(45,319 posts)rights against those who loudly oppose them using denigrating and hateful language toward me? How can you hurl such an accusation with a smiley face attached?
You claimed that it was only Evangelicals that meddle in politics, I countered that with facts which you did not acknowledge, instead you accuse me of 'hate' while you defend a Church that calls me disordered and ramble on about Cuba, of which I have been actively critical for many fucking years. I never, ever said intolerance stems from any one institution, I simply said religion is a huge contributor to denigrating speech toward others and they do so with political activity and that includes the RCC and the Evangelicals and the rest of them.
It's the intolerance itself that I am criticizing and I am doing so honestly and directly. I read your willingness to ignore what I actually say and replace it with characterizations written by you as a bit of disrespect for me as your equal.
And yes, I would like the rights you have as a Straight Person. Sorry if that makes you laugh at me.
