I laugh at your posts which mention vitriol, yet you clearly have more "vitriol" than anyone else on this site.
"I haven't addressed the issue of the constition bc "

bc you cannot respond to that, because there is no response...

"Evangelicals are a bunch of bigots "

First, it was the Christians in this country who led the fight against slavery and segregation. So if they are bigots, they aren't very good at bigotry. Second, having made that blanket statement, you forfeit any and all right to accuse anyone of painting everyone with the same broad brush. You often criticize me for doing that, yet somehow, it's OK when you do it.

"You haven't answered the question why they needed a law passed that allowed them discriminate?"

Yes, I did. You yourself are living, breathing (mouth-breathing) proof that there are people who would deny them their constitutional rights.
