Yup.

That's fine you don't have to.

Keep your fucking religion. But maybe it's time for another update. You guys certainly were happy to jump ship on the whole "endorsing slavery" thing when it became inconvenient, maybe it's time to acknowledge that Leviticus got it wrong about the gays too.... The entire objection to homosexuality is one single…

But I also have to stand up for his right to think and say what he wishes.

False equivalence...

1) Thank you for explaining to me that something is or is not oppressing me. I'm sure you're in a position to offer brilliant insight on the matter. (Note: Don't fucking do that. It's usually the first response of a privileged person who is too comfortable with their world view to listen to something that might…

Oh god.... Well then, major props to your friend for keeping his cool.

HE IS A BORN AGAIN PREACHER! How does that make his brand of bigotry and hate any less disgusting?

Let's see....anti-Christian? You mean, "Hey, Christian people. Go ahead and do your thing, but please acknowledge that we're not interested in living by your values, and would prefer if you stopped attempting to pass laws in our secular government that force your beliefs upon us. Oh, and please stop being dicks to…

That you incredibly privileged, deeply ignorant, straight person. If you don't want to acknowledge the hate, then fine don't. But seriously, fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

While I agree that ALL CAPS, and facebook rants are both things that just shouldn't happen, I sympathize with the guy pretty strongly. While I'm refraining from that type of behavior, I'm every bit as pissed. Not "ALL CAPS RANTING" pissed, but"OMFG if some stupid bastard defends this fucker to my face, they're going…

Calling homosexuality a sin is anti-gay. So is calling gay people "shameful, perverse, heartless, faithless, senseless God haters... destined for the burning pits of hell." There isn't any other way to take that. And while there are 'degrees' of shitty homophobic behavior, ultimately stating or implying in any…

Well sure they believe that all people deserve freedom of speech. Don't be silly!

I wasn't suggesting that anyone was owed respect, or that we need laws to regulate things. Public backlash seems to be doing it's job on that front. Granted, if someone in America wants to pick a fight with a religion, I (personally) think Christianity should be the first up. Once it's finally (never going to…

I'm not disagreeing with most of your statements, but here's the line that I'm going to draw on this one:

This strikes me as a whole lot of 'meh' either way. It's not a bad gesture or anything, it's just that it doesn't seem to be much of anything at all as far as I'm concerned.

Filing this under "Hey douchebags, you're doing it wrong."

'MURICA!!!!!!

A completely fair point, but that's really not what I was getting at.

Some yes, most no. It's just that even the atheists seem to have a very "biblical" definition of marriage. Aka, the man is in charge and woman does whatever the fuck he says. The also seem to think that women are all gold diggers who lead men on/marry them in attempt to extort free dates/divorce settlements from…
