If I make the claim that I know the president of the United States personally and I tell this to everyone I meet, what would you think? Am I humble or arrogant?
You are arrogant for bragging about who you know.
Now change the word "president" to "god". Are you now humble or arrogant?

Being gay is a choice. The Bible even says being gay is a sin.
If being gay is a choice then when did you choose to be straight? Sin is a man-made concept, sin does not exist. The Bible says slavery is ok, so why do you think the Bible got it right on being gay?

You just don't get it, we couldn't be here without a designer. Look around, everything you see is designed, why not us?
Look around? All human-made things took years (or less) to design. Evolution happened through natural selection over billions of years. If you knew half of what science knows, your head would explode.
What's with these I'm now out, proud, loud and get over it, atheists?

Religious followers of Islam and religious followers of other religions did not want to criticize them for what they did because the religious claim their beliefs deserve undo respect.
