billvon 2,998 #254 May 7, 2009 I'll answer your question if you answer mine. If someone didn't want negroes near his children, and didn't want them marrying into good white families - does that make him a bigot? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,998 #255 May 7, 2009 >so anyone that doesn't believe as you do is a bigot. ?? Nope. People who believe that a group (homosexuals, blacks, jews) is inferior based purely on that one characteristic, and who take offense when they try to live a normal life, are bigots. That's sort of the definition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, people who think that people sexually attracted to their own gender are as bad as convicted violent criminals, or indeed any criminals, are bigots.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Anyone who slams Christians based purely on the fact that they're Christian (or, more accurately, who believes Christians are inferior and who takes offense at them living a normal life) is a bigot.

Quotethe bible doesn't (as far as I know) say what sins are better or worse, just that they are sins. therefor sinning is bad according to the bible and being gay is a sin. we are not talking laws but religious beliefs. In the eyes of the law yes, but the discussion was about values and beliefs, not laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's a Judeo-Christian religion, then it is teaching that homosexuality is on par with rape, murder, and eating a shrimp cocktail. And yet, nobody is arguing for a ban on Red Lobster Amendment.

In the eyes of the law yes, but the discussion was about values and beliefs, not laws "It's my religion" is not an excuse. It doesn't get you a free pass. It doesn't make bigotry OK. Someone who thinks that being gay is comparable to committing rape because God says so is still a bigot.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
