Why would you think that? I originally stated that christians can't burn people anymore. In your snarky response you asserted that:

I believe muslims are covered by "anyone else", since I already covered your particular brand of superstition.

I can see why you would think that. Again, given that A) This is the Christianity forum and B) I'm a Christian and C) Christians are typically taken to task for the treatment of heretics in the past, then my use of the phrase "anyone else" could be understood as being limited to Christians - in this context.

I actually did consider ISIS, but I really didn't want to go there.

Apology accepted.

Of all the people currently active in this forum, rob, I predict you are the one MOST likely to accept Christianity at some point in your life.

FWIW.

I will gladly invite you to my pagan wedding celebration, Randy. I'll even make sure to save for you some cake a nice, willing, reasonable baker would make. We can have a nice discussion about the cosmological argument after the party, and have a good time.

Because apparently, as a sexually perverted and immoral atheist I have more christian spirit than our resident fervently catholic believer. Oh well.

That would greatly depend on your definition of "Christian spirit", but you could be right.

There may be some surprises when we finally get to see who has been invited to the wedding of the Lamb. You may be there and I may not. We'll see soon enough.

Boy, I hope not. You stick to kissing a tyrant's ass for eternity, I'll go have fun in hell.

And oooh, death threats!! Mah favorite

Gay atheists don't punish the bigots - the law does. Of course I don't expect you to understand the difference, since you obviously have a very infantile perception of reality. You're a grown man, who still has a bogey-man under his bed...

Also - go read up on "irony", because I think you got your definition from an Alanis Morissette song.

I'm aware of the distinction and how the laws are being crafted and used to punish people who do not accept the LGBT agenda.

Just out of curiosity, why would a gay couple even WANT a cake baked by a Christian store which is openly hostile to the whole event?

Are they being rewarded financially by the courts? Are they just engaging in their own brand of civil rights activism like refusing to sit in the back of the bus?

Weddings are stressful enough without this hassle...why don't gay couples just choose gay florists and avoid the media circus?

• J. Warner Wallace
  
• Lee Strobel
  

and too many others to list? Yeah. EXACTLY like that.

We'll see...

Haha, you crack me up, Randy.

Oh wait, no you don't. You remind me that our species still has a loooong way to go with every contribution you make to this here forum.
