Never forget [View all] Lordquinton Jul 2015 OP
Not a fair accusation. You could certainly say the majority of religious organizations Maedhros Jul 2015 #1
Yes all religions Lordquinton Jul 2015 #2
It appears you are as blind to some people as you believe they are blind to you. Maedhros Jul 2015 #5
Just because there is nothing to see Lordquinton Jul 2015 #12
Maybe you should read your own thread? Maedhros Jul 2015 #13
It was an ad hom Lordquinton Jul 2015 #18
Again, an observation based upon your post. Maedhros Jul 2015 #23
You are not even wrong here Lordquinton Jul 2015 #24
Enjoy your anger. Maedhros Jul 2015 #27
The question is why aren't you angry? Lordquinton Jul 2015 #29
UU churches have been safeinOhio Jul 2015 #10
So UUs and Quakers can consider themselves exempt Lordquinton Jul 2015 #14
Not at all, safeinOhio Jul 2015 #15
Let me rephrase Lordquinton Jul 2015 #19
Forget United Church of Christ we can do it Jul 2015 #17
Might as well, since they have less than 1 million members and shrinking. AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #20

I said pathetically tiny percentage, not simply 'pathetic'. That's your ad hom, not mine AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #50
You know you are pathetically tiny when you can't even... stone space Jul 2015 #51
Perhaps the networks had conflicting political purposes. AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #53
You mean homophobia? stone space Jul 2015 #55
Networks have owners. AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #56
Care to give us a major religion which loves the idea and fought for it? mr blur Jul 2015 #3
There are a number of sects - Unitarians, for example - that have no problem with gay marriage. Maedhros Jul 2015 #4
Unitarians are a pathetically tiny percentage of the religious population. AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #8
Unitarians don't count. stone space Jul 2015 #45
You seem to be having some trouble following the logic. AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #52
No, I said a major religion. Not a minor sect. mr blur Jul 2015 #16
Hinduism and Buddhism - do they count? Maedhros Jul 2015 #22
Good thing no one did that Lordquinton Jul 2015 #25
Count as what? Act_of_Reparation Jul 2015 #33
Is that the religion, or the people? [n/t] Maedhros Jul 2015 #42
I'm sure you can provide a link to some Hindu text that forbids homosexuality. Maedhros Jul 2015 #43
Of course. Act_of_Reparation Jul 2015 #49
I stand corrected. Maedhros Jul 2015 #58
Right now, you'd give Michael Flatley a run for his money. Act_of_Reparation Jul 2015 #60
You call me dishonest? Whatever. Maedhros Jul 2015 #61
Look, many Catholics are undoubtedly reasonable, caring, welcoming people. mr blur Jul 2015 #62
Yes - and any Catholics on this discussion board are almost certainly the caring type, Maedhros Jul 2015 #66
"My point is that by doing so you are demonizing people as well" trotsky Jul 2015 #63
No, not whatever. Act_of_Reparation Jul 2015 #64
So again, you are more concerned about the feelings of people Lordquinton Jul 2015 #67

Results of jury decision. nc4bo Jul 2015 #59
Buddhist and Hindus safeinOhio Jul 2015 #11
Oh boy, and combined they round out to a whole 1% of the U.S. Population. AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #21
Right. Hindus care so little that homosexual acts are illegal in India. Act_of_Reparation Jul 2015 #34
"In general" implies there were very few exceptions, which is true. Warpy Jul 2015 #6
Perhaps, but the OP doubled-down and confirmed he meant "all." Maedhros Jul 2015 #7
You misunderstand. AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #9
The phrase doesn't mean "all." AlbertCat Jul 2015 #26
But he specifically said "all" in a follow-up post, so I can assume that's what he meant. Maedhros Jul 2015 #28
I did post it here knowing the audience Lordquinton Jul 2015 #30
you all are angry, and need a target for your anger. AlbertCat Jul 2015 #31
"You all" are the posters that keep dropping these broad-brush polemics Maedhros Jul 2015 #32
For political purposes, in the U.S., it is monolithic. Hats how you get Prop 8 in Cali. AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #37
I covered that in the OP Lordquinton Jul 2015 #40
"the opposition to gay marriage - it's founded in ignorance and bigotry." - and religion. Warren Stupidity Jul 2015 #74
I don't see anyone denying your first statement edhopper Jul 2015 #36
Then your ignore list is well tuned. AtheistCrusader Jul 2015 #38
I see people denying all religion oposed it edhopper Jul 2015 #39
