It's not that they're "unpopular" here; it's that they're factually incorrect.
Because someone is called out that they just got their facts wrong? Ludicrous.
I find this all so amusing, as a gay man, favoring gay marriage, who is an atheist.
Hint: it is not all about me - or you. We try to work out these disagreements in a civil and reasoned way, without traducing the character of the opposition. That at least is the ideal. It is good to try to live up to it in my opinion. I at least try to. It's
my morality.
