gs> [I]f Colorado Springs is allegedly gay-hateful, and is thus intolerant,
how can Boulder claim the mantle of tolerance when it hates the PKers?
Aren't both merely prejudicial attitudes?""
bw> It is entirely appropriate to be "prejudicial" against someone who be-
lieves and advocates an evil, life-destructive philosophy.
How am I to judge your claims about the PKers versus their claims about
gays and (say) pro-abortion-rights folks?
bw> This is entirely different than engaging in hate- and fear-mongering
against a group of people who are merely living their own lives the way
they see fit.
And the PKers feel the same about folks like you who hate them. They have
nothing against you personally -- they even claim to hate the sin, but not
the sinner.
So far, I don't much difference between you, them, and the reasons for the
respective objects of hate.
