There are two obvious answers to that:
  1. All of human history
  2. God

So, God is a bigot?

The "dude" you refer to was God.

stop ignoring the question of what gives YOU or your religion the right to tell others how to live their lives

Wrong. Nice try though.

Sure, why not? The way people like you portray God, he's already a sniveling, bipolar, jealous busy body prone to fitful rages, murderous inclinations and overly obsessed with rule making and sexual purity.... so if we're ascribing human characteristics to god, being a bigot is probably the least of his flaws.

The "dude" you refer to was God.
If it is possible for an imaginary deity to be a bigot, then yes, he was a bigot.

I would be completely fine with Gay marriage if there was a way to 100% know for sure that both parties were born Gay. But there is no way to know for sure. It's a fact that some are Gay because of abuse and neglect as children. So to me, sanctioned homosexuality is nothing but a continuance of that abuse.

It is also "bigoted" to oppose polygamous and incestuous marriages.

It could be.

But it's not bigoted to point out that polygamous marriages are unworkable under the current framework of marriage.

2nd point...not in the eyes of God.
Those churches that do that shouldn't even call themselves a church anymore IMHO.
Your bigotry and judging of others is not going to get you much favor in the eyes of God either, I am afraid. Judge not, lest... etc.

W.T.F.


That's your thought process? Really?


Let's assume you are right. We will assume ONLY for the sake of argument, because it is NOT a "FACT" that some people are gay because of abuse and neglect as children. It's not. But let's assume you're correct to analyze your thought process:


A person becomes some way because of trauma, and your compassionate conservatism tells you that you should prevent them from being happy and marrying because that would be a "continuance of that abuse"?



Seriously?

Sure it is, who are you to say that they are "unworkable" And who are you to define marriage for everyone else?

That counter argument sounds pretty familiar eh?
