Danzeman, you may only be shooting the breeze, but your claims of disinterest are at odds with your loaded language. Suppose somebody posted:
Back on-topic, research into church programmes to 'cure' gay people has shown that their success rate is very low; within the margin of statistical error in fact. It seems likely that sexual preference can be modified only marginally, and until those who claim that it is a choice can back that up with some hard, real-world data it would be better and more honest if they admitted that their belief was no more than that, and stopped confusing it with fact.
"I am tolerant of coloured people and as far as I'm concerned it's ok to be Jewish. Where I live it's more normal to be white, but I really don't mind if some people are abnormal and they can do what they like in the privacy of their own communities. Only their kids may be picked on for being different so it might be better if they didn't raise a family"
You can see what's wrong with that, right?
