It was amazing. It made it quite clear that Mr. Green was completely set on imposing his dogma on everyone. His was perhaps one of the most intolerant discussions I've ever heard short of Fox News.

String us up as Nero did and set a match to us to light your garden path. You seem to have a habit of implying that I say things when I have not. You have done this in thread after thread. Please point to where I said or implied anything like that. Aslan is not a Tame Lion

You used the term "bigot" to describe the views of Steve Green, which I share, did you not? Where's the misquote? I merely went on to point out the logical outcome of your trend of thinking, whether you recognize it or not.

How is the logical conclusion of "we don't agree with your views on homosexuals and therefore we don't want to business with you" people hanging you and burning down your house?
I fail to see any "logic" in such an assumption.

I merely went on to point out the logical outcome of your trend of thinking, whether you recognize it or not. Did anyone talk about stringing up or burning bigots? Not that I noticed. It is just not the kind of thing that we are inclinded to support or cozy up to. You portray an excellent example of the kind of thing that my Christian friends are distrubed by. It is necessary to occasionally remind them that most of us can distinguish between those and others who pretend to be Christian.

For "persecuting" people by calling sin sin. It's not so much the talking about sin that bothers us; it's the tying gay people to fences and beating them to death, then desecrating their funerals; it's the shooting abortion doctors with high-powered rifles and setting up kill-list webpages for people to keep track; it's the bombing government buildings; it's the stockpiling of weapons and suicide pacts that kill hundreds of children. It's the burning books and interfering with libraries. It's the funding of political corruption and blackmaining public officials to prosecute personal vendettas. It's mostly that stuff. Yeah, I know. Maybe we're a bit hypersenstive.
It is this sector alone that is now the fair target of discrimination and intolerance. Oh, shit! People are excercizing their freedom to not associate with you! You might have to - gasp - bank at another institution! God, your lives are hell. How do you stand it?

Take it as a prophecy if it doesn't make sense to you. It's coming. You'll recognize it when it comes. The terms "bigots" and "intolerant" are the wedge. The UK bank is just another of the growing expressions of it. It's coming.

The ridiculous lying hyperbole and false accusations of such a post as yours are all part of what I'm talking about.

Sorry, but again, you are continuing to malign me.
Yes, Mr. Green's behavior can only be described as bigotry. However, what you then did, to imply that the "logical outcome of your trend of thinking" is to burn individuals is absurd. There are many examples where Bigotry has been opposed through other means. I sat at the counters opposing your type of bigotry in Greensboro, North Carolina and was fired for my opposition to such bigotry. It was not the Bigots who were attacked, but those of us opposing it. There are several far more likely outcomes. The first and prefered is education. Hopefully, those of who hold views similar to Mr. Green can be educated to realize that those ideas are harmful to themselves as well as the target. The second is legislative. People are free to continue holding such views but will be prevented from acting on them. Believe what you want but stop trying to impose your wrong beliefs on the rest of us.

And now you are accusing me of racism too? MY kind of bigotry? Who is "maligning" whom here?

You are tarring ordinary Bible-believers with fringe people.

You are tarring ordinary Bible-believers with fringe people. These are ordinary Bible-believers who followed, in your words, "the logical outcome of your trend of thinking, whether you recognize it or not."

Not the Branch Davidians, not the murderers of abortionists, not the killers of Matthew Shepard. All misrepresentations. I couldn't get into one site and I didn't check the last one or two.
