If I'm wrong about the actual context -- and you're in a much better position to judge than I am -- then I'm wrong.
I agree with many in the gallery who have observed the unique rhetorical blind spot common among conservative Christian political activists, and I emphasize again that I don't support that flavor of political activism.
But I am concerned about backlash; just as I favor respect for same-sex couples, I favor respect for sincerely held religious beliefs, so long as those beliefs are not used to impinge on the rights of others. I have known conservative Christians who didn't (to my knowledge, at least) demonstrate the rhetorical blindness discussed here; indeed, I used to play D&D with a couple of them a great many moons ago, as twilight2000 may recall. Your acquaintance is evidently not one of these -- but I wasn't sure of that earlier, and wanted to at least explore the possibility.
