No. 'Better' is a word to describe relative value against some sort of scale. There is no 'better' in changing the definition of marriage. It is just simply changing it.
Nope again. Thinking something is immoral does not ever equal bigotry. A charge of bigotry is positive claim. It is not the null hypothesis or the default position when someone thinks something is immoral. I think many things are immoral. Does that make me bigoted toward prostitutes, drug dealers, people who steal, people cheating on their spouse, people stealing cable? No--that's nonsense. You can't ever make an argument that a position on issue x automatically makes you a bigot. Definitions of these words prevent you from doing that. Of course you could always redefine them--seems to be your thing.
big·ot·ry
ˈbiɡətrē/
noun
- intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.
Why does it have to impact me in order for me to have an opinion?
The reason I participated in the idiotically-named thread is that a bunch of atheists prefer to mischaracterize the Christian position on homosexuality, they apply shitty reasoning to people's motives, and they continue to propagate polarizing rhetoric that is founded on nonsense.
You're not expressing an opinion.
Then you have comprehension problems.
Quote:You're the one freaking out about a word definition change, so it makes me wonder why. Do you freak out at people when they claim they're "literally dying?" Just curious, because they added a definition to account for dumb-asses who do that.
So, has the change impacted you? You keep dodging the question like it would fucking kill you to answer it.
To my knowledge I am not impacted (never even implied such). I don't have to be to correct misguided and unthinking atheists. I'm practicing, there are lots of opportunities.
