First, don't accuse me of such a thing and don't put words in my mouth, I said no such thing.
Where did I ever say we should go along with it all, I was trying to express the futility nowadays of going against the these people who just don' listen to rational debate.
I'm saying that the majority already believes it and we can't affect it much because the majority isn't exactly that open-minded to rational debate. We've reached a point where anything that goes against the popular consensus on this issue is considered bigotry and it'll take a longtime for the general mood to change.
We could all believe whatever we want, but what we believe matters little without enough people to make some voice to the government.
