And no, you really don't get it.

If criticism of a belief system is ipso facto demonization of people, then you'd better get your ass over to GD and tell all those bigots to take it easy on conservatism.

But you're not going to do that, are you?

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

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
