No civil liberty too trivial.

you obviously arent familiar with them then, focus on the word RIGHTS and they do this often. Not "feelings" or "opinions" but RIGHTS
just a quick search that returned many many pages
The ACLU of New Jersey (2014) defended an orthodox Christian man’s right to wear his religious head-covering in a municipal courtroom.
ACLU appeal filed over man's hat in Egg Harbor City court - pressofAtlanticCity.com: Atlantic County News
The ACLU of Pennsylvania (2013) interceded on behalf of a Christian inmate seeking to have a communal pre-meal prayer during the Christmas holiday.
The ACLU of Washington (2013) supported the right of Orthodox Christian, Hindu, and Muslim employees to an accommodation for their religious dietary needs.

These are not issues of defending immorality or bad behavior.
That is the clumsiest attempt at a No True Scotsman I've ever seen....ever. You were asked how you felt about the ACLU defending Christian rights, you responded you'd let him know if you learn of any such cases, I provided those cases.
So...how do you feel about that ACLU defending Christians?
You're comparing common sense to immoral.
The cases you quoted are so "vanilla" that they don't meet the true definition of defending.
The aclu has a very dubious track record towards Christianity and it's symbols. They almost always fight to remove Christianity from public places and where they have defended it it's more of a speech issue rather than a religious on, nice try though.
That's true. We are comparing common sense things like equality under the law to immoral religious nonsense. But the first amendment even protects immoral religious nonsense. That's why no one is assaulting your churches (and of course you don't care about mosques or synagogues) and why you will never face legal discrimination for your religious beliefs. The people you are trying to trample are already displaying a higher moral fiber than you and yours.
For example, in 2001, the group interceded with a school district in Michigan that had deleted a high school senior's yearbook entry because she included a Bible verse. In 2002, the ACLU filed a brief on behalf of a pastor associated with Operation Rescue who was prevented from participating in a parade because his pro-life poster showed a photograph of an aborted baby. And last September, the organization joined a lawsuit on behalf of a New Jersey second-grader who was not allowed to sing "Awesome God" in a school talent show. (All of these examples are easily accessible on several Web pages now devoted to defending the ACLU 's record on Christianity.)
Yup, keep moving those goalposts so you can hold to the narrative that the ACLU is the natural enemy of the faithful. The ACLU is well acquainted with this false perception, so it's compiled a...warning!...rather lengthy list of cases in which it's defended faiths of all kinds.

There may be over fifty items on that last, maybe more. Admittedly I stopped counting at thirty.

My argument with homosexuals is forcing the marriage issue. I was always in support of the same rights but they didn't have to foul marriage in the process.
That's your opinion there are many of us who still consider homosexuality as a form of perversion. That opinion would easily help someone to reach the opinion that marriage has been fouled. I can never accept homosexuals because of this and what will be coming next. The legal assault on our churches.
I know you have all the answers so keep doing what you do. I knew an individual who exercised their rights once and the word got out not a company would hire them because of the potential mess they might cause.
You're comparing common sense to immoral.
Look the aclu are a group of socialist bullies. If they defended Christianity, even by accident, it was because they couldn't find an angle that served they're pathetic existence.
There are many valid reasons but if your not willing to learn and that's your happy place, then be happy larry. You've settled on a narrow progressive view of the situation then there's no point discussing it?
Your argument is one of the typical one always made in defense of homosexual marriage but it doesn't fly in the face of the facts. Homosexuality is not a race issue it's the dumbing down of morality to make a very small group feel included at any cost.
