I don’t understand how he sees some things very clearly but so blind on this issue. Granted he is a bisexual atheist and really hates Christianity. Probably because of Christianity’s stance on homosexuality
This is the real problem with the old 2000s "atheist" or "skeptic" crowd. Very few of them are actually committed to the principles of empiricism or rationalism as they claim to be. Their atheism is intellectually bankrupt and hypocritical from the start because it's motivated by emotion: usually resentment.
Whether JSG resents Christians because of the Biblical stance on homosexuality, or whether he's just holding on to some adolescent resentment towards his parents and attacking Christianity because he felt alienated by his own Christian upbringing, none of these are good reasons to call yourself an atheist, and that basis undermines literally all of his arguments.
He therefore can't form a coherent thought when he's debating with religious people on this or any other issue, especially not with Christians, even though Christianity probably has the softest approach to homosexuality out of any major modern religion.
Saying you don't support the anti-groomer bill just because Christians do support is is like saying you don't believe in God because you don't like what people have done in His name, or like saying you don't believe in physics because of nuclear weapons. It doesn't make any sense, and the more you point that out, the angrier he'll get.
is like saying you don't believe in God because you don't like what people have done in His name
That is exactly what the Atheist community is like. Not all atheists, no, but by and large it's just anti-Christians and to a lesser extent anti-religion in general. Nothing to do with whether a creator god exists or not.

They say they don’t believe in God, but they still hate Him.
Ironically, this hate lets them be possessed by a spirit of rebellion.
You know, like Lucifer.
