A new coffeeshop openned in the strip mall 2 blocks away. I'd made a comment that I'd Feel Uncomfortable going in because of it's blatently Christian Decore(the sign has the Crusifiction, the windows Crosses and Fish and from what I can see through it Crosses and Biblical quotations on all the walls...). Appeaarantly, being non-Christian and Feeling Uncomfortable in such a place makes me a Bigot;>.
Now, I don't have a problem with members of ANY group prefering to support "Them and Theirs". I DO when I get called a Bigot when I DON'T give my support to them. I'm not a member of the "We're all Protoplasm Jiggling together" club. I Beleive that different Folks ARE Different. This doesn't mean anything beyond that....DIFFERENT. I'd HATE a garden with only one plant in one colour and I Feel the same about the Human "garden". I also don't bBeleive that the differences are "Cosmetic". Every time I hear that arguement I'm reminded of a character in one of David Eddings' series who Beleived that all People were the same, that the Differences(language, religion,etc) were simply "Cussedness" of Foreigners trying to be "Foreign";>....
Cheers,
