And I never said you said that, so you're the one making nonsense up.What I said was that you dismiss real bigotry as unimportant "unless it involves prison or worse". The only example of serious bigotry that you have given so far in this thread is "If you want to see intolerance against gay people, go check out Chechnya, or African laws that send gay people to jail."
And I am perfectly fine with that opinion. The cake thing is an example of christian bigotry, but as examples of bigotry go it's not up there with lynching black folks or beheading non-muslims, certainly. And at no point have I argued otherwise.
But here's the thing, and there's really no getting away from this or you : What makes you out to be a fricken' moron is the fact that you hold that view... and yet then turn around and characterise people doing nothing more than state their opinion of Farron as "hostility vs Christians reaches fever pitch".
The reality is that if refusing to bake a cake is a minor, trivial bit of bigotry, then saying that you think a politician is despicable is even less so. You are pointing out that the molehill is much smaller than the mountain... in the middle of a rant about a speck of dust next to the molehill.
So yeah. Like it or not, you remain a hypocrite.
Then this should be easy if what you say is true.
Give three specific examples of "hostility,scorn,mockery and derision" you've faced as a Christian and tell us how they have negatively impacted your life,all examples must have taken place in the real world not on the internet.
