Mr_Private_Person Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I got a response that people said that homosexuals are good people and nobody should say they are going to go to hell. But when I post pictures of two men who were in love, and expressing themselves, I get banned for what a moderator said is a scandalous photographs. [quote]Hugheyforlife Please refrain from posting images of scandalous nature on the phorum. Thanks.[/quote] Correct me if I am wrong, but the word scandalous means doing something that is Taboo. Taboo means doing something that is wrong. People are the sum of their actions, so by saying having pictures of men kissing is Taboo, and therefore wrong, and therefore those men are living wrong, because they are expressing their honest affection for each other. So, why is Hugheyforlife saying what homosexuals is wrong, but everybody else saying we shouldn't judge them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puellapaschalis Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I think this might come down to the difference between the state of "being homosexual" or "having homosexual tendencies" - however one might want to describe that, perhaps in terms of SSA or something - and the attitude that acting upon those tendencies is ok and acceptable.

Maggyie Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Being homosexual is not scandalous, acting out on it is scandalous. Kissing is acting out on it, right? Anyway I don't think anybody wants to see any pictures of PDA from straight people either. Not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have rules prohibiting posting mature content (images of homosexual men making out falls under this category). [quote]Mature Content A post or comment that has a subject matter not appropriate for underage visitors. The moderators will be asked to use good judgment, so please use common sense. Note: This should not be confused with theological or intellectual restrictions--this guideline only applies to the subject--not the level of discussion.[/quote] There is also a difference between judging persons and judging actions. I am sure that you know full well that as Catholics we believe that [i]acting on[/i] homosexual attractions is sinful. The men in the images weren't being condemned, but the action depicted in them was deemed scandalous and not appropriate for phatmass. Images of heterosexual couples making out would not be appropriate for this phorum either. If you want to discuss whether or not homosexuals are being judged then go ahead. If you have an issue with the decision the moderator made take it up in private. If you make an issue of hugheygforlife's moderating decision publicly then be forewarned that it will be edited according the the phorum guidelines. [quote]Public Criticism of Moderators All criticism of moderators or administrators should be handled in private via e-mail or private messages. Any public posts will be deleted and a warning issued.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloysius Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 ppl are NOT the sum of their actions. people have dignity and worth independent of any of their actions; their actions can damage themselves and others, but we do not judge a person's worth by the sum of their actions. your problem is that you are using mere assertions as premises. you assert things as if we should all have already accepted them as fact, that's not how you discuss, that's not how you debate; that's how you troll. we don't like trolls here... we don't even have any bridges for fear some might pop up under them.
