Homophobic? Is Homophobia In The Bible?

Do you know the difference between a modifier and a noun?

Phobia, the noun, refers to a clinical anxiety disorder, characterized by a persistent fear of an object or situation.

Phobia, the modifier, refers to an irrational aversion or prejudice toward the noun being modified.

The same word, when used differently, means different things.

Imagine that.

My understanding of modifiers is that adjectives modify nouns, and adverbs modify verbs.

Homophobia is a noun. Homophobic is an adjective.

This does not change anything that I wrote at the outset of this thread concerning prefixes and suffixes.

Sig. Fix the sig, Jesus.

Am I missing something here, but the terms 'arachnophobia' and 'homophobia', for example, describe two rather different feelings.

No they don't.

They both denote fear.

One things that's definitely in the Bible, incestuous homosexual rape.

. . . Ham raped his father Noah while Noah was passed out from binge-drinking wine; told his two brothers about it who then covered their drunken father's naked raped body and Noah became so enraged after he woke and discovered his sore butthole that he cursed Ham's son Canaan (his own grandson) who went on to be the founder of the Canaanites, the long standing mortal and often subjugated enemies of the Israelites. Crazy shit.

Another theory is that Ham raped his mother while Noah drunken ass was soring. But really, read the Bible line per line, Ham buttraped his own father.

That can be it, because God loves rape.

Not quite. One describes irrational fear and even panic, the other describes hatred, suspicion and bigotry.

No, they both denote fear.

Do you understand what a suffix is?

Why do you accuse God of being that?

He displays psychopathic tendencies in combination with some epic levels of narcissism.

You didn't answer my other question. If God commanded you to have sex with a man, would you?

Do you understand that the meaning of words can change depending on context? Show an arachnaphobe a spider and show a homophobe a gay person and you'll get two very different reactions.

Yes, I understand that the meaning of words can change depending on the context. But in this case that is not true.

You see, any word that has the suffix -phobia attached to it means fear.

For example, Acrophobia (fear of heights), Coulrophobia (fear of clowns”), Toxiphobia (fear of being poisoned).

Context is irrelevant.

Again, in this case the prefix and/or suffix of a word dictates what a word means, not the context.

Or what if it was a gay spider?!?!

That is simply not true. The suffix -phobia takes on a different meaning when applied to societal issues such homophobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia, etc.

'Homophobia', if taken literally, would mean 'fear of the same' which is basically nonsensical.

The man who coined the word homophobia did so incorrectly.

He should have just used contra-, or anti-homosexual, to denote people who do "not" agree with the homosexual lifestyle, and/or who denounce it—not homophobia.

Leviticus 18:22

You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

Leviticus also forbids eating shellfish and pork, trimming your beard, and wearing mixed fabrics, but I'm sure you adhere to these strict guidelines to a fault as well.

"You shall not lie with a male as a woman". In modern times you might interpret that as not lying with a male who is pretending to be a woman.

All homosexual relationships are an abomination to God.

Both are obtuse blocks of religious text, so yeah, go for it.

Actually, biblical verses only explicitly frown upon male homosexuality. God is apparently big on girl-on-girl.

Wouldn't he have created a species that is just incapable of homosexual behavior then?

Before you return with comments abut free will, if the guy loved free will so much he wouldn't insist that we worship him and only him.
