My whole point (and only point) has been that both sides are really the same, just goals and methods are different. There is "forcing" (fine I give up flint) done on both sides. Liberals want force other to pay taxes that support causes that some tax payers don't. I've know many many liberals who try to force you to support pro-choice, adopt a vegetarian lifestyle, give up religion, accept samesex marriage, they believe that their way is right and the conservatives believe that there way is right. BOTH sides are the same!

What meaning of the word "force" are you using here? A law to make you "support" pro-choice? A law banning the sale or consumption of meat? A law preventing the practice of religion? How do you "force" someone to "accept samesex marriage"? If it happens, you can accept it or not and it won't make any difference either way. I guess that depends on how you react if you don't accept it, but as long as you don't start harrassing them or something I don't think anyone will "force" you to do anything about it.

Exactly, and it is directed at the ones who do anyway.

I did read from the begining of the story. I still don't see how it's out of context.

"Should" being the operant word.

Really? I saw it more as a spoof on what lengths some religions - even christianity - will go to in order to get people to convert.

The comic after it says that's bullshit, they shouldnt act like that, but MY point is that they DO act like that, especially the last lines.

I define any group of people by how they do act, not how they should. There are no "special rules" for any group.

(note: denying special treatment is not persecution)
