Nice way to get the slam in on Oakland at the same time your dissing someone else for being an "a-hole". Hypocrisy no?

if you called Jesus "jesus" to his face he would probably say (in aramaic) my name is "Yeshua", who is this jesus that you speak of?"

Going back to your original post, You would be accepted everywhere... just don't be a jerk on letting your personal views of how you should live, affect the personal lives of how others should live (and that goes across the board)

This thread in a nutshell (but substituting gay for atheist):

Feel free to skip the Bay Area, OP. Topeka, Kansas welcomes you with open arms.

Where in the bay area would a family who believed in traditional marriage be accepted? Thanks
Lol what, the entire country isn't enough room for you to hate?

I make that assumption about you because I have never seen hostility towards traditional couples otherwise.

Nor have I experienced it -- being half of one.

San Francisco. I personally know of a number of happy heterosexual couples there. Haven't heard any complaints. One couple got a civil union there, another got married*.

Because you're using "bigotry" to combat "bigotry". And the fact that your ironic hypocrisy is lost on you is mind boggling. You're only tolerant to people that think like you do; there's no nobility in that whatsoever.

I clarified my comments very early on. Is there an area in the Bay area that is accepting of conservative Christians who do not believe that the word marriage needs to be redefined to include homosexuals? If the posts in this thread are an indication of the populous of that area at large, than the answer is a definitive "no".

Sorry sweetheart, but not tolerating ignorance is a GOOD thing. It's how society progresses. Cling to religious beliefs all you want, but they are rooted in logical fallacies. I see you are bored, which is why you're bumping this thread. I suggest you either read your Bible more carefully and practice Christian principles, OR read it more carefully to see how many glaring contradictions are found in it. Either way, it'll give you something more productive to do than troll people on a message board on the opposite side of the country.

Move along now. This thread was thankfully DEAD and there was no need for you to dig it up again. Find something else to do with your time rather than pine for more negative attention for yourself and your sad and regressive ideology.

Yet you chose to respond....Why not just ignore the OP and the entire thread?
