerpt of what happned tho on another website. At least he got arrested. I think ( hope ) that the female pushing the other preacher got attrested too. They should both be charged with hate crimes IMO.
