Bingo. Similarly, I don't get to hang a sign and discriminate against a protected class, because I would be committing a crime.

Not Christians, fundamentalist Christians.

I have no problem whatsoever with the average, sane, fair-minded Christian. Thankfully, they are in the majority.

While the constant, impotent bellowing from the fundie sects heralds their disappearance into the tar pits of irrelevance.

Your brand is dying out, jeff.

Sometimes kicking and screaming.

Oh, and we've had a Conservative government led by an Evangelical prime minister for the past decade.

Gotta get with the times, Jeff, me old boy.
I don't consider advancement of immorality to be progress.

Then I will know it is truly the last days and I can look forward to the end of wickness on this earth and the 1000 year reign with Christ.


"At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,
and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,
but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved."

Matthew 24:13

Men like you have attacked and mocked the Word of God all throughout history, but it has survived and never changes. Men who are now dust and bones, long forgotten in their mockery.

Discrimination is not criminal activity. It is a civil offense.

It is indeed the last days for fundamentalism.

Thank God.

How about working out a solution that can respect freedom of religion while not going overboard with discrimination? And no one wants to return the civil rights era, cmon. Seriously?

It's sad that you hold so much venom for good hearted Bible believing Christians who just want to love people, but not be forced to do something against God's laws. Hermain Cain's facebook post yesterday now has 71K likes. That's at least a stadium full of people who think you are WRONG. We want nothing to do with gay marriage. NOTHING.
