Bonnie said:So if I understand correctly you believe what seperates Fundamentalism from Christianity is hatred?
I'd use the word intolerance, which is a form of hatred.
Bonnie said:Where do you draw the line between hatred and taking a moral stand? In other words my church (catholic) has no hate for Homosexuals, but they also don't embrace the lifestyle as right, and they do preach that it is wrong...Is that hateful?
No, but "Abiding Truth" has exhibited a level of intolerance that may not be immediately apparent from their site - they are pro-active in their attacks - their location in Sacramento supports their state lobby effort in this regard.
Bonnie said:What i saw on the website Defend the family was concerned parents who do not wish to have their children indoctrinated to any beliefs other than what they the parents deemed appropriate. Thats very different than encouraging your children to go out and assault someone who is gay or anything else.
Who's "indoctrinating" beliefs? Certainly, parents should be directly involved in what/how their child is educated. But the bills that ATM is all "up in arms about" are not about any agenda, but about limiting/preventing discrimination.
