To the Contrary, Anon.

Good day, readers. This is a unique post. See, an anon recently commented (link) on my homosexuality post, and I promised them an entire post as a rebuttal. The comment wreaks of Shannon (apologetic, angry, religious, and has this blog address? Shannon.) but I won't make any more references to that for the entirety of this post. We'll assume it was her friend from a while back (that anon who bashed halley, remember?). Unlike theirs, of course, this one is going to be coherent, readable, and correct.

What I did, as opposed to simply slapping them and getting on with my day, was spend the better part of an hour fixing their comment so it was readable, then issuing a point-by-point rebuttal in red. For clarity:

[Stupid comment.] [Admittedly slightly cruel rebuttal, but one with reason and logic behind it.] [Next stupid comment] [Next rebuttal.]

The entirety of what is to follow was drafted and written in under an hour, but it's not like it was hard to pick apart their logic. Major apologies if I offend any of you for bashing the bible, but know that it's simply how I feel about it and it's not something I look to shove in your face on a daily basis. I suppose it's how I treat my atheism, that is, while respecting other people's views.

Ok. So let's say I supported Yes on 8. Does that make me a homophobic? NO. Yes. You're taking away rights from someone because of who they are. That's oppression, or more simply, bullying. Bullying someone for who they are is called bigotry, or in this case, homophobia. It means that I believe that the definition of marriage is between a man and a woman. Does it mean that I don't think that gay people should have other legal rights? No. Actually, yes. An inch is as good as a mile, really. If they can't do everything you can, then you're better than they are. By taking away their ability to do everything can, you're trying to make yourself better. Does it mean that I have absolutely no tolerance for people that are gay? No. It would seem you don't, from those acts, but given my suspicion of who you are (and thereby knowing you, at least a while back) I'm willing to take you at your word and say you /do/ have tolerance. It does mean that I may have my opinions, like maybe I think that just because someone "comes out" doesn't mean they can go willy nilly and do whatever they want. Willy nilly and what? Get married, as a method of showing their commitment to their partner? No, god forbid the gays do that! Who said anything about going willy nilly? They just want to get hitched, get the fuck over it.Sure, there are lot of other things they go around doing other than prop-8 related things Bigots tend to not just do one thing, true. I'm shocked., and I'm not even talking about that now....actually I'm getting a little ahead of myself... I agree. You're far ahead of yourself. Given your ideas, you're about five, which puts you about ten years ahead of yourself. Get some education, and come back.

But guess what? Just because I don't support gay marriage doesn't mean I want to go throw rocks at them and bully them silly! As I've said, supporting taking away their rights /is/ bullying them, so why bother throwing rocks? You're already bullying them, why do it twice over? Who does that? Bigots. Wanting to stick with traditional marriage is OK. It isn't, actually, in this case, as you're acting like the two have to be mutually exclusive. I understand how people can think that I hate gay people. But guess what? I DON'T. Get that? I do not hate gay people. I recognize that you think you don't, but there's incredible evidence to the contrary. There. Now quit calling me a homophobe and get on with your lives. I don't even know who the hell you are. That'd make it really difficult for me to call you a homophobe. Well, not really. "That idiotic anon who posted on the homosexuality post is a homophobe (look, redundancy!) I love people. ALL PEOPLE. Lies. You're lying, here. You might think otherwise, but it looks like you're just another bigot (Whoa, I'm getting sorta worked up Hardly. Caps are just for emphasis, not necessarily to show that you're getting worked up. And besides, passion about something is a good thing, it can show that you have absolute faith in who you are. That's good, except when you're wrong.....sorry bout that... Don't be. Look at the one who edited everything you wrote as a rebuttal.) And I'm going to stick with my opinion, and you guys can sure as heck keep saying I'm an awful person, Believe me, we will, because you are. cuz' apparently you can do anything you want In that case, I'll be at your place in five to rape you. If I can do anything I want, I'm going to wreck you emotionally. . But just to let you know, maybe we as people should start having more tolerance for other people too. There's so much hippocracy here I can hardly even think of a word to describe it. I'll go ahead and leave it as hella. Hella hippocracy. You're preaching tolerance a paragraph after saying you support taking away other people's rights. Maybe we can tolerate that other people believe that a strong family is important, What you're trying to say here is that a family with two dads or two moms can't be strong. Says... who? You? God? That angry man on the street corner preaching the end is nigh? That's the stupidest thing I've heard since the sentence before it. that because I believe in traditional marriage, I am NOT stupid I think you're stupid for acting like it and gay marriage are mutually exclusive. I don't think you're stupid! You just disagree with me, I respect that. I respect you, you're just being wrong to a point where I think you're stupid. But I /totally/ respect you. Come on, those who're reading this guy's blog, you're flipping awesome! It took me like a minute to figure out what the fuck that sentence was supposed to be, but I don't disagree with that.

But maybe we need to tolerate those who maybe are voicing their opinion, Doesn't mean I can't disagree with it, does it? I'd tolerate you, but I'm not supposed to like bigots. Sorry. which I admit is in the minority of the opinion bowl most of the time. I tried, I swear to your god, but I could /not/ figure out what the hell an opinion bowl is. Since when does only the minority voice their opinion, though? And really, how did the bowl come to be involved? I believe that God created men and women for a reason. I don't believe in God, and I don't think we really have a purpose except living for each other. Which I've mentioned. That he created us. I don't have a problem with that, it's just not what I think. And you know what? No, what? I believe that God should be the one to draw the line, and not us. I'm an Atheist, so this sentence is about as not-how-I-think as is possible. But still: I'll go out on a limb and say you're christian. So you're taking your hints from god via the bible. The same bible that endorses slavery, and fails to mention rape in the ten commandments? That is sexist beyond measure? Yeah. Great book to take queues from. I don't have a problem with that, really I don't, until you start using it as a weapon against those who get the shaft in your beloved tome. I believe that as men and women we have free agency, but we also have consequences for what we do. So we have free choice, but there are consequences for our actions? My mind is blown, really. No shit, there are consequences. But what I think you're getting at is you think homosexuality is a choice, and that there should be consequences for that. It isn't. And there sure as hell shouldn't be a consequence for that, unless you okay me slapping your ass and telling you what to do because you're a woman. And I also think that maybe you don't want me to go all preachy on you, Too late. I went preachy on you, but I don't apologize for it. so I'll stop there. Thank your god.But don't go bashing on me because I believe in God, ok? I have never, ever bashed someone for their belief in god. I'll freely bash your holy tome, because it's racist, sexist, and homophobic, but I'll never bash you for having faith in a creator an afterlife. I did for a considerable amount of time, and I know it's comforting. I stopped believing in it, but I'm not going to give you shit about it. I mean sure you can, and you probably want to after everything that I've ranted about. No, I want to rant to you about what you ranted about. I bashed your tome a bit, though, just so you'll feel good for provoking me.

Just know that I do not hate gay people. Again, overwhelming evidence to the contrary. I have my opinion, Go ahead and have it, I just disagree with it. I noted why in red. There's a lot of red. I do not support gay relationships, I noticed. It's horrifyingly obvious. but I also don't yell and scream at them true, to my knowledge, but as I said, you want them to have their rights taken away? What kind of shit is that? Why bother yelling, you can just take away things that make their life enjoyable. about how much I don't support it. Then what the /fuck/ do you call this? I don't call them names, You don't need to. Take away their rights, that's plenty. they are people too, No shit. So why act like they aren't? Why act like they're people, just people who are below you? and we're being totally cliche. No, we aren't. It's called feeling passionately about something, which is good. Maybe passion blinded your eyes, so you couldn't tell how stupid you were being. But for the record, I believe in traditional marriage, I got that. Me too, but you can't have it be exclusively traditional. Just say the words: gay marriage isn't wrong. Now learn it, idiot. but I do not hate gays. With each sentence, you say otherwise. Why pretend? There. There? As in over there? As in, over there, where I left my brain so I could unthinkingly leave an unintelligent post in which I not only contradict myself, but I also insult gays dozens of times? Just thought I'd set the record there in a few thousand words. Rather, you fucked up the record. All the red is how much straightening it took. Jeebas. And I'm only goin' anonymous here cuz' I don't have any google account or blog press fancy thing. Utter bullshit, you even say so in the next motherfucking sentence. PLus, I know there's gonna be some argument here and I'd rather just state whatI believe and not have people mock me even more for it You said earlier, about a paragraph and a half earlier, that there are consequences for our actions. I guess I'll rely on your god for this on, or you can grow a fucking pair and admit who you are. If you're going to be stupid, at least admit who you are, otherwise it's practically an admission of idiocy. Which is really in tune with the rest of this post, so I suppose it fits. so.... Sorry to dissapoint. You have no idea how not disappointing it is. Rather, it's fantastic. You're a dream. A contradictory idiot who can't think coherently and makes grand assumptions which aren't true. The part that makes you so dreamy is you're preaching the other side of the argument. If you're going to take the wrong side, then do so quietly and let the good liars who make a little amount of sense (until one looks into what they're saying, of course.)

In summary, this anon is a contradictory idiot for saying they don't hate gays and then providing overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Let this serve as an example, readers, of what I do to those who are wrong. I'm only mean so long as they're stupid. So, I'm basically mean all the time, but I'm also right, so fuck your shit and comment the hell out of this thing.
