I think Christian fundamentalism is a threat to society and our children... I don't care if those people exist, or what they do in their churches and homes, but keep them away from our children. If they want to work with children, I think they should have to disclose their religious beliefs, and allow the parents to decide if they should be allowed to work there. Their disgusting lifestyle and behavior will erode our society, but I don't hate them - I am just speaking the truth and looking out for our CHILDREN!!!

Sound like a fair and tolerant view to you?

I'm not discussing Christian fundamentalism - whatever that is.

Why can't you stay on topic?

I do not, so why do you mischaracterize my position?
So if a Nazi were to say Jews are a disgusting group of people who need to be locked up, I should tolerate that view?

And yet, you claim gays are disgusting and deviant and shouldn't be around children because they might molest them.

How is your belief any better than a Nazi's belief towards Jews? What's the difference?

You thought I made that myself? Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I don't even know how to use Photoshop... buy a sense of humor, LOL.

we live by our own morals not yours. your "right" on this issue is completely wrong for me.
a gay parent, teacher is not a danger to children. supporting gay rights will not harm or erode society.
showing an intolerance of gays, standing in the way of full civil rights is hateful.

You know what Christian fundamentalism is, but apparently you don't know what an analogy is. Gawd, this is getting old... maybe it's time to finally put you on ignore?

We aren't discussing civil rights - we are talking about gay marriage.

It is an absolute waste of time to rationalize with an irrational person

I know what an analogy is - what I don't know why you were directing it to me.

It is irrelevant to the discussion. I have no opinion on what you think should apply to CF's.

We are discussing gay marriage in this thread - which is a moral question.

It has nothing to do with any religious sect. It has to do with natural law.
