Default Re: I discovered a weakness of mine, with thanks to Project Avalon

Glad you decided to return Church, you made some good points in that other thread. I understand your intollerance of hate, but I don't think that's really what we were confronting there. Ignorance is more like it imo. I know that sounds really condescending, but I'll take the rap for that. It's not that they hate, they just see something different that they don't understand hence the fear masquerading as hate. That thread did bum me out a bit, I really didn't expect that from people who come to PA, but it's a useful reminder that ignorance is a formidable foe, and that it takes a calm lucid mind to counter the assumptions, red herrings, faulty premises, and stereo types slung by the ignorant. Hopefully someday they will realise what you and I, and many others here do, that we are all one.

Just to clarify, I started that thread, and it was most certainly intended as an ANTI - gay bashing thread.
