(45,319 posts)that belief with you. I have no reason to 'realistically expect' anything from the 'we hate gays' crowd. Hate is not reasonable.
I also, by the way, have no obligation to treat bigoted ideas as if they were 'spiritual' nor to treat bigots like Francis as if they were not simple atavistic, superstitious hate mongers.
Francis is Uganda's 'spiritual leader'. How's that working out?
Francis and Dolan are the same, not different. Same. Rich, power lusting men at the top of a huge money oriented organization, they preach hate to gain more power and more money.
I expect those who rant about being superior Christian beings to at least practice the Golden Rule instead of being loud mouthed minority attacking hate mongers.
Whenever minorities are subjected to attack, many majority members have worked out reasons why the attacks are understandable or needed or unavoidable. This does not make those majority members correct, it makes them cowards.
