This is it exactly, I feel that every man has his right to beliefs. And other men should respect that. "Bother no man about his religion."
However, I think that churches, anti-religious groups and the like all do a very poor job of reminding their followers that there are others who disagree and do not deserve to die by the sword or be damned to hell. Seems every group in America is the "only right one."
It is on both sides I see here. Liberals bashing the archaic, idiot God believing Christians as archaic and stupid. And Conservatives bashing gay-rights as damned, immoral and wrong wrong wrong!
Both sides are retarded. If you aspire to be truly "liberal" then see how the Netherlands approaches things. They allow all sides and somehow can allow the differences in their society while going about their peaceful day. If you aspire to be truly "conservative" then observe how the Dutch can again, retain their own religious piety and yet still get along with their xdressing post-op neighbor just fine.
I don't see this as a religious vs gay problem, I see it as an American problem of immature self-centered righteousness.
