Christianophobia and homophobia: A civil debate

Tweet

Let me lay some ground rules first: 1) I am not in anyway endorsing or criticizing either christianity or homosexuality ok? I tend to avoid voicing public opinion on any "ity's" that I come upon in public forum. 2) If you cannot discuss the following manner with tact and respect for others' opinions, don't bother--I'll report it. I'm not saying you can't disagree, just be civil and act as educated, well-mannered human beings (unless you aren't human--i think the alien forums are found on myspace--HA!) Ok are you ready? Then let's have some fun! The following is an analogy based on terms being debated by the United Nations. We could extend this to include terms like islamophobia, buddistaphobia (?)--etc--my discussion is attempting to show the absurdity of both terms (christianophobia and homophobia)--let's see what you think and keep things civil please! Firstly--Webster's Dictionary defines homophobia in the following manner: "irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals " Ok I think we can all grasp this right? Then here comes the part that will undoubtedly tick some people off--ready? This analogy is inspired by some posts I read on another site about homophobics. Let's take this definition and apply it ro christianophics and see what happens. The definition of a Christianophobic is someone who doesn't agree with a Christian's life choice to follow Christ. A Christianophobic is afraid of what a Christian has to say, and this fear is caused by ignorance. A Christianophobic doesn't believe Christians have the right to display their Christianity in public (wow--homosexuals can and do!) Because this choice is protected by the US Constitution, anyone who causes physical harm to a Christian because of what they believe is guilty of a hate crime. And since the homosexual culture is now saying that if you speak against homosexuality you should also be be guilty of hate crimes--well I guess that means that Christianophobics that speak against Christianity are also guilty. Makes sense? Or does it? Let's pick it apart but KEEP IT CIVIL!!
