You were responding to the person that stated that in a confrontational manner.

Why include in a quote a gigantic portion of a post you are not addressing?

I was confronting his equating morality with Christianity and the decay of civilization with liberalism, not the equating of morality with law. As for quoting, one was in the first paragraph and the other was in the second. I like cutting down quotes as much as anyone but getting that specific, with two sentences in two different paragraphs, is at least 5 extra seconds of work.

Morality IS law. It's not relative to individual interpretation or perspective. It just is . No man can change it and to deny its absolutivity is to deny morality in its entirety. Whether you share my faith or not is irrelevant: a majority of laws in the civilized world were based on principles of Christian culture in the first place. Morality is absolute, no matter what you believe, and there is no changing that no matter how hard you try.

Mark my words. It may not be immediate, but society will crumble as liberalism continues to promote the destruction of morality and tradition in favor of "personal freedom" and social justice. You think the world is horrendous today? Remove all the stops put in place due to morality, wait a couple years, and this current world will be as Eden. Ignorance and denial of morality's absolutivity will make this planet a wasteland.
So being LGBT is a crime against morality and nature, and therefore needs to be punished by death and a sentence to hell. Following any other religion or idea is an abhorrence as well. Women need to know that they are second class citizens. And showing any form of acceptance for foreigners (which is considered loving thy neighbour, and let's face it, neighbours are guaranteed to think differently from you) should be responded with ruination.

While you may not have said this personally and that it is true that Christian beliefs are the base of many laws in the developed world, does this mean they are 100% right? Maybe, but not necessarily. I say not necessarily because Christianity may be the right path all along, but if you think I'm going to walk a path because of your or anyone else's dogma, think again. You might as well also say that any Christian church that preaches slightly differently to your own beckons damnation as well.

I normally wouldn't agree with your way of doing things, but in this case I do. Someone needed to say something about that level of dogma.

• What is your country/society's attitudes towards the LGBT community?
They love it apparently.

I don't like it but it is what it is.

• What is something you wish society could understand about LGBT?
Idk man

It's a conscious choice. Gay people choose to be gay.

Ye

• What're your views on gender-neutral bathrooms?
Don't like it but it is what it is.

• What're your current opinions on the human rights violations against LGBT persons around the world (such as the death penalty for homosexuality)?
Good for the countries that have that penalty but not for western countries.

What, things such as laws and courts? :P

"Totalitarian - a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state."

Law and courts don't come into the definition at all. It's perfectly possible for tyranny to be legal

Could you elaborate on that? Your choice to bold that word fascinates me.

Do you mean that "gay" people decide one day that they want to stand out and be different, so they cling onto the title of homosexuality to achieve that level of uniqueness? ie: Forcing homosexuality onto themselves for some unknown reasoning, even though sexuality is not something that can be changed nor forced.

or

Do you mean that gay people, whom have actual sexual and romantic attractions to those of the same gender which came to them naturally, decide to follow and embrace that attraction, rather than live a heterosexual lifestyle which goes against their heart's true desire?

Mine, for example. I regard support for same-sex marriage as a morally good position and as an appropriate position for a Christian.
