"MY INVISIBLE FRIEND CAN BEAT UP YOUR INVISIBLE FRIEND"
See, I don't care if you think I'm wrong. Even though you have no idea what's "right", you somehow think you can shove your beliefs down my throat. You believe in Christianity, fine. But you try to pass laws that support your beliefs. I know, that's how democracy works in a way, but it's a slippery slope. It could (eventually) lead to a theocracy. Yeah, interest groups do it, all of them. But that's the thing--I don't like them either. However, most interest groups have to do with taxes for schools, or social security, or something else that has nothing to do with opinions or beliefs and instead has to do with issues that deal with quality of life in America.
As someone who's lived in the south, I must agree, you get that a lot in the South. However, they believe it, for whatever reasons they want. You're hypocritical there on your high horse "Oh man, 90% of Christians aren't Christians". Then what are they? Are you telling me 90% of about 2 billion people are just pretending to believe in God? Do you know how STUPID that sounds?
But the thing you're forgetting the most is that, yes, I do express my opinion. But me expressing my opinion does not change the rights of any human beings on the planet. People passing laws based on their beliefs do. (and yes, I said planet and meant planet)
