They all are defining for themselves what they believe God's will is. And at the very least, as I know you won't agree with that, they are choosing what messages they want to put out there. I know plenty of Christians and none of them say those sorts of statements to me.

Sure.  And which would demonstrate more ill-will, providing you with the information that he believes will save you from damnation or withholding it?

QuoteJust because it is done differently doesn't mean it isn't ill-will. The people are still alive but you've taken steps to eradicate their identity / their existence as a group. Doesn't sound particularly benevolent even if you say they'll be better off.  Otherwise, you're saying that Grallon isn't being bigoted when he says that Muslim immigrants need to drop all of their culture and espouse only Western (and presumably Quebecer) sentiments. That seems odd.

Grallon is not interested in reforming anyone.  He wants seperation.

That's what way to put it but I'd say that providing me with the information demonstrates more ill-will. It isn't like he is spouting a message that no one has the courage to mention. For a variety of reasons, including religious, gays have been made to feel that their homosexuality is wrong.  Cathy isn't adding anything to that message other just increasing the echo chamber.

I think you're wrong. If they were willing to behave as he dictates, I don't see that he'd have any issue with them.

I turn on the TV and it is Chick-Fil-A overload on the news channels. So guess what I want to eat again. :weep:

Damn evil chicken.  :cry:

I had the day off yesterday to do a couple of last minute projects around the house before company arrives this weekend.  Since it's sorta next to Home Depot, Chick-fil-A has been my lunch and/or dinner when I'm doing a home project.  So I had that on my mind all morning.  Went there yesterday at 11:30 and it was about as packed as the ones they're showing on the news.  Had to go back to Home Depot around 2:30 to get some more paint, and it was still packed.  So I went to Chipotle instead and enjoyed their brand of self-righteousness :D

I don't think I've ever come across a gay person that felt this way.

Chipotle: we put a bag of salt in our food.

BUT THEIR MEAT IS 100% HORMONE FREE AND THEY ONLY USE PORK FROM PIGS THAT WERE TREATED HUMANELY

That's because they've overcome the shame they've been induced to feel - and thus openly out as homosexual. :P

I most definitely struggled as a child as I couldn't help how I felt but knew other people would dislike me for it.

Shame. I went and had a burrito at a local joint that's decent for the East Coast.

Bigot means a person who hurts your feelings?

"Not have any issue with them" is a far cry from trying to improve their situation.  For their own sake, not his.

No that's not the definition.

Quotea person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

Not sure where Cathy is showing tolerance if he's paying money to have gays no longer be gay and it definitely seems like he's devoted to his own opinions and prejudices on whether it is okay to be gay.

And you think Cathy wants to "save" gays out of the goodness of his heart? From his statements sounds a lot more like he thinks toleration of homosexuality is a plague on America. Converting gays = saving America.

Clearly he is not showing tolerance.  The question is whether he is showing hatred.
