You're reading way too much into this. All I said was that it's acceptable to use a phrase like "Christian crazies" on this forum, but that a similar comment about any other background would be met with at least a warning here if not more.

That was not a vote of support for intolerance of any kind.
no hun, I'm not reading too much into it.. I'm asking you a question..
DO YOU BELIEVE IT IS OK TO HIDE BEHIND CHRISTIANITY IN PROMOTING INTOLERANCE??
it's a simple question... and if you don't.. WOULD YOU CONSIDER PEOPLE THAT DO TO BE A BIT CRAZY IN ATTEMPTING TO JUSTIFY IT??

????????????????
answer the questions
yes, yes, no, no, yes no, no, yes??

So if someone here called you a "perverted f _ _", and I won't use the word, because I DON'T use the word ever, you wouldn't have a problem with that? Come on, you and I both know you would be very pissed off about it, and I would be too. If I saw it first I would report it before you did. And I've said some things here that I shouldn't have in response to people, but I try to be careful not to single out any group of people and concentrate on the individual.

We don't have to agree with each other about anything, but I wouldn't sit here and look the other way when someone used a slur against you. If it's wrong, it's always wrong.

I understand that. It wasn't a reference to you being gay. It was a reference to both of you replying to me in the same thread at the same time. You know what? If it came off any other way, I'm sorry. Seriously.

Didn't I already say that it's not OK?
But that doesn't mean I have to agree with you that it's crazy.
There used to be a time when simply telling you that I agree that it's not OK was enough.

Not anymore.

And that's not liberalism.

no you didn't tell me you didn't agree.. you said "what makes you think I agree?"
so.. if you don't agree... why do you not agree?

there is no right to marry. marriage is a false manmade institution.

Maybe a little perspective is in order at this point.

Ms. California and her kind-of-but-not-really bare boobies is not what's keeping you from getting married, if in fact you actually want to get married.

I brought this up in another thread but I'll do it again here anyway.

Are you aware that President Obama has stated on the record that he believes marriage is a union between a man and a woman.

Is he crazy?

This is open to anyone who wants to take a stab at it.
