    You're wrong. You say stuff like that because you're a little passive agressive. it's a non-point. It's like "People kill others" - bfd. It's so broadly inaccurate yet still allows you to pretend have any idea wtf you're talking about.

    It's like saying "Atheists eat babies!" OMG! YES! Altheists are BAD! It has shock value. It's retarded. Could be the babies they eat are baby sheep. Or baby fish. Doesn't matter. I want to stir shit up to try and make a point that's so overly broad and improvable nobody dare argue with me.

    If you know TWO conservative christian people, and those two folks are somehow mean to others you have made your point.

    Truth is, Every conservative christian I've met is a sweetheart in their sincerity - if misguided by what they think is right. In FACT, from a numbers game, I've met more kind christians than I have 'tolerant homosexuals'.

    SO - if I wanna be you I say "Folks who like homosexuality as a habbit/hobby/practice are intolerant assholes!" because I've met three who are. Doesn't matter if i've known 20 folks in that category who are fantastic people. I'm bullypulpit! I'm a weak-minded liberal God hater! I want to make statements which on the surface seem bold and powerful, but when really looked at with critical thought actually mean DICK. They mean horseshit.

    So - proverbially cover your cry-hole (in this case, think before you type); drop your self-righteousness WAY down, and be NICE to christians because its the right thing to do.

    Good day sir.

    I SAID GOOD DAY SIR!

    Sorry bro. I have met tons of kind Christians AND tolerant homosexuals. You believe otherwise because you have a closed mind and are used to dealing with people who have to agree with you and say "yes, sir!" while they are doing so.
    Which means, on the surface your post seems bold and powerful. But when really looked at with critical and tolerant thought, actually mean DICK. Not to mention horseshit.

    Dismissed!

    Which means on the surface your post makes no sense?

    So YOU are dismissed. You don't even know what the command of execution "dismissed" means.

    The way you decide between a null and alternative hypothesis is to test it. Try spending time in Provincetown, Mass. while somehow showing that you're a conservative Christian. To document the test, wear a hidden camera. You will then have test results that will enable you to decide whether the null or alternative hypothesis is true.
