No, the way not to be seen as a bigot is to not espouse bigotry. When you don't support discriminatory and unjust laws, when you don't support people using their religion as an excuse to mistreat others, you don't get labelled as a bigot.

Neat how that works...

What is the point of attempting to discuss anything with you when you behave in this manner? You either do not bother reading what people write by way of responses to your posts, or you are incapable of understanding what is written. I base this on the extraordinary inappropriateness of your replies.
Welcome to fundie world. The same poster has pooh-pooed polls from six or seven sources including Fox News that gay marriage is acceptable to over 50% of the population. He called them "unscientific," while failing to provide a single source document of his own.

His replies reflect the fundie heart of dodge ball when it comes to responding to difficult questions.

I wish I could say he was unique--even on these threads--but, --------

What's funny is I explained to you why your polls were hogwash and you didn't have a response.

And by the way, I don't rely on Fox News and rarely if ever watch or read them as a news source, but of course you assume that out of pure ignorance.

I have excused no behavior. There is an obvious distinction, one which I explained, but none which I then used to excuse any behavior.

You provide me no reason to continue exchanging ideas with you, and several reasons not to continue, so I shall not.

Your explanation involved stating your opinion. You couldn't provide a statistical source for your opinion. Why not? If it's as obvious as your opinion makes it seem surely there is mathematical axiom somewhere. Statistics are purely mathematical. Presentation, such as BYU and Fox News did regarding same-sex marriage in Utah, is where liars do their work.

Statistics are not about YOU. They are about trends. Failure to understand and respond to trends creates dinosaurs. Welcome to Jurassic Park.

Typical. Can't make a good discussion point, thinks yelling will overcome a weak argument. Most of us learned back in grade school that doesn't work.

Most of us.

Those with nothing germane to say jump on typos.

Typical.
