No, but if you're religious in general and feel you absolutely must be exclusionary to people who don't walk in lockstep with your beliefs, for absolutely no reason than to stoke the exclusionary tendencies of others, then yes, that makes you a dick.
Quote:Look, you are dealing with a diverse public and everyone....including public officials, have a right to imply what it means to be a proper american. If you don't like the public official....vote him out of office.
But I don't have the right to imply that such behavior is dickish?
Large parts of the gay community exclude people who support the notion that marriage is between a man and woman or people who support the notion that homosexuality is a sin.
Does that make the gay community dicks?
