Nope. I know enough Christians in RL -- literally hundreds -- to know that the vast majority of them are very nice people who are too polite to comment on other peoples' sexuality.
Quote:All I have done is 1) pointed out the core issue/belief of Christianity, 2) attempted to explain that it has more to do with the definition of marriage than telling people what they can and can't do, and 3) explained that most accusation leveled at Christians are some combination of mischaractizations, demonizing, straw men, and red herrings. If you have a problem with my conduct, you are simply not capable of having a civil discussion on this topic.
You think that *I'm* the one who's incapable of having a civil discussion? Heeheeheeheehee!
I'm pretty sure we all know the core issues and beliefs of Christianity, mainly because you talk about little else.
Get that fucking 2x4 out of your eye and stop pretending that "the definition of marriage" is somehow the monopoly of religious communities. It's not. It's currently a civil institution as well as a religious one, and if you think you can use your beliefs to interfere with the civil rights of other people, you've got another thing coming.
