I'm sorry, but I don't understand the question.

You spoke about domain of Christianity. Who did you have in mind? Which of the two groups works in the domain?

I meant it in a legal sense in that it seems that Christianty does not have exclusive use or control of bigotry and intolerance, that it is found on the other side of this issue as well.

But, who are you using this argument of Christianity against? Both sides, neither or just one? And why?

Never said bigotry was limited to anyone. I DID say this "preacher" was teaching hate to a child, and the rest of his congregation.

Do you expect hate against a person would be greeted with anything other than hate in return?

I agree.

I might expect it, but that does not mean I approve of it. Do you?

Do I approve of death threats? no.
Is there any proof of death threats? no
Is there proof of hate on the churches part? yes

I'm sorry I don't blame people for things because someone said something was done. If there is proof of threats, beyond the "preacher" saying it happened, then those people are just as wrong as the preacher.

The difference is the "preacher" has legal recourse against any person who makes threats against him, if he has proof. The people that this, and other "preachers" are throwing their abuse on have no legal recourse.

There are obviously religious fanatics who look upon gays as evil, and sinners going to hell. There are even religious fanatics who picket the funerals of our soldiers too.

So in other words, no matter how many vile and awful things the Christian gay haters say about gay people, any response at all from a gay person is somehow evidence that the gay person is just as vile and awful as was described?

Sure sounds to me like that that's what you're saying.

Nope In my opinion the Homo's are way more bigoted than anyone, if you don't agree with them the name calling starts, they are very hypocritical.
