Shinyed, what you just wrote is so true. Just ask Auraptor. There is a way out of the trouble though, you can always forget your conservative ideology, every conservative value, and all the common sense your parents instilled in you {or you picked up along the way} and become a blabbering liberal sheeple. Then you could happily move to San Francisco and become a bath-house attendant with a lisp.

Zeitgeist - agreed...and a duplicate post to yours over at whedonesque.
Perhaps CK assumed more of the posters are Mods/Admins?
Can't say for sure - but you are correct in pointing out that the comments did not come from Whedonesque mods and admins.
EDIT: I've deleted my previous comments...and not because I feel I was wrong, but because I'm really done with the intolerance. I just don't want to be a part of this, and am removing myself forthwith.

I can totally understand getting confused when you are that upset/frustrated, I've done the same thing. Just wanted it to be clear that this behavior does not have the support/agreement of the moderation and administration crew :)

I certainly do not condone bigotry, racism, or infringement of any persons right to their belief, but I sometimes find it hard to understand how some folks decide what path to follow. I was raised in a religious home and was taught a set of beliefs as prescribed by that particular religion. I have taken a more secular approach in my adult life.
I have read a bit about Mormonism, know members of LDS and we have had a few discussions about the religion. I can’t buy it. So many things about that sect seem wrong to me. As examples I give you the Mountain Meadows massacre or the incredible account of modern day Mormons in the book Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer.
I do not and will not discriminate against someone based on their beliefs, but I still reserve the right to form my on opinions. I see too many people these days being influenced in the name of religion and often they simply follow the crowd instead of learning all facts surrounding the belief. As has so often been stated, so many people have died in the name of religion that you have to truly wonder if there is indeed any divine entity or if this is a planet that will eventually be consumed by man’s inhumanity to man.

Browncoats are people, and people are flawed.

Well said. Thank You. I think we can end the discussion with your post.

The latter...ish. I posted this before you edited your original remark and then was forcibly removed from the computer. She was mumbling darkly-something about intervention-and I, as I do know what's good for me, obeyed. Alas, (a sweet lass!) she eyes me even now, as it is b-e-a-utiful here in Virginia Beach and I apparently have agreed to an outing in the park...
What I meant to imply is that for some, the only answer to such darkness is to become it.
It is possible that to kill is justifiable, but not, I think, to hate. That leads to the dark side, to revenge, which is by definition not justice, and so unjustifiable. Also, to be hated by one group, and to in turn hate some other, that's when the victim becomes the reaver.
I wish I could continue. Perhaps another time, another thread...
Until then- tautology!
