Marriage discrimination struck down in Arkansas.

[A Theist]

Hey, same here. I tolerate you as well for having the views that you embrace, which also means I don't have to like or agree with your views either....same as with me, it doesn't mean I have to be silent when we disagree, (a fact you better get used to in life because not everybody is going to toe the line with your world view)....and that means as well that you're not going to be automatically rationally justified in having the views which you embrace. But, as has been shown, your side is not the most tolerant of opposing views and opinions.

You do understand that nobody here is demanding you be silent, right? I mean, the thread is, what, fourteen pages of people jousting back and forth over this issue, I don't think that implies a lack of willingness to have these beliefs out there.

What I will do, however, is point out the inconsistencies in your reasoning, if I feel that they're there. Which is all I've done here.

No. I never said that. I just think some of you guys need to be reminded every so often that there's others who have different view points from the ones some of you have. The jousting back and forth is fine, but when debates deteriorate to personal attacks and name calling over differences of opinions no one can claim tolerance. If you disagree with me that's fine. There's no way that I expect my views to be accepted by the majority here. That's the nature of this forum. I have no problem with it. I do think we could debate issues without a lot of the hostility over disagreements though. But, I can handle that too.
