Anyone who reads the whole article will at least understand that the Christian(or this particular club Christian) is not simply bigoted, but has a ideological reason for their stance.
Every bigot has an ideological reason for their bigotry.

Re: Another Christian Viewpoint
quote:
evidently you didnt get the point of the article. In simple terms,allow me to explain my belief. Gender attraction is born. There is no way to hate on that. Marriage is a civil right and same sex marriage will and should pass, since we are not a Theocracy. That being said, and what most people dont understand, is that sexu8al behavior is a choice. Socially, people have rights and should have them.
Spiritually, people have responsibilities to grow and become better, stronger people. Same gender attraction is inborn and should not be discriminated against. Sexual behavior, while the responsibility of the individual, can be controlled. Humans should not simply be driven by their feelings and preferences...(unless, of course, they believe that there is no higher authority than themselves.) Since you didn't understand that opposition to free will does not mean bigotry, i had to clarify. Ultimately you have the right to do whatever you darn well please. My point is that its not your wisest choice.

Your post implied that there was bigotry without an ideology.
I simply pointed out that all bigotry has an ideology.
And explaining someone's prejudice does not justify it either.

Then atheist homosexuals should be allowed to get married?
