Get over yourself, I should have more of a right in democracy than they do. Democracy is for sane people.

I think we'd actually be hard pressed to find more than a handful of people who'd be willing to say that they seriously thought that it should be against the law to play cards online, outside of the -extreme- religious right. And perhaps even a lot of the extreme religious right wouldn't even share that view. And I'd bet that if we did actually find a group of people who claim to believe that, the reasoning for it would be because their politicians or their religious leaders say it's bad, therefore, it's bad.

The religious bigotry is a response to the persecution that is perpetuated by these religous groups, who want to apply their values to you. Part of the evalgelical philosophy is to proselytize the masses. Who else does this to the same degree?

To confuse racism with a reaction to proselytizing is assymmetric.

Very well put.

no it wasn't.
i hate the religious right as a political entity just as much as the next two plus two liberal yahoo, but when people start calling all evangelicals idiots and bad people it is going to far

It would depend mostly on how you asked them the question. I think most people don't care at all.
