No it isn't. That's what started the discussion originally, but I
subsequently made the more general statement that the idea of an animal
being killed for homosexual behaviour was not that implausible, given
the level of homophobia in the world. You then made the categorical
statement that such a thing has never, ever happened in all of history.
That is a positive claim that demands proof (for which there is none)

Even if that were the case, it is no longer the subject under
discussion. The subject is the plausibility of something, and then your
categorical statement that it has never EVER happened.

I don't need any evidence because I haven't claimed it has happened. I
said that it is possible. You made the claim that it has never happened,
that is the claim that needs evidence.

Red herring and irrelevant. All possible hypothetical scenarios are not
equally unlikely. Just because I can say with assurance that for example
no man has ever hopped to the moon on a pogo-stick has nothing to do
with the likelihood of any other hypothetical scenario. You're trying to
cloud the issue because you've been caught red-handed making a
ridiculous claim.

No we're not, that was just the beginning of the discussion. You have
made a subsequent claim which you are now in full-out retreat from.

The headline said one horse.

I don't want you to let it go, you put this hook in your own mouth and
I'm not taking it out until YOU admit you messed up. Admit that there is
no way in the world that you can make the categorical statement that NO
person has ever killed an animal for being gay.

Weak.

Take it one step at a time and you will come to understand. Animals..
common, killing animals, common, despising homosexual behavior, common.
It all adds up to plausibility. Little green men.. irrelevant.

Not the issue any more.

Do you need quotes? You called religion "abusive". I think the word vile
came into it too.
> I believe in freedom of religion and expression. You do not.
Do you believe some people should be allowed to impose codes of dress on
other people using "God" as an excuse?
