Except I CAN Do The Math

Getting up on your soapbox and condemning every homosexual for when a child molester, who happens to be gay, is exactly like condemning every gun owner for a mass shooting.

EXACTLY.

A statistical fact is the vast majority of child molesters are some kind of gay.

And they are still a vanishingly small percentage of homosexuals.

I don't remember the name for it but it's a statistics phenomenon where a subset appears larger than it is because it's part of a small set of numbers.

But the people up on said soapbox don't care.

They're approaching it from a pre-condemnation of Teh Gheys because they have an invisible friend whose employees can't read the book he "wrote."

The crime of pederasty is their excuse to sermonize against Teh Gheys.

Let me do the reading for you.

That section condemning Teh Gheys is condemning pederasts; not Teh Gheys.  You know, the assholes that triggered the sermon against Teh Gheys?

You wanna condemn pederasts?  I'm right there with you.

You wanna blame all homosexuals for the crimes of pederasts?  You're on your own and I stand against you.

Never mind that your invisible friend reserves judgement for themselves.  That's in your book too, or did you miss that part like you missed that He's fine with buggery as long as it isn't with kids.

I should dig it up again.

The idea that being gay is against God is more recent than a lot of people realize and it's from cultural norms which were subsumed into Christianity.

Most of the traction comes from a different section of Your Invisible Friend's Guide To Life.  "Be fruitful and multiply," or some variation on that.

Homosexuality leads to not porking out kids, and He wants us to have babies.  Flip side, as long as you're leaving kids all over the place, there's no problem with Ghey secks.

But most people are nearly completely ignorant of their own theology and are entirely too trusting of the clergy to interpret their book for them.
