Just because you never personally met someone doesn't mean you shouldn't wish AIDS on them if what they have done is evil.
Except that what people and religions, especially religions, define as evil is both arbitrary and highly subjective.
Look at all the people that JTF gives the "yimach shmo" curse to.
I'm sure the "yimach shmo curse" is every bit as effective as the evil eye and other such "curses". That is to say not even a little bit.
We are not intimately familiar with all of these people but we know they are evil
I guess it's not hard to define people as "evil" when you define "evil" as anything that does not agree with your preconcieved views and opinions.
The policy makers who had a hand in embracing queer mongers (which includes removing the ban on sodomy that used to be in the UCMJ) are endorsing a PRACTICE that is forbidden to both Jews and Gentiles.
You have failed to notice one incontravertible FACT! The american people and by extension the US military are not governed by nor subject to the laws of any religion. Period!
In this case, they have done something bad to me, because they are corrupting my society and the defenders of it.
No, they have not. You are not guaranteed, nor can you reasonably expect society, in part or in whole, to conform itself is such a way as to not offend your delicate sensabilities. The sooner you take a step back and realize that the world does not revolve around you you and your expectations the happier we'll all be.
Let's go back to basics for just a moment:
Leviticus 18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
Your basics maybe, but not mine. Your religious "laws" and beliefs do not have any legal impact on anyone. Anyone is free to follow and live by them if they so choose, but you DO NOT have the right to expect anyone other than yourself to live by them.
As you can see, this position is straight out of the Torah, so there is nothing "fringe" about it. It's simply the truth.
And the Torah means absolutely fuck-all to both myself and millions of others. You can live by all you want, but you should not, and indeed cannot, expect anyone else to do so.
The correct answer is if it is in line with G-d's will. And "evil" includes more practices than just wanting to destroy Israel, and homosexual relations is clearly one of them. Now maybe you are the type that picks and chooses which parts of the Torah you believe based on whatever you pull out of your tuchus (or put into your tuchus for that matter). But don't blame those of us who have a conscience and believe the whole thing.
And are those who eat shellfish or wear clothes of mixed fabrics also "evil"? I ask this because the Torah refers to both of them as "abominations", te same word with which it refers to homosexuality. So I ask you this, Do you 'curse' or pray for the deaths of those people who eat shimp or wear a cotton/rayon blend? And if not, then why? Are they not equally "evil" in the eyes of your "god"?
Also, talking the way I do does not make me look ugly.
Of course not. There's nothing ugly, spiteful, or exceedingly petty about wishing or praying for your "god" to kill people or give them an incurable diasese for something so simple as disagreeing with you.
It makes me look exceedingly cool and inspires Jews to become more observant because if a Gentile can proudly believe in the Torah, then so can a Jew.
But it doesn't make you look "cool", it makes you look like a bigoted little prick with a highly overinflated sense of is own importance and an ego the size of a small country. Arrogance doesn't make you look "cool", nor does bigotry. In fact, it's hard to look "cool" when people like you are a dime a dozen.
