It's nice to know you endorse government involvement/interference in the private lives of its citizens to that degree.

Where do you think the gay concentration camps should be erected?

Should we put ALL gay people in them,or just the "prancy" ones who don't "keep their antics to a minimum?"

Well spoken.

Homosexuality is perfectly normal and natural, seeing as how it occurs in nature, normally.

You know, of all the complete nonsense and BS I see on the internet (and that's a LOT of nonsense and BS!) I think this baseless, ludicrous idea that Christians are somehow marginalized, persecuted or mistreated in most areas of the world is the most nonsensical and full of BS.

The vast majority of people in this nation (and many, many others) self-identify as Christian. Most recent stats I've seen are that three-fourths of all Americans state they are Christian.

Christians in this country (and all around the Western World) have their own schools, their own radio stations, their own record labels, their own publishing companies, their own television networks, their own retail business chains, their own advertising firms, and on and on.

And this is leaving aside the fact you cannot drive three blocks in any American town without seeing at least one church or church billboard ad. Not to mention the increase of huge mega-churches cropping up all over the place. The churches that seat thosands of congregants.

And that's fine! This is all well and good, and as it should be. This is a free country and in no way do I think Christians (or any other believers or nonbelievers) should be prevented from practising their faith (or other beliefs)...I would be the first one on the streets protesting and fighting against attempts to hinder anyone from building a church or other house of worship, starting a faith-based business or generally practicng their faith.

But let's not pretend that Christians are in any way, shape or form marginalized, persecuted, discriminated against or otherwise mistreated in this half of the world or most of the rest of the world.

Because again, that is nothing but complete, baseless, ridiculous nonsense and BS.

I would argue that hateful, fearful ignorance and bigotry is far more deviant and demoralizing than homosexuality.

Gays, lesbians, transgender, has morals too. It being treated as an equal.
IOC should relocate the Olympics to Vancouver since the new law doesn't represent Olympic value.
Boycott should be reserve for the sponsors and seat purchase.

The gay "rights" movement, the mainstream media, one national political party, and close-minded bigots on the left are continually demonizing conservative Christians as backwards, homophobic, bigoted, and stupid.

Don't tell me they're not marginalized. I know damn well they are.

And how many primetime television shows have been made glamorizing conservative Christians? Exactly ZERO. I could list 10 programs glorifying the gay lifestyle.

American culture glorifies gays and demonizes Christians as unsophisticated bigoted morons.

I have no doubt there must be some conservative "Christians" who aren't "backwards, homophobic, bigoted, and stupid."

But all you have to do is read some of the posts by posters who call themselves conservative Christians to see that many ARE "backwards, homophobic, bigoted, and stupid".

No, you're the one who failed. Maths is a British term and perfectly acceptable..
