I just gave you the reason.

Would you date a ' Liberal' or 'Evangelical ' Christian?
- Thread starter Who Me
- Start date
And I replied! Again, because I am both a liberal and a Christian, as are most of my friends, your reasoning is false. It has the air of bigotry.
Bigotry for having preferences? For recognizing real differences that could lead to an incompatible relationship?
Any bigot can say that s/he dislikes someone else because of "preferences", for example, dark skin. If you don't want to date a person because you have political differences, then don't. I can assure you that you are the one who is losing out by your rigidity.
Successful relationships are built on love, trust, and concern for the other person's happiness and welfare. Not on political ideologies. You have created your own prison!
I don't want to date them because I don't want to be called a bigot for having preferences or because I disagree with them on one topic or another.
Relationships are built on commonalities. If you have nothing in common, what's the relationship going to be like? Probably not good.
The point I'm trying to make is, why would I purposely put myself in this kind of situation when I have other options that are far more appealing and have a greater chance of success?
You are narrowing your ability to get along with others because you put your political ideology first. I feel sorry for anyone who would date you.
I get along with liberals that are respectful and don't call me a bigot. Which are usually older liberals. The young ones see bigotry everywhere they go.
They remind me of the Christians in the satanic panic years. Demons everywhere, even in your breakfast cereal. How can i get along, much less date, someone like that? It isn't me that's putting my political ideology first. It's them. I'm putting my sanity first.
Oh now I see: it's THEM! Do you think that you are respectful of liberals?
It is them. I don't go around calling other people bigots if they disagree with me or have their own preferences.
No, you just refuse to socialize with them. LOL!!!
As well we should.
What was it Paul said about being unequally yoked? (2 Cor 6:14-15)
You mean like the very thing I'm doing now?
I have no idea what you're doing now.
You're a liberal. We are conversing.
But we're not dating! Don't you remember writing this: I don't want to date them because I don't want to be called a bigot for having preferences or because I disagree with them on one topic or another.
Yeah, but we're socializing. I'm proving what I've been saying all along. I may not date them, but I'm willing to talk to them.
How kind of you! You're willing to actually talk to them!
Against my better judgment.
Okay. I have better things to do with my time than continue this discussion. Bigotry is bigotry. Period.
