Once again, i've been accused of being a poor liberal. I am supposed to be tolerant, evidently to the point of enshrining tolerance as a goal in and of itself.
So i should tolerate christain intolerance.
I've seen this before, and i don't know where it comes from.
Where do we find the core tenets of liberal/atheism, and the need to be absolute in our tolerance? Tolerance isn't a goal, as far as i think. The goal would be peaceful coexistence of the maximum number of people in the best possible society.
Tolerance is a useful tool in achieving that.
But it only works if we're all tolerant. I can see, maybe, preaching that we should be tolerant. But not as a liberal plank for an end goal.
A rather bigoted conservative lumps all liberals together as: degenerate, hippie, pot-smoking, dirt-worshipping, Sodomite loving, God hating, murder supporting flakes.
Conservative Christains should be anti-abortion, anti-euthanasia, anti-Sodomy, pro-family, pro-censorship and pro-Christian
Hmm.
Well, degenerate is a judgment call. I've only ever slept with Mrs. & Company, but i do read Playboy.
As a career military man, hippie doesn't apply.
I've never smoked pot.
As an atheist, i don't worship anything, esp. dirt
I am, actually, to be forcibly honest, something of a homophobe. I can't stand the idea of butt-darts, either participating or watching. It makes me uncomfortable. I do, however, feel a need to rise above such visceral reaction and actually examine the rights of others. So i support gay rights, hate gender and gender preference discrimination. I guess that makes me Sodomite loving in the eyes of some
God hating is only possible if you believes in the gods.
Murder supporting - I'm pro abortion, but i'm also pro death penalty. I thought one of those was a conservative issue. I wish he'd flesh out that particular accusation.
And flake? Yeah, i'll cop to that. Not exactly sure how 'flake' is a biblical or political concern, but what the hell.
Have never known why Christain Conservatives feel that they need to be anti-abortion. God's Flood alone shows how he feels about the little chilluns.
Anti-euthanasia seems an odd Conservative plank. They keep chanting for less and less government intrusion, but demand the right for the state to override the wishes of the individual. Farkers.
Anti-Sodomy intolerance is a firm Conservative discrimination.
Pro-family is a common Conservative claim. Not sure how liberals are anti-family, what with our pro-sodomite drive to make more of them....
Pro-censorship? I'm in favor of censorship. Or at least establishing age and social appropriateness. I personally had a copy of the anarchist cookbook for a while, as a kid, but would cheerfully remove any in the hands of most high school students today. And i support the whole book-challenge/book-banning system. I guess only liberals would allow Harry Potter or Gold Compass in school libraries, though.
And conservatives are pro-Christian. Well, that's great. I guess being pro-christain, pro-muslim, pro-atheist, pro-judaism, pro-hindi, pro-whatever the hell else is left to us liberals.
