9 in 1O people believe that homosexuality is not a belief but rather a lifestyle.
And that’s where they are wrong. The remaining 10% are scientists and medical doctors who have studies the subject and do not have that belief.
It is the same thing as saying 4 billion people believe in a god so they must know more than the 1 million scientist who know how the universe actually works. Mass ignorance does not prove anything.
in addition, I rather doubt the validity of that ratio. It may be the case in the rural, small evangelical church L.B. belongs to, especially if the minister has pontificated from the pulpit to that effect.

Especially if you consider that somewhere between 5 and 10% of the population is LGBT, factor in family members and friends who actually love and accept them…that 9 out of 10 ratio falls flat right out the gate.
LuckyBezel, where do you get your ideas? None of them are factual and how can you state that what an atheist believes when you don’t seem to know anything about atheism.
Uh, what does it even mean for homosexuality to be a “belief” vs a “lifestyle”? Both sound like they imply choice. What are we even arguing about? It looks like LuckyBezel’s initial comment was just comparing converting believers to converting homosexuals, which is actually very hard since it isn’t a choice for them.
No, I think nine out of ten atheists are used to challenging irrational statements no matter how silly they may be.
I suppose it’s in response to the idea from Mein Kampf (paraphrased): If you tell enough lies the other side will not have the time to refute them all so people will believe the ones that have not been shown to be false.

Ok, I’m sorry. I was using hyperbole to amuse myself. There. I admit it.
