Not according to the -actual- defintion of phobia.
:doh
According to the ACTUAL definition of phobia it is. :doh

As I said -- a designer defition, not related to an -actual- phobia.
Funny how it is the only one that supports you, while numerous others do not.The American Heritage dictionary is an authoritative source. Also was the very first one I came across.
You're right -- because I am right.I didn't make you wrong.

No.... being correct, as proven, makes me correct.You can say it till you are blue in the face but it doesn't make you correct.
I'm sorry that you simply cannot admit the clear and present truth of the situation, that you have cherry-picked a definition on the sole basis that you like that defintion, and have similarly chosen to ignore all of the authoritative definitions that show you are wrong.I don't know what you want me to do about you being wrong. If you figure out a plan for remedying the situation, let me know, but until then, you just have to learn to live with being wrong. :shrug:
Sure I did! I agreed that homosexuality is a sin...nothing more.
Don't presume to know my religious convictions just because you've read a few posts by me. I'm a long way from being as you say...a religious "fundamentalist". People who start religious cults are religious fundamentalist (not to mention nuts cases). I'm a long way from being cultish.

Nothing I can do about you willfully choosing to be wrong, and since you -choose- to be wrong, there's no reason tfor me to continue to illustrate this to you.

I admitted that you were wrong, I demonstrated that you were wrong, and offered to help alleviate your affliction. But you must help yourself first.
There's nothing else I can do for you until you want to be right. You have to want it. Right now, you seem content with being wrong. That's your choice.
Homophobia is a range of negative attitudes and feelings towards homosexuality and people identified or perceived as being homosexual. Definitions[1][2][3] refer variably to antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, and irrational fear.
In the eyes of God...yes. He has an extreme dislike for those who have sexual relations with members of the same sex.Do you agree that it (homosexuality) is an abomination?
Do you think there is a dictionary 12 step program somewhere out there? If so, I can think of at least 2 posters who need it.

I could have only 'skipped over' that 'second defintion' if said defintion were present in any of the cites I presented. That it was not defeats your point and reinforces mine.
But wait - here's more:
-combining form extreme or irrational fear or dislike of a specified thing:
AskOxford: -phobia
-an exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object, class of objects, or situation
Phobia - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
-An unreasonable sort of fear that can cause avoidance and panic. Phobias are a relatively common type of anxiety disorder.
Phobia definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms easily defined on MedTerms
-A phobia is an intense but unrealistic fear that can interfere with the ability to socialize, work, or go about everyday life, brought on by an object, event or situation.
Phobias - definition of Phobias in the Medical dictionary - by the Free Online Medical Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
Well except for one that ... does. :shock:Interesting how none of these defintions include in any way the terms 'dislike' or 'contempt'.
In the eyes of God...yes.
I was curios, so I decided to see what Wiki said about Homophobia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
You believe that homosexuals are an abomination in the eyes of God.
True or false?
By the way, your dancing is lovely.
Do you have a quote of what the preacher said? And the volume at which it was said? Please share. I can't help but feel you are witholding information.
I was referring to the verses provided by Objective Voice which did in fact use the term as justification for why homosexuality is a sin.
Trust him. He's an expert on the subject.
No abomination reference. You've been busted again making up information.
So, do you believe that homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of God, Tex?
That doesn't mean anyone should be harassing and condemning gay people, in fact, that is more of a sin IMO than being gay.
Nope I do not.
