110. I find very little of your words to disagree with.
...But... We're not talking about the importance of faith in a person's life, we're talking about the idea of Christians being the objects of bigotry, which, as a Christian American myself is laughable on it's face.

If you go back and read my words, you won't find anything I said that can be remotely construed as expecting some to renounce their belief system, especially the OP. I was criticizing the manufactured outrage over this non-issue, and using logical fallacies to support such. I don't, and never will expect anybody to change, so stop stuffing my mouth with strawmen.

As an honest person, I can look at what's being said and done in Jesus' name, not only by the right wingers, but the myopic liberals who have bought into the right wing manufactured "Christians are opressed" meme as well. Criticizing and expressing offense, especially from those who know what TRUE bigotry looks like, is entirely appropriate and completely right.
