Gay conversion therapy to be banned

Okayyyy, so I'm all for freedom of religion. I believe that if you want to place your faith in God, then that is your choice to make.

But your statement... is honestly quite repulsive. The Government won't stop that, you're right. It won't stop that because the Government bases their laws, regulations, and decisions, on fact and evidence; to which, there is none to support homosexuality being a sin. In an alternate universe, heterosexuals are likely dealt the same hand of oppression and abuse that homosexuals experience in our own universe. In another, there is no abuse or oppression to any sexuality, as the people in that world accept that we are all humans.

I would very much like to live in the latter...

You think being attracted to members of the same sex is akin to being traumatised into not doing/enjoying something?

It's true though. Religions are cults. It's the easily brainwashed masses being controlled by the small minority up top. The brainwashing starts with children and people trying to 'find themselves'.

hmmmm..... i suppose the government slowly eradicating all traces of God from the school curriculum and mandating all children to go through an atheistic upbringing in the classroom for a whole 12 years of the child's development isn't brain-washing either?

Please...the government perfected that nonsense

Why can’t you say the same about modern liberalism?

Aren’t we being brainwashed by the same socially liberal clique who run Hollywood, the Media and Hollywood?

What other stuff do you mean?



There's no scientific evidence to prove that it works, and it can also be incredibly damaging to both mental and physical health. In some cases it even involves rape so, you know, that's why not

Sure. What's your point though? Your whataboutery is very interesting but I was talking about religion.

Between brainwashing kids to be atheists and brainwashing kids to believe in made up beings and books written thousands of years ago for a different society - I know what I'd pick.

it’s relevant as you’ve presented a case based on moral relativism. If there is no encompassing morality then why does it matter as in both cases we are being ‘brainwashed’

Religion has no place in the classroom, much like politics.

Well my point still stands about religion.

I think this is an insane restriction on freedom-of-speech. When you've got all the other stuff being allowed why is this then acceptable? It's up to parents to raise their children and I doubt conversion therapy is always wrong. I would personally raise my child to be as feminine as possible but I do understand that I am in a minority.

Why?

Yes, but it’s retarded, and can be made about any society including the one you are defending.

‘Dude, cant you see how important it is that the universe has no meaning?’

Government will never be able to judge what is a sin and what isn't, that's God's jurisdiction and he already elaborated on that matter

Religion removes choice, free will and reason which are things that should be encouraged in kids.
