Reply to comment by Benji_Nottm in C of E must welcome gay people or face questions in parliament, says MP by dolphins3

"I'm gay"

Yeah as a bisexual research scientist I cannot imagine how twisted your brain would have to be to say "it's up to the religion if they want to treat gay people like abominations haha 😊". Bro nah nobody should be home of phobic this take is awful.

Probably LGBT but raised Christian. I was, which is why I stay curious about Christianity related news, but that upbringing definitely fucks you up.

Why? Because I think religion is BS. They can do what the hell they want. I don't have this urge to make everyone think like I do. We can argue how if it is a sin it's no more grave a sin than adultery and churches aren't supposed to be only accepting the perfect, quite the opposite...But a secular society is about leaving each other alone, not forcing everyone and everything to abide by you. The CofE will catch up in time, bullying them into doing so just give powerful ammunition to nutters on the Right.

The UK is not a secular society. It is a protestant country, hence 'The Church of England'

Oh I see, you meant the second quotes. You misunderstood me using humor to point out the absurdity of the point they made. Allow me to clarify: I was using humor to point out the absurdity of the point they made.
