Quote:That was the exact same argument was made in regards to racism and sexism. The exact same one. They lost those arguments and have now moved on to other forms of discrimination all while claiming religious persecution. If you are one of those people and use religious convictions as an excuse to discriminate than yes, you will be. Stop hating people so much.  

 

You are wrong!  In the past, the discrimination's that you pointed out were based on the concept that one segment of society was better than the other.  IE. Aryan  better than Jew, white better than black, hetero better than homo. ect, ect..  The discussion of today is (as I perceive it) that if it goes against a person's core values and beliefs, why is it that that person forced to participate.  For the most part with a few exceptions, I have not heard nor seen people of faith trying to deny (key point here, I am talking about the common man and not the national media hysteria of focusing an all out bigot) that all people are equal.  The 2 issues that I see those of Christian faith arguing are:

 

  1.  Why are we granting special privileges to certain groups that are already covered in our basic rights in the tenants of government?

  2.  Why is it permissible to denounce a Christian's core values and beliefs all the while as you prop up another set of core values and beliefs?

 

If you refuse to see the perspective from the media labeled Christian Right, then I have to ask, is your mind any more open than those you chose to chastise for having a closed mind?
