Your turn, you made an assertion, which groups do you feel are unfairly listed on there
Is that your criteria or the SPLC's criteria?

If it's their criteria, will you please post a link to it?

"Family Research Council believes that homosexual conduct is harmful to the persons who engage in it and to society at large, and can never be affirmed. It is by definition unnatural, and as such is associated with negative physical and psychological health effects. "
It's a belief system. Nothing violent about it.

I don't find it hateful either.

People operating on emotion and not logic will never grasp this.
You dont have to call a storm a hurricane to know that 150 mph wind can destroy buildings and that is the flaw in your premise.

Your goal here is not to define a "hurricane", it never was.

your argument is that the SPLC is bs. That means proving them wrong, not simply stating that their criteria needs to be defined .

Your argument is akin to saying "there is no hurricane Irma, its just a myth and all the meteorologist are lying "

It's on their website in plain view

You've never been on their website, you don't even know how to find their website, yet you make all these claims about them. That is the definition of ignorant

I already copied and pasted their criteria word for word, if you can't back up your own statements, then you're either just messing with me or you just dug yourself into a hole and can't get out so you're deflecting.

You do not have to be violent to also be hateful. Thats a misconception.

there are plenty of white supremacist who have never harmed a fly, that doesnt mean they arent hateful.

But the intention is what is important. I'm just going by the brief line you posted about the FRC. I don't know anything else about them.

From that line they have a belief system. How they put those beliefs into action is what I focus on. Sticks and stones ya know?
