The more I read this, the more I wonder what in the world you read, because it certainly wasn't what I wrote.
I never said anything about anything being superior to anything else. I said I wouldn't dream of walking up to an individual leaving a church and volunteering my opinion of his religion. There are a great many religious people who believe--as the individual I replied to does--that somehow he has the "right" to share his beliefs about his idea of my "lifestyle."
On the contrary: at no point in my post did I state anything about my religious affiliation or beliefs. It would seem it was YOU who "arrogantly assumed" that I had no religion.
As a gay man, I wholehearted support your right to believe anything you wish. What I don't understand is why you think you have the right to "share" with me what you think of my "lifestyle," unless I've specifically asked you to do so.
I wouldn't dream of telling any religious person, whatever their religion or denomination, what I think of their religion. Why should you be held to a different standard?
