Its not that people are not allowed an opinion, its allowing bigots to express there evil views based on the belief in a fictional book and using an imaginary friend as your back up. I assume that if I have a rant about Jews that would be acceptable? Or maybe I will be called anti semitic and the post removed. The OP following a post may have an opinion, but by starting the post using religion as his crutch I found is homophobic. As a Christian I draw your attention to LEV 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death.
Also on None believers, Deut. 13:12-16 If you hear of a city where another god is worshiped, then destroy everyone in the city and burn it down
Deut. 17:2-7 Kill everyone whose religious beliefs are different from your own.
Nice religion.

Hang on Ali, I haven't given my comments yet. On second thoughts maybe I won't, if I did you would surely have to use your delete powers

OK Joking aside let me try and clarify a few points. Firstly I am not particularly religious in as much as I am not a regular churchgoer and certain things which have happened in my later life have caused me to question my faith. I would consider myself a Christian having been brought up to live within the law in a Christian country whose laws are loosely based on the ten commandments and the teachings of the Christian faith.
I have an issue with people of the same sex being allowed to take the sacriment of marriage. I am not anti-gay or anti civil partnership. I just feel that marriage should be between a man and a woman. That is my personal opinion and some will agree and some not. If we all expressed the same views there would be no point in discussing anything and the world would be a duller place.
I try to always be polite and respectful of other persons views and I respect their right to hold different views. Just because I express my feelings or views on a subject does not make me right or wrong, just opening up a topic which I think would be interesting to discuss or maybe appreciate the other side of the argument.
Lastly, I do take offence at being called a religious bigot for expressing the views I did. I think it is a shame when you cannot express your views on a current topic( well it was current when I made the posting 15 months ago)without being branded for having an opinion. I have no wish to discuss this further as it is in danger of deteriorating into a slanging match which is neither pleasant or helpful to anyone. Thank you.

Regardless of a person's views,it should be possible to voice an opinion without being offensive and resort to name calling.We are adults not children in a playground.
