I recently moved into a new apartment complex. I said in my introductory post that it seemed somehow anti-Christian, but today I found out exactly how bad it is. The single women living next to me is apparently a lesbian. As I passed her apartment, one of her "friends" walked out, and she kissed her on the mouth. I immediately stopped to tell them that they were sinning against the Lord, and it turned into a huge argument. I just got a new job, and I dont want to have to look for a new apartment, but I hate the idea of living in a place of so much sin. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach her again?

Hilarious! Love how the first thing that occurs to her is to tell her neighbor of how she will burn for eternity for her love interests, and then ends up all jittery due to the horror of having a "sinner" live next door to her. She must have lived a hell of a cushy life up to that point to be seriously concerned about this...it's just inane.
Loved bygod23. you have no choice. You have to leave before you catch "teh gay". You know the consequences if you continue living in such an evil place.
Depart immediately and save yourself from the lake of fire.
I'm sure she hates the idea of living in a place of so much intolerance, too, but she was there first.
Just leave her alone, if that's possible for you.
How about just minding your own business and living your life.
I'm sure they're posting somewhere about the fundie nutcase that just moved into their building.
@ hoofhearted ~ why move, you can see all the lesbian action you want down on Commercial Drive.
Well, if you really wanted to approach her and share a decent conversation with her, a genuine "I'm sorry" would be appropriate. Of course, knowing you, you're not sorry at all, so leave her alone and deal with it.
I suggest you approach her with a digital camera. I would recommend the Canon Ixus 900 Ti, with 3x optical zoom and 10.0 megapixel resolution. For drilling a hole through to her bedroom try the Bosch 14.4VE2 cordless-
Ah wait, you meant approaching her with all that religious crap. Don't bother. I've heard the racket lesbians can make. No amount of spirituality is going to talk them out of that.
What amuses me most is this notion that... well, evidently this person thinks that they're going to just convince every other person in their apartment building to completely stop sinning so that they'll feel comfortable living there? Or is it only certain sins that impact the desirability of real estate?
"Does anyone have any advice on how to approach her again?"
Well, first apologize for being an ass. Then say, "Your personal life is none of my business. Let's just pretend this never happened."
Somehow I don't think that's what you had in mind. So DON'T approach her ever again, unless you want to risk getting your ass reported to the police for harrassment.
Yeah, say: "I'm an idiot and I stuck my nose in your business where it didn't belong. Please forgive me my indiscretion."
Easy, but nigh impossible for the fundie mindset.
Lesbian going about her daily life somehow = anti-Christian.
The only reason she might be anti-Christian now is because of your rude, obtrusive and uncalled-for behavior
Love thy neighbor as thy self. Or something to that effect.
It is none of your damn business what others do.
If you approach her again don't be surprised if she gets violent. I sure as hell would.
Stay away from her. She has as much right to live there without being harrassed as you do, and she didn't harrass you, you just took exception to something she did. Besides, she was living there first. Suck it up.
The bigoted, holier-than-thou, hate-filled misogynist Paul said "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:" (Romans 1:26). Jesus Himself, on the other hand, said "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment. And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these" (Mark 12:30-31).
Guess which one fundies listen to.
So, what, they'd think that most apartment buildings wouldn't have any gay people in them? And what about all the straight people living in sin?? Or, wait, I forgot it's just the homosexuals that really gets these people's goats.
That woman shuold have just told the fundie that she was happy and didn't care to hear what they had to say. That'd tick them off, plus it's not worth arguing with religious nuts.
So why can't this Rapture Bunny just set up some sort of Scripture-Field to protect her from all that sin?
And why can't I get busybody, completely bugnuts neighbors like this (the Fundie, not the Lesbian). I'd think getting jumped on for reading a book on evolution or something might be mildly entertaining. A lesbian neighbor would probably just ignore me.
Unless you're a woman, I recommend you don't approach her again. You're barking up the wrong tree.
It's not your business what or who she does. If it bothers you so much, move elsewhere. She has the right to live without your intereference.
Ya know what's encouraging?
All the responses at RR. Every last one of them is critical of her approach.
I still have no faith in humanity, but at least now the outlook isn't so horrible.
The saddest thing about that thread is there's a lesbian who says that she feels the way she does because of Satan's temptation. She also talks of being completely miserable because she avoids other women to avoid temptation.
I really hope she gets out of that stupid fucking cult and accepts herself.
If your faith was half as strong as you tout it to be, you wouldn't be afraid of someone else's affairs somehow tainting you.
Rapture Ready: the only site that makes Conservapedia look sane and rational.
You probably heard it on the playground: "Mind yer own beeswax."
Oh...right...you were homeschooled, weren't you? You didn't get any playground time.
One more reason home schooling is bad for kids.
Aw, they deleted/locked the post.
But, yeah, all the talk with the one poster who was 'struggling' with her attraction to other women was depressing. Why is it always Satan's fault that they're gay?
"Does anyone have any advice on how to approach her again?"
Well first leave out the hell fire bull shit and being a self rightious ignorant asshole with no business telling anyone how to live their life.
That never gets you laid.
Try chocolate instead.
Does anyone have any advice on how to approach her again?
Don't! The chances are you've already been contaminated. Now it's just a matter of time as you slide down the slippery slope of Lesbianism --> Abortion --> Satan Worship --> Witchcraft --> Nuclear Holocaust.
Thanks lovedbygod23, you just had to move into the same building as a den of a satan worshiping lesbian witch coven didn't you?
If someone like this stopped me and told me I was going to hell, I'd ask them why, then, when I got bored, I'd box their ears and walk away.
Sin only exists in the minds of fundies like lovedbygod23, who use it as an excuse to impose their beliefs and project their prejudices onto others.
I'm willing to bet money that LBG has brought up to think anything other than missionary, upon an undefiled marriage bed, between heterosexual virgins, is inherently sinful and displeases the sky pixie.
So when she sees something that doesn't fit her definition, she projects bile, and when she is quite rightfully told to GTFO, she comes back with a vengeance (like that annoying itch you just can't scratch).
There is no greater saying to describe fundamentalism than this: Misery Loves Company.
Oh, and LBG? Please do STFU and GTFO. Or it is likely you will end up with a black eye, and it would serve you right you interfering, frigid old baggage.
The single most important thing you can do when moving into a new place is get on good terms with the neighbours as soon as possible. Congratulations on comprehensively buggering up your chances of that.
Ironically, your best chance of avoiding problems with this person in the future would have been to make friends immediately, then if they later did anything to annoy you (maybe the walls are thin) jsut ask nicely and perhaps they'll keep it down. Instead, you have taken the best possible measure to maximise your chances of a miserable home life due to conflict with the neighbours. Well done.
Mind. Your. Own. Fucking. Business.
OR-here's just a little thought. Be kind. You know, like your Jesus guy taught. Maybe an apology?
Naive little thing. One of them is trying to expel the demon of homosexuality through her mouth by sucking it out. If you were a good Christian, you'd be doing the same! They can be stubborn, so you may have to use your tongue a bit, too. Since you were unclear as to which one's the real lesbian, you should work on both of them.
Hope this helps!
Approach her, tell her you're sorry, and give her a nice present - such as a video camera and tripod set-up. And remember, apologies always go better when sitting in an inflatable pool with a few inches of jelly at the bottom.
I like how she acts surprised that her bitching at them for being sinners turned into a huge argument. Like they where gonna go "You know what? Jesus wouldn't like this! I'm gonna choose to be straight right away! Thanks really, if only someone had called me a sinner for kissing my girlfriend before now..."
"I immediately stopped to tell them that they were sinning against the Lord,"
I wouldn't have bothered arguing. I would have laughed in your face.
Well, lovedbygod23, you could try obeying the One Commandment of Basic Humanity:
"Don't be an asshole."
Try that, and if it doesn't work, then go fuck yourself.
a) I smell a poe.
b) Assuming it's not a poe, two women kissing, even on the lips, does not necessarily mean "ZOMG! Lezzz-bee-unns!"
c) How to approach them? Try, "I am very sorry for my inexcusable rudeness previously. I hope we can put aside our differences enough that we can at least be good neighbors, if not actual friends."
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
