That is precisely what I just said, and in the line you quoted
...huh? Which part is what you said?
"So you're not claiming that religious Conservatives are more prone to error than religious Liberals?" <- Is that what you just said? That is, you just said, "I'm not claiming that religious Conservatives are more prone to error than religious Liberals?"
Or do you mean that you just said, "religious Conservatives are more prone to error than religious liberals"?

My point is that calling something 'common knowledge' isn't a convincing argument.

"It's pretty simple: marriage is between a man and a woman. This is a historic doctrine driven deep into the Bible, both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament, and it's a perfect example of what I mean by the rise of paganism. The effort to create alternatives to marriage between a man and a woman are perfectly natural pagan behaviors, but they are a fundamental violation of our civilization."
-Newt Gingrich
"Any of you who have members of your family that are in the lifestyle — we have a member of our family that is. This is not funny. It's a very sad life. It's part of Satan, I think, to say this is "gay". It's anything but gay."
-Michele Bachmann
"I had Piers Morgan call me a bigot. Because I believe what the Catholic Church teaches with respect to homosexuality, I'm a bigot. So now I'm a bigot? Because I believe what the Bible teaches. Now, 2,000 years of teaching and moral theology is now bigoted! And of course we don't elect bigots to office. We don't give them professional licenses. We don't give them preferential tax treatment. If you're a preacher and you preach bigoted things, you think you're gonna be allowed to have a 501©(3) as a church? Of course not. No, this has profound consequence! To the entire moral ecology of America! It will undermine the family; it will destroy faith in America!"
-Rick Santorum
"We have a war on our moral fiber. We will not allow the godless few to destroy our moral foundation."
-Herman Cain, in response to Georgia's constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage
"As conservatives we believe in the sanctity of life. We believe in the sanctity of traditional marriage. And I applaud those legislators in New Hampshire who are working to defend marriage as an institution between one man and one woman, realizing that children need to be raised in a loving home by a mother and a father."
-Rick Perry
Okay! Your turn!
That's good evidence that Gingrich, Bachmann, Santorum, Cain, and Perry don't support same-sex marriage. I'm not sure it's good evidence that Republicans are largely proud of viewing homosexuals as less than human.
