Re: Freedom v. Privilege
It's unconstitutional to write laws that discriminate against inferior people, whether they're black or homosexual or Christian.

Minorities may be a smaller percentage of the population, but are hardly inferior
My point is that it doesn't matter if they are inferior. If every single black person on earth was inferior in every conceivable way to every single white person, that is still not an excuse for discriminating against them. Democracy should not be only for the superior.

I don't agree with the force-by-legal-route method over simply talking to them and getting them to agree....
Who cares if they agree? We just want them to stop discriminating. That's a matter for law. We don't talk nicely to bank robbers to get them to agree not to rob banks.

I think it would be better for the country, as a whole, if both sides came to an agreement rather than one side forcing the other to their way.
And it would be better for the country if everybody agreed not to rob banks - but it ain't gonna happen. We need laws to deal with recalcitrant bank robbers and homophobes.

They were sinners.
Jesus sat down with publicans and sinners. The Pharisees of the day condemned Him for it just as you Pharisees of today would condemn Him for it.

If Jesus was invited to a same-sex marriage, He would turn the water into wine.
