Well as a person who has lived in the UK for nearly 35 years, who has lived in Bradford, Manchester, Plymouth, Wolverhampton and London and someone who has campaigned door-to-door for 3 labour candidates in two of these areas I would consider my experience to be reasonably worthwile as a point of reference, compared with an incomplete, bare statistic. I apologise for getting snotty but my original point may be missed here in suggesting that whilst tolerance is seen in public as acceptable even admirable this is not reflected in their privately held views.

Well, you're entitled to your view, but you'll pardon me if I don't find your seat-of-the-pants speculation about the internal lives of Britons to be more compelling than England's most comprehensive national survey of social attitudes. I mean, what are politicians supposed to do? Read minds? If the public is telling them publically that they're for gay rights, how are politicians supposed to know that, privately, they're not?

What is character assassination, personal depreciation, denigration of personality etc. but hatred? So Christians who claim that they dont't hate homosexuals but only the sin are they lying then? They really do hate homosexuals? Specifically, do you hate homosexuals? lfen

You aren't making any sense. No I don't hate homosexuals and I don't attack their character either. I have homosexual friends. What is the matter with you people. Do you just sit around trying to dream up things to accuse Christians of?

Do you just sit around trying to dream up things to accuse Christians of? I wasn't accusing you. I was asking a question. My point is that if Christians can criticize homosexuality as a sin and no be considered to hate the homosexual, why can't you take a criticism as a criticism without claiming it's made because I hate you? I sit around reading EvC. I mostly dream of dancing. My posts to you are generally the result of reading something you've written. In this thread I'm addressing you as an individual. I think I've mostly done that. I don't know what the matter is with "you people". I've never met any of you in person and I'm not a member of any group here. I consider myself the only person posting to EvC offering a non dual viewpoint at this time. lfen lfen

Saying they "pity" me, they feel like they are in a room with a crazy person etc? This is "criticism?" No, this is personal, this is character assassination. I guess you haven't read the thread. The remark you made was also personal the time I mentioned it and I forget what it was. It wasn't addressed to my views, my opinions, it was about me personally. Sorry I don't remember it. If I find it I'll let you know.
"Criticizing" homosexual acts is identifying a sin (violation of God's Law) according to the Bible, not a personal characteristic a person simply happens to dislike. I'm sorry, I DO get short-tempered when hit from so many different angles by so many different people. I need a break.

Oh come on, you know what I mean. You all know what I mean but you like playing games about it, and in fact your answer is just another example of hating me as I'm using the term. Oh well.

I'd have to agree with Bobbins - many of the locals would not go down Canal Street (or anal treat to give it's nickname) because they are fearful that "something" will happen to them.
I think this is great.. It means that I can drink with the missus and friends in nice bars without drunk knuckleheads spoiling the fun.

Think about what you are actually saying - That I and others here hate some random stranger that we've never met or interacted with in the real world. I can't think of any people I know (in the real world) that I hate, so it baffles me why you'd think I'd expend energy in such a way.
It seems to me that you seem to have a very distorted few of your importance to others here and indeed the general importance of this board in our lifes. I don't know about the others but for me this is a nice distraction from writing papers etc. I really do suggest you take a few days away from the board and re-assess the situation - you seem to have this all out of wack.

Oh come on, you know what I mean. You all know what I mean Yes we do. It's fine to discriminate against gays, because you're not one. But it's not OK to discriminate against Conservative Christians, because you are one. I await a clarification in case I'm wrong.
