If communism was a religion would you respect it? Why should people arbitrarily respect things that do harm to others? I'm not saying All religion does harm to others, but if somebody wants to oppress in the name of religion, they can't turn around and demand that you respect their right to oppress others because it's religiously motivated. Should we respect the rights of the KKK to put burning crosses in the front yards of black people? I mean they are doing it for religious reasons, they can show you scriptures. You may not agree with their scriptures, but I'm sure there are plenty of people disagreeing with the christian right's interpretation of scripture too. But hell, if it's religion it MUST be respected, right?
Mafoo has the right idea, and it's not a new one. People have been saying this for some time now. The easiest way to solve this is to have the government stop getting involved in "Marriage". That way the christians that have their panties in a wad about gays getting "married" can go fuck off, which is stupid to begin with. Christians didn't invent marriage and if they did why aren't their any christian groups complaining about muslims, hindus, atheists, and satanists getting "Married"? Aren't they all offensive to the christian god? There should only be civil unions as far as the government is concerned, and let people call the unions whatever the hell they want.
Also, it's not intolerance if a minority starts to question the massive majority that has all of the power, money and influence in the country, it's a revolt. |
I do not tolerate radical religions that force me to be of their religion. Some sects of Islam want to force me to convert to their faith. Communists force people to not live their religions.
It must be respected if it is not hurting your rights to practice your religion.
A religous photographer was sued and has to pay money to a same-sex couple when she denied their request to photograph their committment ceremony.
That is the government forcing someone to go along with anothers beliefs.
Someone being fired from the marriage license place because they do not want to give licenses to same-sex couple is forcing someone to go against their beliefs.
You are right questioning whether its good to be for or against same-sex relationships is not intolerance, but the government enforcement is.
Repent or be destroyed
