Thread Name: BS: responding to 'hate speech'
Subject: RE: BS: responding to 'hate speech'
But others have different opinions are their opinions to be dismissed as "claptrap". I know literally dozens of people who have a "belief" As Joe said they are not all mad or bad.
Opinions are just subjective quirks; no one is born with a predisposed hatred to other human beings, whatever the reason. You can believe in what you want, doesn't make it true for everyone, doesn't even make it true for you, because, chances are, one day, you'll change your mind. So this ephemeral, barely negligible veneer we call belief, especially religious belief, is just a personal indulgence. It does not give one the right to question the right to sexuality of another human being, no matter what it supposedly says in the fucking bible.
