Is it because you don't want them affecting you personally... No, it's because Christians are bigots.
How would allowing same sex partners to marry affect him personally unless he was gay? Live and let live already.

They aren't willing to live and let live. If they did that they could not feel all morally superior to everyone who was not just like them.
I don't much care what they want to believe and how they want to live, that is none of my business. My problem is that they are not
willing to extend the rest of us the same courtesy.
Come to think of it, courtesy is not one of their strong suits either.

Christians are a bit like bacteria. There are plenty who live in harmony with the system and who even benefit it. However inevitably it's the ones which make you sick which you become aware of.

No -- you don't want to know what you think about it.
Are you really unable to see the lengths that you are going to in order to avoid answering the question?
Just answer it -- what are you so afraid of?
Just answer the fucking question -- if you got the guts.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste -- don't pollute it with bullshit.

Ah I do enjoy a bit of philosophical hair splitting.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression you thought God did not exist. In which case how can he be a bigot hmm?
Your statement is not internally consistent.
A generalisation such as you made is only defensible if a group has a reasonable degree of homogeneity, which "christians" palpably don't. One cannot use the existence of a straightforward God and a uniform adherence to his teaching to defend a generalisation without proposing the existence of such a god.

I don't think Harry Potter or Hermione Granger exist, but their 'shippers makes me cringe. It's the idolization of the beast that worries me (and probably FFF too).
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

But Harry Potter fans are a broad group. Hard to make any confident statement about all of the besides that they like Harry Potter. You probably know lots of Harry Potter fans who you don't even know are Harry Potter fans.

One cannot use the existence of a straightforward God and a uniform adherence to his teaching to defend a generalisation without proposing the existence of such a god. Lemme fix it for you. I would have been more clear to state "The god Christians believe exists is a bigot, and Christians agree with their concept of god, so I stand by the accuracy of my statement.
If you're attempting to appear knowledgeable, then why are you acting so ignorantly?
