- his argument is essentially that people shouldn't be outraged at an organization making a decision in line with its stated beliefs. - znufrii Feb 18, 10:02 8
  - you expect them to go along with your beliefs because yours are objectively right? -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 10:03 7
    - I think he expects his outrage to be shared instead of pooh-poohed. -- nm - mara Feb 18, 10:05 1
      - not chared, necessarily, just validated. -- nm - znufrii Feb 18, 10:19
    - of course not. - znufrii Feb 18, 10:05 4
      - hmmm. I guess I'm conflicted. - loosilu Feb 18, 10:09 3

        Their conflict is that they (the church) would be "forced" to allow same-sex parents to foster kids. - JaxSean Feb 18, 10:19 1

Should the government be able to force them to? I think no. -- nm - TWuG Feb 18, 09:58 2
- They (religious orgs) get special treatment from the government. To keep that treatment, why shouldn't the government be able to make demands? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 18, 10:08 1
  - (think of the government as being the mafia in this hypothetical ... :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 18, 10:08
