When did I say I was a judge? COMPREHENSION is important as well as a\n understanding of the ENGLISH language?

BUT, since some insist on handing me the gavel, I will ask who has given evangelicals the "right" to judge the:

LGBT community

women who exercises her right to health care

Marginalized and attempt to strip health care from them

those in poverty and try to cut the support out from under them

I don't mind giving you one:

You, Vizio, Finn, Twin, DRob, Livelystone, ChoirBellower, Hushpreacher et al.

You're known by your rotten fruit.

Taking a little break from the mud slinging to address the original topic. I, who have a library card, have read The Shack. Based on that waste of time, I have no interest in reading the others.

You can't have a fruitful discussion under these standards.

Since you read it, care to share a reason or two why it was a waste of time?

Let's try to make the distinction ONE MORE TIME:
Bigotry= judgement without reason
Intellect= the use of reason.

Do you have the second quality enough to understand this?
