Yet here there is a fundamental difference. These protesters don't want anything ADDED for others. They want something REMOVED.Originally posted by: WinstonSmith

Refusing to grant fundamentalists special rights is not oppressing them.Originally posted by: sao123
its ok for civil rights groups to boycott and protest in favor of gay rights, womens rights, rights for this race and that race. But hey... the christians? they are fundamentalists they dont deserve no rights. So... we want all the rights that the minoritys deserve, but lets oppress the religious conservative majority.
While the SAO's post is not the best example of the King's English, he didn't say christians were wanting special rights. I think he was pointing out some hypocracy in that some groups seem to be permitted to protest, yet others are frowned upon for doing so because in the personal POV of an individual it has not merit. It is not OUR place to make that decision as to whether it's "special"
Gays get to protest, and others get to protest against them and they can all go on hell bent for recursion forever, just as long as the protests are peaceful.
Giving rights would be, say, them getting a movie made, and having it shown, that is creationist-centric.
OTOH, I doubt it makes much difference in this case.
