You know, all in all, you're starting to get pretty offensive.
Just sayin, eh?

As for Atheists killing people well. . . who cares! They are atheists, I am not and it doesn't relate here.
I know many good baptists, I was married to one for 4 years, even went to church with the family and sang along with the flock. Nashville and Chattanooga to be exact. As for them teaching my kids, no problem as long as they aren't pedophiles!
No you sound like a christian atheist to me. God has little to no influence on your life. Most of America's self proclaimed christians are in this category so you are not alone.
People's views on morally acceptable behavior are deeply impacted by their worldview. Upon comparing the perspectives of those who have a biblical worldview with those who do not, the former group were 31 times less likely to accept cohabitation (2% versus 62%, respectively); 18 times less likely to endorse drunkenness (2% versus 36%); 15 times less likely to condone gay sex (2% versus 31%); 12 times less likely to accept profanity 3% versus 37%); and 11 times less likely to describe adultery as morally acceptable (4% versus 44%). In addition, less than one-half of one percent of those with a biblical worldview said voluntary exposure to pornography was morally acceptable (compared to 39% of other adults), and a similarly miniscule proportion endorsed abortion (compared to 46% of adults who lack a biblical worldview)

It seems straight men take more offense when being stared at by gay men, then straight women by lesbians. You guys will have to fight this one out yourselves then, I obviously have a bias.

Discrimination of any type on any level should not be accepted.
I agree with what you said about how in this age it exists is unbelievable. For some reason racial hatred seems higher now than it seemed ten or fifteen years ago.
As far as sexual preference goes I couldn't care less. Who you do your sex stuff to is your business. (as long as you aren't abusing children.)
I don't discriminate against anybody, I'm an ass to everybody regardless of your religion, sex, age, race or nationality.
Well, since the Mods are ok with you really insulting some 10% of society based upon bronze-age Middle Eastern Folk Tales, then it must be ok for me to write you off as yet another god-bothering loony who really ought not to spend quite so much time distressing about what others might be doing with their naughty bits.

I recommend you examine your offense and try to rationally understand how you formed your opinion that homosexuality is a wholesome and natural expression of love, etc.

Can anybody cite the actual language that is discriminatory?
Or is this all "implied" ?
It must be there somewhere.

Good. That is the essence of free speech. I must be hitting close to home then. I don't make up the morality laws as I go along. That is the fundamental error of Marxists and atheists who have captured the mental processes of western civilization. But then they believe in the great nothing; that is nothing created everything, so therefore anything goes, including situational ethics and situational morality.
I recommend you examine your offense and try to rationally understand how you formed your opinion that homosexuality is a wholesome and natural expression of love, etc. I believe you will see that it has been hammered into you by a controlling thought matrix consisting of media and government elites.
Go watch some Yuri Bezmenov speeches on youtube and come back when you are better informed.

Given the hysteria of MSNBC in general and Mellissa Harris-Parry specifically, I would not be surprised that they are being intentionally inflammatory. She's the commentator who said several disgusting and racist things about Romney's adoptive grandchild. Typical leftist hate and vitriol.
Here's a crazy idea, how about instead of having more laws and lawsuits, let's just have more freedom? Freedom of association. Everybody should be able to associate with or not associate with whomever they choose. Certainly some bigots might not associate with gays or straights or whites or blacks, but sometimes you have to tolerate a little crappy behavior if you truly want a free society.edit on 11-4-2014 by NavyDoc because: (no reason given)edit on 11-4-2014 by NavyDoc because: (no reason given)
