Isn't worshipping a false god as much a sin as homosexuality?

What a straw man. You should flush with embarrassment.

And working over that tired old parallel with the civil-rights movement, which gays have labored to manufacture since After the Ball was published, was phony then and it's phony and embarrassing now.

The civil rights movement was a corrective to racial theories that attempted to substitute natural-law sanctions against "loser" ethnicities, deemed to be "losers" by the eugenicists and other racial particularists, for the rules of the social compact. Originally, there was no conflict, because African slaves were members neither of the European community nor of the society they served. They were outside the pale, aliens in our midst. The Civil War destroyed slavery to remove the incubus of slave-labor latifundism -- early agribusiness conducted on a mass scale -- from American agriculture and settlement of the uninhabited Territories. The constitutional amendments passed after the Civil War changed the status of the former slaves from nonmembers to full members of society, and the civil rights movement represented the presentation of that due bill for recognition and rights. The civil rights movement was the claiming by former nonmembers of full membership in society.

Gays enjoy all the rights other citizens do. They vote, they own property. They do not have a civil-rights beef.

I don't have the right, as a middle-aged man, to join a Girl Scouts USA troop, or a group of Brownies. The Brownies and Camp Fire Girls have always discriminated against me, because of who and what I am, and how I act. Get my drift?

Discrimination is good. What and who you discriminate against, and when you do it, are just social constructs that people change when it pleases them. It is very useful to discriminate against pedophiles who want to be preteen youth counselors. It is also useful and good to discriminate against blind people who want to enter flight school, and against homosexuals who want to date other people's teenagers and "skin some chicken".

It's also useful, helpful, and good to discriminate against liberals who like to troll perfectly good discussions and spread their diseased aggressor memes around.

Quote me on that.
