Gay marriage ban passes in NC

The coined term was used less than a year by scientists. Not closed minded American as sooperman suggests

look at the context there as you appear way off.

You lost me. Much as I lost you. What's wrong with the context?

It seems he is not going on about closed minded scientists who had quickly rectified their error, he is going on about people who still seem to hold a 30year old erroneous viewpoint.

This is how I read the context of soopamans post. However, bundling all "closed minded folks" as believing the erroneous viewpoint does not fly.

Indeed, but in the context it was used it appeared to be bundling one person on account of their views.

Understood.

But seriously, you'll never get in trouble in this forum for posting anti-religious stuff, especially if it's anti-christian. Anti-gay or anti-Muslim on the other hand...

Of course not. That is because those of us who criticize the religion of Christianity know to separate the Scripture from the believers. We know that even though Jesus says slavery is okay, Christians in the Western world are opposed to slavery.

Whenever Islam or its holy book are questioned, however, it's invariably by people who for some reason or other seem to be believe that if they can just find enough medieval crap in the Qur'an, that justifies their bigotry towards actual, real-world Muslims (because apparently Muslims are all apparently schooeld in the Qur'an, and all adhere to the belief that it should be taken 100% litterally. Yeah).

There is a difference between criticizing someone's mythology, knowing full well it's not actually adhered to, and criticizing scripture in an effort to smear a group of people you for some reason dislike.

Either drop the argument or apply it consistently and ban everyone with health risks over a certain treshold from marrying.

Anyone who has disagreed with gay marraige has been called a bigot innumerable times (...) I mean come on - this thing STARTED with name calling..... But it seems that its ok as long as your bashing people who are anti-gay marriage.

Treat someone poorly, expect to be treated likewise. See also reciprocity. Human relations 101.

There's also the fact that the anti-gay side must know it's losing anyway, and that every discussion on gay marriage (though they're thankfully growing more and more rare) revolve around the same debunked logical fallacies and misconceptions. Frankly, it makes me sick and tried, and I'm not even homosexual.
