I'll bet real money (up to $1.00 even!) that within 10 years they will be marrying the gays and pretending that they were always for same sex marriage. At the moment they are still deluding themselves that it is 1999 and there is a political advantage to homophobia.

that they're not bigots, though. Because sincerely held religious beliefs excuse bigotry, as everyone knows.

Have the stones to confront them directly, and be prepared to back it up with quotes.

you'd know it's been done. Many, many times. What's your point?

And of course, the people who have been so accused do the same thing you're accusing me of, but you and your high horse have been strangely absent. So you'll understand if I don't take you too seriously here.

and I'm 100% unsurprised at your inability to cash it.

As you claimed. That's YOUR check..you wrote it..now cash it...or go away.

"Some posters here would loudly affirm that they're not bigots..."

Who are not bigots?

"Some posters here..." thats who.

The "they" refers to the Southern Baptists of the OP, and particularly the speaker. Nice try, though.

So did you come in here just to fling false accusations, or did you actually have a worthwhile purpose? In either case, you're free to apologize, though I'm hoping and expecting that you'll double down on your accusation instead. Oh, please.

You're the one that wrote the ass backwards sentence with a broken pronoun reference.

You caused the misunderstanding...just you.

you have descended to a grammar attack.

And here is an example of a frequent poster in this forum giving homophobic bigots a pass "because god"

And were called out for it, would you whine that you meant '"Osama is a terrorist " and accuse people or spelling attacks?

That would be pretty pathetic.

The poster should take some personal responsibility, admit he created the confusion, and fix the post.

At least you brought back a specific, on point example of the bigotry the poster observed., which was all I ever asked for..

Especially since your knee-jerk response was a false and ugly accusation, based on assuming the worst, rather than a request for clarification. My meaning seems to have been perfectly clear to those with reading comprehension, but please, continue with your accusations if it makes you feel righteous.

You know the one. I know you've seen it.

Maybe this will refresh your memory.

As it always does when this is brought up from the depths. Of course, tomorrow, the same person will be demanding "proof" that there are bigots among us.

but please do your research before you accuse others of being cowards. Said members have been called out repeatedly, at least one is even on vacation, but callouts like you are asking for tend to get alerted on.

the poster wrote a crap post, practically begging to be misunderstood. I don't care about grammar till the lack of grammar causes communication issues, as has happened here.

So send an alert on me. Please.

Why would anyone here do that?

But there are no communication issues..only understanding issues. And they're your issues, not mine.

They insist that *i* will bend my heathen atheist knee some day too.

Can't even be consistent with their bullshit bigoted hyperbole.

to apologize for their homophobia, like it did for them to apologize for supporting slavey.

This too, in a large part, will pass. That much is clear, imo. Though bigotry will surely continue to exist, blindly violent and deadly at times, the tide for equality has turned.

Who was that English king that demanded the tide to turn? Didn't go so well for him, regardless of crown, title or wealth.

to marry a same sex couple now or in the future. Sad that he thinks he needs to hide his bigotry behind his religion but that does not seem to be that uncommon.
