Yes most of it has to do with race, but I am seeing a change in the winds. since pop culture will not tolerate bigoted hate with race or sexual orientation anymore, but it now allows the hate and selfrighteous superiority to live and thrive against everything Christian. I do not understand how you can justify your words here. Can you not see your own intolerance and projected self righteousness (what basically you are accusing me of) while you are tring to paint me into a category that you 'feel' it is safe to hate on.
Otherwise, If you are not Christian then what does it matter to you how I classify homosexuality? Does it bother you that people who believe it is a sin that you eat pork would classify you the same way as I classify a homosexual? Would it bother you if they took it a step further than I would and actively shun you and anyone else who has ever known the taste of bacon or any other pork product?
If intolerance was really your concern and you were not just looking to flex you own intolerance and hate, then you would compassionately see, that my views here are apart of the Christian culture I am no doubt apart of, and you would make an allowance for what I believe.
But you didn't, and that makes you and people like you a hypocrite of the worst kind.
Having experienced intolerant bigotry is not justification for your own exercise of the same. This juvenile reasoning is likely why you mistake my reply as criticism of your intolerance, which you then try to justify with a lame tu quoque "intolerance of intolerance" argument. Intolerance in and of itself is not what is wrong. I'm intolerant of child molesters, psychics, and pretty much anything where someone victimizes another with intent.
It's your attempt to pass off your bigotry as morality or 'just following the rules' that disgusts me. Bigotry is intolerance for others for superficial reasons. Sometimes it's skin color. Other times it's based on place of origin. All are typically characteristics of someone that is beyond their control. Yours is based on accepting without consideration the assertion of some ancient ignorant fuckwit. It's inexcusable, particularly in the face of everything that we have come to understand since.
