>>Do you believe that atheists have rights? That their beliefs and ability to practice atheism should be protected?<<
Yes, they have a natural right to practice atheist religion. Homosexuals have the right to have homosexual sex.
But they do not have the natural right to use force upon a society that by nature is comprised of members who are biologically identified by heterosexuality, forcing that society to accept a sexual scheme foreign to its biological identity. Atheists and homosexuals have rights not because of their behavior. They have rights because of their fundamental biological identities as humans like the rest of us. When their behavior is foreign to what they (and we) are, they may reasonably lose the right to fully participate in a society with us.
NO ONE is born a biological homosexual. ALL humans are comprised of fundamental genetic material contributed from exactly one man and exactly one woman. That is mankind’s essential identification. Without that male-female duality, the human creature does not exist. Homosexuality is foreign to that identity. And because it is not us, we have no natural obligation to accept it at all. Just as we have no natural obligation to accept murder - which also is foreign to human life.
Homosexuals win in courts simply because society is losing its common sense of what society is. The success of homosexuals is actually a symptom of social confusion and instability.
>>If so, how does that differ from the rights of a Christian homosexual? There are a good number of homosexuals who believe in and practice Christianity.<<
If they are not repentant, then they practice a “christianity” that has little to do with Christ and His Scripture.
>>When comparing atheists and Christian homosexuals, who is better, in the eyes of the religious right?<<
Can’t really speak for the “religious right.” But from my vantagepoint, I suspect both groups are condemned, as well as many in the “religious right” and “religious left.”
>>Does one group deserve to have their rights protected even thought they actively deny God, while the other that embraces Him does not?<<
Atheists are simply being honest about their inability to ever know God. Unrepentant homosexuals are lying, manufacturing false comfort by serving a god, ANY god, that has nothing to do with Christianity. Christianity simply does not accept homosexuality as a valid and moral behavior. |
