Spreading a message of tolerance and inclusion.

Now that's a straw man fallacy, textbook. You are priceless fair play.

The fact they knighted someone like Saville, or canonised the awful Albanian nun, doesn't suggest they have a firm grasp of morality as I understand it.

Ok. So what?

It doesn't suggest they have a firm grasp of morality as I understand it. As I said???

 

[Sheldon]

Wow - how "moral" of you - and taking down a flag doesn't hurt anyone.

It sends a message of religious bigotry and intolerance.

Their opposition of contraception, especially in developing nations, some of them where AIDS was endemic, has cause untold suffering and death.

Sure - ok - and they were forcing people to have unprotected sex at gun point?

Straw man fallacy.

 

[Sheldon]

Children rarely have the authority to decide what events to attend.

Or to avoid superstitious indoctrination into religious hatred, that teaches them to despise and persecute people, just because they happen to be gay.

yet they get hysterical about the termination of an insentient blastocyst.

Murder of not-yet-born children.

Legal abortions are not murder, by definition, and no abortions ever involve children.

Slipped away and ran away are the same thing.

You think so? "And they rose up and put him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong. But passing through the midst of them he went away."

He sometimes said, 'My hour is not yet come' meaning his crucifixion. And when that time drew near he knew what would happen. He had spoken on occasion about people needing to 'take up your cross and follow me' but few grasped what that meant.
