Is there room for Bouncers who work at clubs in Kidderminster in this theoretical sealed state?

Classy. Especially since I never said anything of the sort. I'm not arguing theology or sin here. I'm just pointing out that Christians, in general, are free targets and anyone can take potshots at them with immunity. That's all I'm saying here.Originally posted by Sir Auros
However, if you feel that gays shouldn't have equal rights because the invisible man you think lives in the sky says so, you can take a "shower" too.

2000 years of persecution of other religions and cultures and people.
Using their religion as a basis for wars, murder and said persecution.
Believing they are above reproach to everyone but their god.
Going against their own bloody religion.
Sects of said church using their position to take advantage of those in weaker positions.
The Crusades.
The Inquisition.
Pat Robertson.
I don't think Christianity has the right to say "Well why do you guys pick on us?!"
It's a bit like a school-yard bully trying to figure out why he has no friends and everyone calls him names.
SAGE GOES IN ALL FIELDS
Well what it comes down to mainly is knowing your audience. Being familiar enough with the peole you're talking to to know what you can say that won't piss them off.
I could quote Denyer's response about the difference between bashing someone for being gay and bashing someone for being christian but it's right above mine a bit. The point is I believe there is a difference. In my mind when I ban someone for gay-bashing but don't when someone is christian-bashing there is some reasoning behind it. I'm not being unfair. Much of the staff would agree I'd guess.
That said it would depend on the content of whatever is being bashed too. There's always only so far you can go with anything.
If you've been around long enough you know what the staff is going to get angry enough about to ban you and what they won't. If you haven't then we'll tell you.

Thank you, Hound, for a real response. I'm not looking for anyone to be banned or anything. That would be a bit silly. I'm just blowing off some steam. Everyone gets a little thin-skinned at times, Christians included. I'm not endorsing bashing of anyone at all, and I'm not personally offended by comments about Christianity on the whole. I just need to stay out of the GD's. No hard feelings, anyone?

Surely Celine Dion was the opening salvo?

Mike Myers, Alanis Morissette, Avril Lavigne, Howie Mandel, Kim Cattrall (Technically she's English, but she moved to Canada when she was three months old, so they still get the blame.), Eric McCormack, Nickelback, Corey Haim...
Sure, every so often they get lucky and produce the Kids in the Hall or Elisha Cuthbert. Really, though, it'd take more than just a few extremists to even start getting them back for everything they've subjected us to.

Never mock anyone from Big Trouble In Little China. Or I'll cry like a baby.
Elisha Cuthbert.
Ahhhhh. Elisha...

I suspect she could certainly teach me a thing or to.
But then so could Bonnie Langford.
Celine Dion does have one saving grace- Her husband being a short bald French speaking man called Rene. Cue many hillarious "You stupid woman!" and "Ze fallen Maddona with ze big boobies!" jokes.
