"Jesus would rather kill, not marry, gay people" - Franklin Graham
RE: "Jesus would rather kill, not marry, gay people" - Franklin Graham
(July 25, 2018 at 6:55 am)SteveII Wrote: You have a definition problem. Bigotry means intolerant of another opinion or belief. You can't come close to connecting the opinion that the definition should not change with intolerance. The amusing thing is that you have been told they are connected so loud and so long that you think they are. They aren't and you can't figure out why not.

You're intolerant of same-sex couples being able to get married.  You're intolerant of homosexual activities, if not homosexual people (although, I've never bought the "hate the sin, not the sinner" claptrap).  And, intolerance isn't just limited to opinions or beliefs, but people.  I know you love that dictionary.com definition (it pops up as my first search result, too), but Merriam-Webster has one that's more complete:

Quote:Obstinate or intolerant devotion to one's own opinions and prejudices

Your performance in this thread has been exactly that, demonstrated by your insistence that the definition/institution of marriage should not change, while supplying only appeals to authority and tradition as justification.  I mean, you haven't even acknowledged the fact that marriage in the United States is ultimately just a secular arrangement between couples and the government.  

It's, frankly, an embarrassing display.
