As you may have noticed, I very rarely respond to people on Facebook who say that they are opposed to same-sex marriage because the Bible tells us that homosexuality is an abomination. For example, on November 7, 2012 (the day after election day), I posted this:
"We have finally reached a point where same-sex marriage actually passes when put to a popular vote! Very happy to see that happening!"
That status update received three comments. The first stated, "Do your own research on sodom and gamora [sic]. Use whatever literature you'd like. Let me know how they turned out." The second comment, exactly as it was posted, read, "READ THE BOOK OF GENESIS,about the UNGODLY, cpt 6 the story about the flood is God's JUDGMENT ON SIN ,INCLUDING SEXUAL IMMORALITY."
I did not see the point in responding to either comment. I think people who have that mindset are the same people who would try to shout me down if I actually tried to have a rational conversation with them about the subject. They are also the same people who would claim that their hatred for an entire group of people is based on their religion, which is supposed to be founded in love.
Actually, they would claim that they "hate the sin, but love the sinner," which perfectly explains why they cited biblical verses in which God destroys the people that they "love."
Well, in what is probably a futile attempt to actually reach a few people who still hold this outdated view, my general rule about not responding changes now.
