That’s irrelevant I pointed out why your example of a drinking ban in Muslim countries was not prejudicial because it didn’t single any particular group unlike the opposition to same sex marriage in Russia. The fact that non Muslims in some Muslim countries are exempt simply shows a level of tolerance in those Muslim countries that is not afforded to LGTBQ+ people in some Christian countries.
There you go again trying to draw a link between homosexuality and paedophilic practices.
The only place that pederasty is commonly practiced and tolerated by authority is within religious orders. Did you somehow miss the child sexual abuse scandals that have been exposed in recent years?
“ I do not think that you have brought up a rational argument that proves I am in the wrong for thinking this at all. You are just appealing to your own values.”
Why the sudden requirement for rationality? Are you losing faith in the irrational?
