Bigot, Homophobic, Racist

I've been called homophobic, bigot, intolerant, racist, close minded and ignorant. And all because I have an opinion and don't mind expressing my views. Why is that liberals resort to calling me names then throw a bloody fit if I label them a liberal, progressive or naive? There is a great disparity between those two sets of terms.

Everyone is entitled to believe what they wish, even if its stupid and wrong in my opinion. There was a day when people with opposing views respected dissenting views and could carry on a civil discussion without attacking each other. Today that seems not to be the case.

Recently, I was attempting explain my view regarding gay marriage to a person I know. Personally, I disagree that homosexuality is a condition a person is born with. That is what "I" believe. I see evidence in the Word of God that this is true. As I said it is what I believe. And for having that solemn belief was labeled homophobic, not only that but ignorant and was accused of violating a homosexual's civil rights by believing what I believe.

The Left's tactic is to marginalize our conservative beliefs, especially if they are Christian. To paint our convictions as being archaic and not in step with modern views. But they miss the point entirely. Most conservatives are quite comfortable with their beliefs, they don't need polls, or a majority to support their views. They are not looking to convert anyone and could care less if anyone else agrees with their position. It is simply that which they believe, nothing more or less.

Liberals on the other hand seem compelled to change our minds. They view Christian values as quaint and archaic. They agree with no interpretation of beliefs that involve accountability, and seemed embroiled in a perpetual "gray" area. To them nothing is absolute. Even though the world is filled with them. Relativism is their religion and any system of belief that doesn't allow acceptance of all things is an anachronism. There is no evil and good is defined as what is good for you, regardless of morality. Morals after all are personal standards gleaned after years of self-discovery, not learned behavior passed on from parents to children. Tradition is out, and progressiveness is in.

With all their lofty rhetoric, why are calling us haters, bigots, and racists? If our opinions are so narrow and behind the times why are they even bothering with confronting them? Seems to me if they were so correct the need for confrontation is mute.
