Well said.

You can beleive whatever you want, but if you start to take it out on other people and interefering with the lives of others in ways that are unlawful/inhumane, then you have problems.

Also, this video seems to target God as portrayed by Christianity, and I dont think much harm has come from Christianity in the last 500 years.

Certainly. It's whether people choose to act on their beliefs.

I would disagree, and I know a few gay people who would disagree with you, too.
