You're writing a lot of bigotry there.  Religious people can be stupid.  Gay people can be stupid.  Black people can be stupid.  Women could be stupid.  Scientists can be stupid.  People in any of these groups ( or any other group) can also be wonderful.

The crap your spewing there is exactly what has harmed gay people for so long.  Gay men have had an image of being pedophiles or perverts.  If you saw one you should get your kids in the house.  Are all gay men peophiles?  Absolutely not.  To think they are is bigotry.

But the answer to one bigotry is not another.  Many religous people are kind, good people.  Many gay people are kind, good people.  Some of both groups are very bad.  That's just people in general.

Making stereotypes of one group while supporting another makes you sound like a small-minded idiot.

That's too bad, I thought I was intelligent. Maybe I'm just a peophile after all.

Wonderful people are wonderful, but the religion they practice could be very not wonderful, and it's dangerous. What do you say to that?

Where homosexuality has 0 evil in and of itself, religion does. Homosexuality doesn't make people bad, it doesn't affect the makeup of society, because family and family values don't matter. People will tell you the contrary but they have no proof.

I say you are ingorant of religion.  Just as many ingorant people think that gay people are the end of our society, you are ignorant of spritual belief and are stereotyping them and you feel that they should be forced to follow your beliefs.  It's horrible that you have this mindset.

I know a bishop who loved little boys.  LOVED them.  What made him bad, the fact that he was a Catholic Bishop or that he was gay?  Neither.  He was just a bad dude.

Religion is a belief that there is more to the world than what we can explain, a purpose, a meaning, a sprituality.  There is nothing inherently wrong with that.  It's neither good or bad.  It's possible that a releigion could have evil intent, such as a cult with a suicide pact.

For the most part the mainstream religions in our society don't have evil teachings.  Christianity is about love and kindness to all.  Some leaders may encourage harmful ideas that aren't founded in religion ( there is nothing in the bible banning gay marriage...  In fact, there is little mention of marriage, or of homosexuality, and you don't need a priest to get married, contrary to many long held traditions), but that is about the individual, not the religion.  You shouldn't hate on a religious group any more than you should hate on someone who chose to be a biologist, or an athlete, or any other life value.

It sounds like you are just spewing bigotted stereotypes you have heard from others, rather than getting a good understanding of the topic of hand, making you sound ingorant.
