I don't care about fcking fundamentalist anti-gay Christian assholes.What the fuck is a "bystanding BUDDHIST"? Wouldn't a "bystanding live and let live BUDDHIST" be exactly the sort of person to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple? You can't even figure out your own religion; no wonder such a simple issue has you up all night.

Just tell them that and you're in the clear. See? Problem solved. All of the other "bystanding live and let live BUDDHISTs" would, by definition, not make any effort to stop you.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
