A few problems with this statement.
1. Of course millions of homosexuals would disagree. Some people think drugs are bad, hashers and crack heads disagree. So who's right? Who knows? Certainly not you.That's why everyone gets an opinion. No one asked you to agree or to like it.
2."A bunch of men surpressing other peoples rights especially women". I'm sorry but you'll have to give some specific examples before I can give that statement any credit at all.
3."The bible and other religious storybooks are just the very cause that theres hatred and bigotry among the races and people". I don't remember reading anything in my Bible that encouraged me to be a racist or a bigot, and for all my time spent subscribing to the teachings of the Bible I can't recall being accused of racism or bigotry once(except maybe for my chosen screen name/counterstrike handle). You're generalizing and assuming with no factual basis whatsoever. I'm glad you have strong opinions but you owe it to yourself to base them on something.
As for "Mr.Religious", I certainly don't doubt your story. But don't blame the bible for someones actions that clearly violate the teachings therein. First, many people attack other people for being black/white/asian/gay whatever, it's not like every gay person that has ever been attacked was attacked by a christian, or even attacked for being gay. Not to mention that I myself was jumped on the street once because I didn't smoke weed. That's right, a hash based hate crime. So do I assume that all pot smokers are out to get all non-smokers? Well that would be a little crazy, wouldn't it?
