(11,417 posts)I can't wait until there are no churches. I know some churches do good but taken as a whole religion is a negative force in human activity.
The very concept that we should make laws respecting a religious person's bigotry just blows my mind.
I was at a gathering of my brother's house. He is a priest and this was a group of his church goers. They asked why didn't my wife come along. Well my wife stayed home because her sister and her sister's wife were visiting. When I related that to the church goers you could have heard a pin drop. One person even thought I made a verbal mistake. Now in their world I should have respected their beliefs and not said honestly why my wife wasn't there.
Fuck that shit.

(146,218 posts)Is that a fact based statement or just your belief?

There is no way to answer your question and you know that.
Good game playing though,

(146,218 posts)I could back it up, or, alternatively, express it as a belief.
It's a zero sum game and not really that much fun.

(33,615 posts)or just your opinion?
I'm just funning with you.
cbayer
(146,218 posts)Unless you want to make the argument that bigotry is good?
edhopper
(33,615 posts)in this case, cause God approves and they are doing what's right by Him.
Keeping those gays out of Christian businesses and all.
cbayer
(146,218 posts)that the world would be a better place if bigotry did not exist.
It's a very strong belief, too.
I was just expressing how they see it
The want to codify discrimination. There is no way to see that except protecting bigotry in the law.
They are all right with bigotry and embrace it.
So they would disagree with this being a fact;
"It's a fact based truth that bigotry is bad and we would all be better off without it."
They think bigotry is good, it is called upon by God.
cbayer
(146,218 posts)but they wouldn't consider their position bigoted.
they would use some orwellian religious bullshit to say why their objectively bigoted crap don't smell.
