Here's a poll exploring bigotry.

Pence says criticism of wife’s job at anti-LGBT Christian school is ‘deeply offensive to us’
Click to expand...

I apologize in advance if I offend anyone. The ascendancy of Trump along with Pence has been a reason to turn away from the church and swear off the type of religion that has flocked to the alter of Trump and Pence. It seems they can excuse any behavior if they like the policy coming out of this administration. They like the policy and Evangelical Christians are solidly behind Trump. Christian schools can bar who ever they want to bar but they need to see the optics of people on the out side looking in. Sentiment in the US has changed dramatically towards the LGBTQ community in the last decade. Of all people you would think a politician or a politicians wife would understand that not all people see the world as they do. I am happy if they want to be just the representative of Evangelical Christians. They ignore greater numbers of people who believe harsh treatment of anyone isn't right. Some call it arrogance and bigotry. I want leaders who represent all of the people. It is estimated that there are 9 million LGBTQ people in the US. 2.1 million people identify as evangelical Christian. Only 20% of Americans attend church regularly.

Is Mitt Romney a bigot? A racist? Yet the Democrats and the political left accused him of such.
Is John McCain bigot? A racists? Yet the Democrats and the political left accused him of such.

They did so because at the time they believed it to be to their political advantage to do so.

Joe Biden?


Harry Reid?


Bill Clinton?


'Good' progressives? Good Democrats? Not racists? Not bigots?
Oh please.

The left is just never called out on it, or at least not called out on it as hard and often as anyone that’s non-left. The left won't call it out on their own, unless forced to do so.

So the left are a bunch of hypocrites of the worst kind. Not even honest enough to police their own, and more than overjoyed at making accusations against anyone non-left for real or imagined offenses.

Yet, Republicans would appear do much better at policing their own.

This is not to say that Republicans don't exhibit some of the same behaviors, but they've not made it a career or a fixation as much as the left has. Clearly.

Rules for Climate Radicals; “Accuse the Other Side of That Which You Are Guilty”

Pretty clear this is the case for Democrats and the left, as made clear in these examples.

Can't it backup? Yeah, right. Keep dreaming.

As another poster said, Pence can shove his offense at others criticizing his blatant bigotry where the sun don't shine. Religion does not give anyone the right to violate constitutional rights of a specific group of people because a certain sect says they aren't worthy of existing.

That said, the poll questions sucked, so I didn't vote. Do better, calamity. Thanks. :)

I rushed it but also thought it was self explanatory. IMO, it’s not “a Christian education.” It’s hateful bigotry—the exact opposite of Christ’s teachings.

Another way to look at it.

When was the last Republican what wasn't accused of being a bigot or a racist by the left?

Hell, the Democrats and the left even accused Mitt Romney and John McCain of being bigots and a racists.

Pretty apparent that to Democrats and the left, anyone that isn't a Democrats or from the left is a bigot and a racist. :roll:

The more Democrats and the left use these false accusations, the less anyone is likely to believe them, see 'Boy who cried wolf'.

Oh, cry me a river! We lefties have repeatedly been falsely accused of persecuting Christians, and being unpatriotic and even deranged for not unconditionally supporting the current POTUS. One left wing activist was even murdered at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

So take your tiny violin and stuff it where the sun don’t shine.

The next thing the left is going to do will assault is this school's, and other similar school's, accreditation, for the mere fact that those in this school have the temerity to believe different and have different values.

Whatever happened to this embrace of 'diversity', or is that only apply to the 'diversity' the left approves of?
Click to expand...

The plain fact is that Christian school probably practices more tolerance than the Leftists preach.
The Left is not tolerant, not inclusive and not interested in having a conversation.

People can believe that homosexuality is a sin, its their right and their religion to do so, as long as that person doesn't use the position of government to impose that belief or restrict the rights of others then they are fine. Regardless how badly you feel like that persons beliefs are misguided or wrong, their is no harm in them believing as they wish. So stop all the hate.

Amen! Stop trying to control other people with hate, bullying, shaming and fascist tactics. The scary thing is, leftists are attempting to control thoughts and beliefs, and even punishing people for practicing their faith.

No one is saying you have to start nibbling on sausage. What we are demanding is that you quit discriminating against people with a different sexual orientation than the one you seem to believe is the only legitimate one.

Maybe the right should start practicing what they preach. The right has repeatedly and falsely accused the left of persecuting Christians and being unpatriotic - even traitorous - for not unconditionally supporting the current POTUS. At the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally, it was a left wing activist who was murdered in cold blood. Abortion clinics have been vandalized and doctors who performed abortions have been assassinated.

Christian education often includes bigotry. Some can argue it isn’t “hateful” but it is definitely bigotry. I don’t have an issue with his wife working there, though. She wasn’t elected to anything.

VP Pence, however, can shove his “offense” where the sun don’t shine. You don’t get to be offended because people are calling out bigotry. Or at least don’t expect your offense to be taken seriously. I don’t care if the bigotry is sanctioned by your religion.
Click to expand...

^^^This. Just, f'in, this.

Yes, the bible says homosexuality is wrong. It also doesn't speak kindly of twice divorced whoremongers like Trump, who Pence seems to find no fault with. Seems his Christian righteousness is trotted out when it's convenient, the rest of the time it's in the closet where he thinks gays belong.

Edit : The poll questions are lacking "other".
 
But I have to tell you, to see major news organizations attacking Christian education, is deeply offensive to us.

Yeah, be offended. Unlucky. Fool.

Yes, religion is contrary to what it means to be a Christian.
 
calamity said:
As I said in post 82, those aren't Christ's teachings. So, technically, a school for bigots is not a Christian education.

Fair enough.

I read the OP, voted in the poll and posted my thoughts. I didn't peruse the thread's 30+ posts to see what had been already clarified.
