Here, I'll fix it for you, prettynpink
Secular Person: I want to do X.
Christian: That's a sin, you can't.
Secular Person: But I don't think X is wrong.
Christian: But I think it's a sin, so you can't.
Secular Person: Because want to control me.
Christian: You're free to do whatever you wish. So long as what you wish lines up with what I believe
Secular Person: But I don't think X is wrong and the US is a legally secular country
Christian: I want what my book says best for you, and my book says you can't do X.
Secular Person: But I want to do X.
Christian: Then we will punish you because it's illegal.
Secular Person: But X isn't illegal?
Christian: You are doubting our collective effort to turn the US into a rigid theocracy. Hope you enjoy the death penalty for X.
Secular Person: Why you such a hateful bigot?
“Secular Person: I want to do X.
Christian: You’re free to do it.
Secular Person: But you think X is wrong.”
Wow. You’re a lying sack of fluid shit. IFF the conversation was ’you’re free to do it’ then we’d day, “OKay! B-bye!”
We would not invoke your objections.
We don’t have to.
You did not say, ’I’m opposed, but you’re free to do it.’
What you said was, “My god says you can’t do that. So we’ll make it illegal.
"Secular Person: But I want you to say that X is good.
Christian: I can't say that.”
Nooooooooooooooo. No one cares if you say it’s good or if you say it’s bad. But when you LIMIT FREEDOMS because it’s bad, that’s when you get pushback.
the-davest-of-uncles: Some of them don't want tolerance. They want endorsement and celebration
That's odd, usually it's the bigots who complain that liberals want them to celebrate diversity, while the libs say they only ask for tolerance.
Just over a decade ago, Anglican peers in the House of Lords ensured the 2013 Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act was rubber-stamped & became law by MPs in the House of Commons: even Conservative MPs had no objections. Bishops & Archbishops - Christians - said that ‘X’ is good.
When even those Christians would say you’re a hateful bigot you have less right to not agree with them, o OPs.
David & Jonathan. Not so much as word one of your ‘God’ disagreeing with such in that part of his ‘Word’. Ergo, ‘X’ is more than good.
You never had the right to so much as think of being a hateful bigot in the first place.
What your ‘God’ agrees with re. David & Jonathan. What those Christian clergy peers agreed with in the Palace of Westminster. Romans 13:1-5 means you only have the right to agree too.
Or Else.
Secular Person: I want to do X.
Christian: X is against MY religion! So you can’t do it!
SP: But I don’t share your religion!
C: Don’t matter! God says it in the Bible, so it’s The Truth no matter what anyone believes!
SP: Well, according to some Christians, that’s not what the Bible says.
C: But they are Satanists , not Christians! They’re out to lure people away from God by lying about what the Bible says. I, however, am a True Christian, so I’m right about
what the Bible says!
SP: What makes you so sure of that?
C: Because I think X is wrong!!
SP: Why are you such a hateful bigot?
SP: I want to do–
Nutter: Nooooo! The voices in my head tell me that’s bad, you can’t do it, I have to save your ghost so it doesn’t burn in my imaginary torture-laaaaaaaaand!
SP: You don’t even know what it is I wanted to do.
Nutter: But I know it’s a siiiiin! Everything is a siiiiin! I’ll make laws that crush you under the oppressive weight of my delusions! No gays! No pre-marital sex! No people who don’t hear the same voices I do! No science, or medicine, or school, or thinking! All shall obey! All hail the voices in my head!!! You shall be yoked to my religion and be happy! Or not, you’re happiness is really not a concern for us because you’re sick and icky and bad and deserve to be tortured forever and ever and ever! The only one who matters is the voice in my head!
