Just thought I should point out that if that bus said, oh say:

“Christians touch hearts

Homosexuals touch children”

it would be offensive and people would harass that bus company until it was removed. I guess it’s okay to take something horrible a few individuals did and say that millions of people with only surface similarities are exactly the same as them as long as it’s religion and not someone’s race, sex, or gender. Because hey, it’s not like we should have any respect for other peoples’ beliefs if they’re different from ours, right?

Bigotry’s all well and good so long as it’s directed at Christians.

That is not to imply that no Christians have ever been bigots -obviously, they’re some of the worst offenders. But not only do those represent only a small fraction of Christians, fighting bigotry and hate with more of the same only perpetuates the cycle.

The difference is that being an homosexual has nothing to do with touching children but being highly religious had everything to do with 911. It is not bigotry to state fact.

In reason:

I’m confused why the original commentary seems to think this is anti-Christianity in particular. I would have assumed anti-Islam. Unless I’m missing something.

Also I don’t know how effective a ‘homosexuals are pedophiles’ jab is when it’s Christians you’re comparing them to…
