What's this "everyone" business? What's this "attacking Russ" business? Pardon me if I object to such a sweeping generalisation!

He is not personally responsible for what the various Christian faiths believe about a variety of issues.He can only comment from his own viewpoint.
And, for my part, that viewpoint is one that I am questioning (note, not "attacking"). He states that he will only recognise certain types of marriage, well that's his right, but whilst he has the right to hold that viewpoint doesn't mean that the rest of us should either have to accept it or *not* question it or object to it simply because it's "religious".

However so many of you think you can argue Russ out of his deeply held views and opinions just by attacking his beliefs.Not gonna happen,folks as all you are going to do that way, is put his back up and make him more committed.
Well, in which case he ought to be thanking "us" for making his "faith" even stronger...!!!
