religion bad because it doesn't conform to my progressive modern "tolerances"
Idk homie, with everything the LGBT has done in the short couple of decades of being allowed to be open and the even shorter single-ish decade of being in places of power, I'd say the Bible was too soft on them.
problem with that is you can't have it both ways.
The problem was the gays sold everyone on the lie of "we just want to live our lives like normal and be left alone" and then proceeded to go miles beyond that by abusing the decency and kindness of the mostly Christian nations.
So, I guess well done on setting up a great Scorpion and the Frog parable. The Christians are still in the wrong for trying to still be decent people and only keeping it to civilized "phobias" when they shouldn't have even tolerated letting the homos speak without a stone going their way and now get to sink with them in their hedonistic rush to extinction.
I get you were rushing to say "bibleman bad" but you really should think about the connotations of your accusations, and how they entirely rest on the tolerance and kindness of the people you are hating not going far enough for people who openly spew vile back at them.
instead of going back to that nice middle ground of tolerance
Or maybe they saw what the people they were tolerating were really like, and are reacting accordingly by deciding to no longer give them the benefit of the doubt.
Ah, name calling. The mark of someone who has given up on the pretense of having a point and instead devolved back to middle school level arguments.
I certainly feel my beliefs changing from your powerful convincing point of view. I mean "not really"! How did I not even think of that?!
Also, there was a third option already. I said it up there, and it was one that the majority of people were slowing coming around to. You know, "live and let live." Where the gays lived their life instead of trying to be involved in every facet of ours and being in our face every hour of the day. Its the one they chose to discard as not being good enough.
But acknowledging that part would ruin your superiority complex and argument, so I see why you didn't bring it back up.

No there's also hanging. A whole lot of that.
