Yabut, what if god sodom and gomorrahs the US for supporting sinful behavior....or what if some christers eternal soul is damned to hell for the contents of their own conscience or supporting equality under law, or the secular legal structure of the US?
If every god fearing christian doesn;t do their level best to shit on the people (jewish) magic book says to shit on.......are they even True Christians? Isn;t that the (bad, double-plus ungood) government infringing on their religious rights, somehow?
Some People™ suffer from a base and common fear, suspicion, and intolerance of that other™ that they have never had to directly confront. The irony of the arguments proposed as a rationalization is that they are..on so many levels, worse than simply holding such a bias. We're not entirely in control of our biases..either their origins or their continued presence within us. It may be uncomfortable to acknowledge that in some specific sense we are bigoted, but that doesn't diminish the reality of that fact. We may desire to vomit up a laundry list of ad hoc shit to deflect from that realization...but here again the fact of the matter remains.
Bigots are bigots. They are bigots when they contend that god told them to be bigots. They are bigots when they contend to have arrived at their bigotry all by their one-sies..that this bigotry was coincidentally, and conveniently, justified post facto by magic books. Thing is, people can be bigots. It's when the vacuum of their bigoted views become an impetus to action that it becomes intolerable. Bigots should feel free..by all means, to not date a black guy, or not blow somebody..or marry a guy named Bill for all of the bigoted reasons their withered hearts can conjure up, lol. They should feel free to strongly dislike a stranger for reasons they will refuse to acknowledge in polite company. I could go on and on..but the one thing they are not free to do, is to allow their personally held bigotry to create a two class system within US law.
