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.
Is there any evidence that the Christian Right can learn or modify their behavior?

You don't get to define what's biblical. We know what's biblical, and our acceptance of gay marriage is determined by the Bible and also common courtesy and what Jesus commanded us to do. So shoot us. You're working up to that anyway.

Besides, that's irrelevant, since what I've been saying is that it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks, there are Christians, me among them, who understand the Bible to forbid gay marriage, and if we are put in a position requiring us to do something personally that legitimizes it we will refuse and be prosecuted by the law, which is a form of persecution, and how that makes us the bully is beyond me.
Sorry but once again reality shows you are simply wrong.
Cakes do not a marriage legitimize.
Flowers do not a marriage legitimize.
Church services do not a marriage legitimize.
Gods do not a marriage legitimizes.
A secular license from a secular 0g0overnment and sanction from a duly authorized agent of the State a marriage legitimize.
What you do is whine and post falsehoods.

I guess I COULD wait until the gestapo come to my door before saying anything, but it's always best to object to an unjust law before it comes to that.
Too funny.
When you find an unjust law please feel free to speak out against it. If you can make a case that has any merit you may even persuade people to change the law. But stop crying about being persecuted when it is YOU that are breaking the laws.

The Religion that liberalized Western Civilization
Faith writes:
You'd think, if you were a sane reasonable person (which is asking too much of you all on this thread) that the religion that built and civilized and in fact liberalized western civilization and drew it out of the Dark Ages of barbarism and superstition, would have earned a teeny bit of respect.
I agree yet I don't see you or many so called Evangelicals showing the respect that should be due to Islam and in particular the Caliphate that maintained knowledge, education, civilization and the acceptance of other religions that was the norm under the Caliphate.
Why do you show such hostility to Islam?
