      BINGO! But the culture of today equates offended as being hit with a nuclear bomb which requires massive retaliation in kind.

        You know it's not nearly that simplistic, of course.

          Opinions on schools, businesses, etc? That's why society is an open marketplace. You don't like it? Let your feet do your talking. You can sue...but unless its substantiated, you'll be wasting a lot of time and money for no reason.

          Do not blame Christianity for this. Christianity is a fig leaf. These people are homophobe conservatives that use religion as their trumped up justification and only potential legal leg to stand on. And regarding posts here, its best at minimum to ignore stereotypes - whether they target LBGT, minorities or Christians - but one shouldn't perpetuate them.

            To the contrary, if it weren't for their religion, they may not have held those beliefs in the first place.

              Not Christianity. Christianity -> Jesus=God=tolerance/love. That definition is airtight and cannot factually be denied. Those individuals have views of distain in spite of Christianity.

                On that note:

                I checked out the Episcopalians. Not saying I believe, but two things I noticed right away:

                When they say "God/Jesus loves you," that's the end of the sentence.

                Context applies to the whole Bible, not just when it's time to buy bacon or go to Red Lobster.

                      Was this directed at me for clicking a link Flag posted? If so, I'd like it noted that I failed to look at whose post that was before clicking the link.

                        Flag is a classic example of the supposedly "open mind", actually being an empty mind.

                          It's not gullibility, the evidence is there, and you clearly did not watch the video, and instead decided to start your "Oh, FlagDUDE08 posted, better give a troll response" routine. Google Home states "according to Wikipedia" for other religious prophets, but says "I don't understand" for Jesus Christ. Why wouldn't it be able to use Wikipedia for a search of Jesus Christ?

                            Tried it on my droid. It returned the news links that cited FlagDude08's links. Further down, way down, were links to The Man.

                            Then tried "Jesus of Nazareth". BINGO! on the 1st try.

                              It's just another manufactured conservative Poutrage of the Day.

                                And Feurstein has lost his **** over:

                                Red Starbucks cups
                                Rainbow on McDonald's fry boxes
                                Rainbow Pride reaction on Facebook

                                He's a joke.
