I have. Which is why I'm still asking.
You restate your original premise a lot- that the people this thread was started about weren't acting in accordance with christian beliefs- but then when you're given real, tangible and written proof to the contrary you just go "nuh uh, not according to my personal metric" without once telling us why that should carry any weight.
But since you've apparently already answered, it shouldn't be too hard to go back and quote it for us here, no? I mean, I wouldn't want to do it myself and risk misinterpreting you or putting words in your mouth. I wouldn't want you to have to misuse the term bigot again.
Quote:Seriously? Are you Ignorant or illiterate? I've established a direct correlation (several times now) between the official definition of the word bigot, http://oald8.oxfordlearnersdictionaries....nary/bigot and the on going unreasonable beliefs about the Christian religion even after an exhaustive effort. It all boils down to you all not wanting to listen to anyone who disagrees with your bigoted closed minded view of Christianity.
Except that a bigot isn't just someone who disagrees with you. And we all disagree with you on what you're choosing to label as bigotry. All you're doing is trying to use an emotionally charged word to shut us all down, and it's not going to work, you disingenuous fuck.
EXACTLY!
They cant see what we do outside the net in our daily lives. They think everyone we work with or know or and all our family members are atheists. They also cant grasp that I can like someone without liking everything they claim.
I can't tell you as a kid how many times my mom, or a teacher, or friend said to me "No, knock it off, your wrong". I didn't assume they hated me.
Another example:
Car driver ignoring red light ahead playing with their cell phone.
Passenger "Hey, put that thing down you are coming to a red light, and you shouldn't be talking on that while driving anyway"
Car driver, "Shut up, I can do what I want"
Passenger, "No you are going to run that red light"
Car driver, "BIGOT, WHY DO YOU HATE ME"
That is what Drich and people of all beliefs do. It is protecting one's ego rather than considering that they are wrong. So they call us bigots like you said to attempt to make us look bad and shut the conversation down.
