Real World Politics

[Ethan_Burnkeep]

but you are refreshing to read.

Yes very refreshing.

do you think it is wrong for Christians to tell gay people and LGBTQ people that what they are doing is wrong?

yes

I started the conversation, put my foot out, and now I'm put my foot back in and am probably going to regret it.

Pig, If I was doing something absolutely evil, would you tell me to not do it?

[Spector_Otterquill]

is it making you uncomfortable?

No but why waste time discussing adult things in front of children when you have been asked not to and you(plural) are literally doing nothing other than repeating what you have already said.

[Eerie_Coppernight]

Tell that to @Pig_Larkcape1. He brought the subject up and I, combative fool that I am, had to play the apologist.

[Spector_Otterquill]

Tell that to @Pig_Larkcape1

It take two to argue and

you(plural)

[Beth_Applemine]

So, Pig, I asked you if you thought it was wrong for Chtistians to tell gay peeps that their actions are wrong, and you said:

yes

May I ask why you believe it is wrong?

We as Christians are trying to do what the Bible tells us to do. The Bible says that we should tell people who are sinning that they are, and the Bible also says that what gay people do is wrong.
So if I really believe the Bible, I'm going to do what it says, no matter what hate I get from people who are offended.
According to Romans:

If you saw someone walking towards a cliff on their phone, completely oblivious to the fact that they are about to plummet to their death, what would you do if you cared about them in any way?

"STOP! YOU'RE ABOUT TO WALK OFF A CLIFF!!!!!"

Right?

So that's why I believe that we should tell gay people that what they are doing is wrong.

In that post Jacoby said “as long as it doesn’t get out of hand,” which at this point it definitely looks like it has.
Anyway, we’re currently in discussion about this in mod chat, so we’ll get back to y’all.

[Beckendorf_Direscope]

If you guys could just put a pause on ypur discussion here for today while we deliberate, that would be great.
We don't want to close the topic, we just want to make sure we can make an acurrate decision based on the situation.
Thank you!

I'd be more than happy to stop altogether. It would be good to clear my head from all the playground insults that have been tossed around.

[Sierepica_Fuzzywalker]

From my perspective everything looks under control, but I don't really have anything more to contribute to the discussion right now, so I will accede to the request.

my skin is so thick that I missed Piggy's "playground insults" and I thought Beth's caps lock was for dramatic effect.

Enjoy your iron hide, my dear. This is one occasion where it is an asset.

sigh _{this feels like a relapse of law and order}

You are 100% correct Miss_S. I wasn't trying to be harsh, just trying to convey the panic of the person saying the...thing--that they were saying.
I'm no poet.

We members are requesting the "Real World Politics" topic be shut down. This topic is not providing concrustive content to the forums, and is becoming reminiscent of Law and Order. The Aetherlight Forums is a website dedicated to the gaming endeavors for 8-12 year olds. The Forums is not a place for debates and adult topics. This is why we are requesting a closing of this topic.

I'll be fine if it gets shut down or it stays going.

@Lilliana_Umbrellascope do you have relations with all those people in real life?

[Eerie_Coppernight]

I suppose it's useless to say anything at this point. At one time, I might have agreed with you. However, I don't think I can do that this time around.

Would one or several of these members step forward and say why they don't like this topic, and let's not have anything about "not suitable for 8-12 year olds." We all know that the game forums are full of people who can behave, to a degree, as rational adults. Let's put our motherly instincts aside just for a bit and talk about why we don't like this.

Of course, I could just be drawing a line that doesn't need drawing. You could, of course, ignore me.

[Elizabeth_Newroad]

The reason I agreed to sign Lilliana’s petition is because I’m seeing a repeat of Law and Order. Maybe not to that extent, but I assure you that in due time there is a very good chance it will turn out that way.

Law and Order became a place where people who had already made their decisions argued about whether or not their view was correct (plus a few insults mixed in with that, of course). This topic, unfortunately, is starting to look the same way. We are not getting anywhere with this so-called debate and have just proven how immature you all can act.

Now I assume you peeps will just mosey on over to Why; the Bible and start a whole conflict there if this topic gets closed, but you do you. We can always make another petition.

I hope this answers your question, Eerie. I can always come up with a few more reason if you feel this isn’t enough.

[Abigail_Eggsong]

why they don't like this topic

This topic is not providing concrustive content to the forums, and is becoming reminiscent of Law and Order.

You could, of course, ignore me.

You could, of course, ignore the fourteen individuals who signed the declaration. We petitioned and included our cause.

No further statement is required.

_{next time please invite me cause I would have right away signed this petition.}
