55. The most amusing and insane thing about this thread... |
|
...is that ultimately it accomplishes nothing.
NOT. ONE. DAMNED. THING.
It is basically yet another "oh, woe is me....the evil gay people are offending me because some people don't qualify every statement when using the word 'religion'."
You know. Take a look around and tell me who the injured party is in this society? It ain't the people of faith!
I don't know what I find worse. People who use religion as justification to deprive others of equality or those who are so self-centered they want to climb up on a pedestal and complain about how they got their feelings hurt because someone who is being legally shunted to second-class citizenship and treated generally as dirt up didn't take a moment to qualify a statement with a disclaimer.
Yeah, maybe some gay people should frame their statements a bit more carefully, but you know it seems really petty to complain about hurt-feelings from unintended offense from this side of the equation while the nation seems to be on the verge of herding us into ovens.
