Don't like it then stop the bashing and let other people enjoy it. Plenty do.
Do you ever heed your own advice?

He doesn't feel it applies to him. Fundamentalist Christianity trumps everyone else's rights and freedoms.

And if the Fundamentalist Christian lobby don't meet with success each and every time they seek to legislate their morality on everyone else, they claim they are being persecuted.

*Cue jeff or maybe Vizio or some other fake, faith-bashing "Christian" to come on and talk about how they are being forced to love homosexuality or some other hateful, ignorant, hypocritical, bigoted nonsense...

We need our resident fundies to continue posting. When lurkers read their pathetic defenses of their bigoted beliefs, it only hastens the demise of fundanatics like themselves.

They dig their own graves with their words.

Encourage them to post often.

Typical deflection tactic. We are talking about Ken Ham here. Try to stay on topic. All you do is reinforce my negative stereotypes about atheists. Great job.

Nope, I just don't feel homosexual rights should trump everyone else's right. I fully believe you have the right to live a sinful life and follow the path of sin and death, as moronic and flat out stupid that choice is.

Punishing a person because they don't want to violate their religious convictions is a form of persecution.

Homosexual rights don't trump your rights, you too have the right to marry whom you love, you too have the right to a wedding cake, and the right all of the accoutrements you that you desire for your wedding day.

Exactly.

jeff now has the right to marry either the woman or the man he loves - should they also be willing - of course.

Same sex marriage is NOT gay privilege, it's equal rights.

Privilege would be something like gays not paying taxes. Like CHURCHES don't.
