That was my thought when I read it anyway, that he just forgot to type the NOT as we all sometimes do when our minds go faster than our fingers and we don't read what we typed before we hit send.
Exactly. I noticed the typo after it was too late to change it.

Well history proves that so why would that be a bad thing to understand?

Whenever hat happens, just report your own post, with the correction noted. A mod will fix it for you.

I think ALL people should be living where they want and if someone else doesn't like it, that person can read the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Then they can get over themselves.

If it were applied fairly to all people it would be nice but that does not happen in America. Some get special care and others are denied their civil rights. As a Christian I believe all people should be treated fairly and justly. I don't believe we should force anyone to believe something they do not or to agree with or support things they do not believe in. We need to have real civil rights and not a select list and select groups.

I guess that's a step up from the post in the other thread where you posted that it was clear according to the bible that homosexuals should be put to death. Perhaps you disagree with the bible on that point which would be good to know.

But maybe instead of the people you disagree with having to go to a "protected" place, Christians should all be put in one instead?

I did not write the bible. I just acknowledge what it say's. Do you think it does not say what it says? I don't understand why you would take issue with my admitting a fact.

I would like to be able to live in a place where I am protected and allowed to live my life as I choose. Why would you not think people should be allowed to do so? Would you rather kill those you disagree with? Force them to change and accept your teachings? Are you Hitler?

Do they think all people should be free and have their civil rights protected too? That's great. Why do you think some people should not be allowed to be free and have civil rights?

You should definitely hang out with Viz. He asks questions rather than answering them too! Plus there's that whole thing with twisting around what other people say to make it look like the other person is a big ol' meanie. Many of the CD fundamentalists do that too! I You guys should start a club and have a secret handshake.
