Not trying to be sarcastic, but you should go back and read the post. Did I misunderstand? Were you asking him to look up the meaning of "christian" or was there another word in his post to which you referred?
If it was the word "christian," then I was NOT off-topic. Please be more focused.
What is the sacrilege in offending Christians?

[/b][/quote]It is quite sacrilegious to affront/slight, Christians, Buddhist, Muslims, Taoist or any persons in a religious office. Also, the improper reception of any object and/or entity deemed holy/consecrated by a higher-power or the general consensus of a group is considered sacrilegious.

sacrilegious adj. 1. Disrespectful toward something sacredROFANE 2. Guilty of sacrilege.
I doubt that sacrilegious was the appropriate word since Christians tend to be mortal and not part of the diety.

The complete definition encompasses people as well.

Sacrilegous basically means showing irreverence for something sacred, but if I'm not of that particular religion, it's not sacred to me. I mean, it's cool that you get your own groovy little word to protect your particular interest, homosexuals have "homophobe" too.
I'm so sick of little ego-shattered cretins running the world. Grow some balls, no one owes it to you to tiptoe around your religious mythologies even if YOU think they do.
Hey, if you practised some of the good ideas in the good book instead of using your religion to put yourself on a pedastal above your fellow man, you just might not ilicit the same responses as you are getting now. Just a thought.

[/b][/quote]I have Webster's II, and that is the complete definition I have. For the record:
Sacrilege- desecration, profanation or theft of something sacred.
If you are asserting that the popularised meaning encompasses people, I won't argue that. I will state simply that I do not consider a person sacred just because they profess to follow a certain faith.
If I am not unrinating on the Bible or stealing the communion warfers from the church, I don't see how I am committing sacrilege, not that it would bother me if I did. This is another case, to me, of pseudo-Christians trying to cast a shadow over anyone not conforming to their views.
I would vote for "falsely perceived hypocrisy."
Lexically, perhaps. But not within the contextual parameters you set up in the first sentence of your original post.

As much as a homosexual, like you, should just "have to deal" with intolerance?

[/quote]By your definition, this could also be sacrilegious. And you don't see any hypocrisy there, do you?

[/b][/quote]clue time: i'm not a "homosexual"
as for "intolerance", i couldn't give a shit whether some nobody wants to "tolerate" me or not. I'm already here; if idiots wanna twist their panties over what i do in my free time, that's their problem. ain't nothing they can do about it that i'm not ready for.

Let's define what it means to be a homosexual. I'll set the official boundaries right now. If the mere thought of another man's penis or anus doesn't make you want to vomit, you're a homosexual.
