" So you apparently believe that everyone in the history of civilization prior to maybe 30 years ago who collectively, if not almost universally believed the opposite were less intelligent than you."In a nutshell, yes. Brilliant thinkers have of course come and gone throughout human history, but the masses will always be ignorant fools under the influence of biased political figures and bigoted religion. To bring up a topic mentioned elsewhere in this giant web of replies, slavery was a common and accepted practice until quite recently in human history, and I'm sure you don't doubt that now as a society we know that it has always been wrong. The same will come to pass for people who poke their noses into the private lives of others - indeed it is already happening. As you mentioned, the last 30 years or so we have come to a point, culturally, where we question hatred and prejudice towards those who have a different sexual preference than society considers normal.And if you don't think growing to a world population of seven billion, eating 200lbs of meat per year per capita(in the US alone), burning 85 million barrels of oil per day(worldwide) and decimating 90% of the worlds rainforest isn't contributing to a significant change in our atmosphere then the only obvious conclusion is that you belong right up there in the middle of those masses I mentioned earlier.   See 45 other replies

As always seems to be the case in these debates, your arguments can be used against you as well. You say you accurately describe people as ignorant bigots because they act as such. I say we accurately describe liberal thinking as lacking in depth because it is obvious that a rational, unbiased, thoughtful person would come to more conservative conclusions in many cases.For example, you presumably (from the views your post espouses) believe gay marriage should be allowed. The vast majority of liberals seem to. So you apparently believe that everyone in the history of civilization prior to maybe 30 years ago who collectively, if not almost universally believed the opposite were less intelligent than you. With the possible exception of some small isolated primitive tribes, everyone in the history of human reproductive and family relationships have been ignorant bigots. Is that the sort of deeply intellectual, rational, fully informed, self aware thinking that you believe your side has the corner on?Or perhaps that all the fluctuations in global temperature that even you would agree have happened over the earth's history prior to man's emitting significant quantities (when man even existed) of carbon dioxide don't mean anything; only evil civilized man is now capable of causing (possible, computer model predicted) miniscule increases in global temperature. Perhaps that's the deep thought you mean.   See 45 other replies
