"I don't have trouble with you believing 1 or 3 -- that's your decision. I don't agree with 1 or 3 however. In either case, I don't have a problem with 2 -- you are free to share you beliefs with others if you choose."

So, why do you always jump in? Is it just your pedantic nature?

Just curious. Not meaning to imply anything.


Pedantism usually, and I try to point out that stereotypes don't hold (not every homosexual is a self-obsessed sociopath with AIDS, as some FReepers insist). I do try to get at the root of people's beliefs and sometimes it involves pointing out that their beliefs are based on logical fallacies or untrue generalizations.

In this thread it's amusing to see how many are quick to assert that a group of homosexual pro-lifers must have an alterior motive because it's just impossible for homosexuals to care about anything but themselves and their sex lives. It also bothers me a bit, because I would hope that pro-lifers were so simply because they believed that human life should be protected and that human life begins in the womb -- not because it's just one of the many rules that they, as Christians, are supposed to follow and as such only other "Christians" are allowed to be in their little club.

Actually, I believe it is an ulterior motive because I would expect them to put their signs away if they thought their signs were offensive.

But the sign was, evidently, the important part, not saving the lives of the unborn.

Shalom.
