Christian group books anti-gay ads to appear on buses

[Aegrus]

Sadly, false. Do you really think that they'll listen to logic or science? They fight our laws, and we must fight theirs or be overwhelmed. No amount of logic will best bias, and it's bias that we therefore need to fight. If we remain silent and allow them to defame homosexuals, public opinion will be swayed and we'll lose a decade of progress overnight. People are idiots, and we can't fight bias with beliefs and heartfelt appeals to rationality. We need to stop them, even if your sad excuse for idealism is insulted by it.

I said nothing about remaining silent. Stop distorting my words. We will resist- just not in a way that infringes on their rights. (At least until they infringe on our rights- but this bus ad doesn't do that.)

It truly is stunning that you spend so much time arguing logically on this forum, only to completely turn around and cry without proof about imminent persecution justifying preemptive action and the futility of logic the moment it suits you. How very like a fundy.

Do I have to spell it out for you? People listen to every ad they see. How long before it's illegal not to be "treated" for a "disorder" like homosexuality? Gay people are already routinely beat up and killed, and it will increase in severity and frequency with every homophobic ad that appears. Do you want their blood on your hands? Would you rather respect Hitler's right to hate Jews until he carries it into political office and does something with his hate?

People don't listen to every ad they see. How many times have you looked at a fundy ad and thought that it was ridiculously stupid? Many other people do the same- even moderates. Again, you display shocking arrogance.

As for Hitler- again- if Hitler arrives, fight Hitler. Don't create him because you think that it's in some cases okay to trample another person's right to freedom of speech.
