I think that it would be great if hate speech and the hatred and bigotry that generates it. died out.

Well, according to the Bible, marriage is also the sacred bond between a man and a woman and the woman's sister and the woman's slave and the woman's sister's slave.
​
I thought there was something about the husband's brother too.

Re: I cleaned the grooms' tuxes. I feel so dirty.
But what you think about God is not what we think about God and for us it is about obeying the Creator of all things.
​
That is what completely boggles our minds.
​
The creator of everything, the whole, vast universe, is going to be pissed off if you, on this insignificant dust mote of a planet, bakes a cake for 2 men or 2 women who want to get married.
​
And not only that, they are getting married in a civil ceremony, not a religious one.

That mushroom cloud reported from Oregon just now was my head exploding.

Re: bigots
If you are going to oppose bigots, it would be consistent to oppose all of them, not just some.
​
I oppose all the bigots I don't like.
​
How about you?

Re: bigots
But you don't oppose the bigots you like?
​
Some folks would call that hypocritical, eh?
​
Actually I was just being a smart alec.
​
As far as I know I am not friends with any bigots.
​
Several years ago, while my wife and I were taking care of my elderly parents, we came to realize that my mom's brother's wife and 2 of his daughters were racial bigots. We had to remain cordial to them for my parent's sake but after both Mom and Dad passed away, I have not had anything to do with them. I always thought the world of my uncle and never heard him say anything that made me think he felt the same way his wife did. He passed away shortly after my mom.
​
They were cattle ranchers in eastern Oregon and growing up, it was my favorite place in the world. I always liked and respected them, but after I heard the disgusting crap they said and thought, I will never see them again. They are my last living blood relatives other than my daughter and her children, but I can never tolerate their company again.
​
So that's how the fuck I feel about bigotry.

Re: The manufacture of bigotry
To me it is the clearcut beginning of the end of America, which has been sliding toward this point for some time but has finally arrived.
​
If god cares so much about this, why hasn't she smited those terrible people persecuting the poor downtrodden christians?
