I am desperate to prevent the breaking of hearts over something that really does not matter at the end of the day.How important are our genitals when it comes to the feeling of love in our hearts? Gosh I really hope you don't have a child that's gay and if you do, I really really hope that your minds will have changed or will change once you realise how much love exceeds our physical selves. How death can quickly show you that it was never really about our physical existence, it was and is always about the love we feel for one another. IP: Logged |

To step back for a moment, my point is: We ALL mostly have become little consumerist monkeys, drones in the hive so to say. The only thing that is cooking out is who the consumer dejour every couple of years who politically must be pandered to in order to (snicker) have power acquiesced to them be "we the ppl" (snicker) All packaged, how nice, why bother to think, and what is the amount of the political donation you'd like to make to "stop" the evil, outside of the mainstream, regressive so and so who is trying to stop us!"

Except the free exercise clause doesn't disappear by keeping that separation, that's kind of the entire point... In what way does it vanish? My opinion is that gay marriage should be legal not to be "accredited by God" (I don't believe in such things lol) but because there are very practical financial and legal benefits available to straight couples that homosexual couples are denied on a legal/religious basis (religion being the justification). So in a way the state is benefiting by keeping it illegal Primarily though I see this as a moral issue and find it ridiculous that so many ppl are brainwashed like unintelligent sheep into discriminating against others for something that the "church condemns". As has gone on with racism in the past, sorry to those who disagree but this won't be tolerated in future generations... IP: Logged |

B/c things do not work that way, if a Valedictorian speech wishes to credit Jesus for her success, it is forbidden, via prior edit, under your Doctrine. Now I am of a mind of if a Community wishes to have a display, then fine, if voluntarily paid for, not from taxpayers $$ We are way way past that now, and that is derailing the thread so sonus silenti IP: Logged |

I hope we do so I can punch 'em in the neck! No, I hope you know that I'm kidding. lol Barbie always says that I'll be a big softy. Probably true... I'll scold them when needed but probably play catch, Barbie, whatever they like. Go to school functions... Give them money when they need it. Maybe give them the "what for" if I'm paying for a screw up. Most of all protect them tooth and nail. Like Barbie said though... If they're gay then we'll cross that road when it comes. It's not as if you have to hate them. It's a tough thing... But it's just a thing that has to be faced if it comes. IP: Logged |

Let a movement grow that does not give two ***** about what the State wants, and see the reaction.
Firstly, I am not American. I do understand that appointments of judges are political, especially in the higher courts as they are here, Australia;
Secondly, what you say might have some truth concerning the power of money but; Thirdly, you really from words to the effect of "some understanding", that you don't have an understanding of the judiciary and how it operates. Do you think that the average judge is some automaton? Their opinions may have some sway from politics but I assure you that judges agonise over the judgments they deliver. Got an issue with a view? I imagine he system is the same here as it is in the US, petition your local member and take it from them. Launch an action on a technicality in a court if you see fit as well. More or less, over time and with appeals systems and juries, the judicial system gets it right.

Mmmkay then. It's slightly embarrassing but I was in choir during high school and remember the majority of our songs during the holidays were Christian, no other religions, and this was public school... There is separation of church and state but only when it is convenient for the dominant beliefs... Which was my main point But by all means go on to discuss things that won't derail the thread

And I would say such Sbutle embracing is the worst of fates, far far better to not take the half step of singing "Noel" and let us sing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer to drop the illusion, A Christian saying such things?!?!  See, what the non Trad lobby will discover is there is literally no level that the State and the politicos will not stoop to to pander to it, then, when it becomes inconvenient, they to will be tossed overboard, or marginalized. Meanwhile, the operative pov, person to person, not State to person, will be long lost, the sowing will be reaped. To quote the Sopranos.."2.80 a pound" IP: Logged |

Don't get me wrong I have no problem with ppl singing Noel during the holidays... Just saying I know it's the suburbs and MN is barely outside of the Bible Belt but not everyone is a white, born again Christian, it's a public school so why not even bother pretending to be tolerant of other cultures/religions and throw anything else in the mix? Meanwhile Muslim prayer is banned on school premises and gay kids are being bullied while teachers turn a blind eye or even join in on the insults... Yeah makes a lot of sense

BS, and schools can have "dress like a muslem day" when such is unthinkable for a Christian to do? Heh My advice to Christians is to withdraw, have nothing to do with such an unrighteousness. When "you are not welcomed" signs come up, take heed, sleep in the manger, accomodations are sparse, but far more loving. Shun this system, leave it, better to spend time with your family then to bother with engaging in it. Hardcore? perhaps, when "Christians need not apply" is writ large..adios..good luck with that IP: Logged |

I'm sorry I'm just kind of confused as to what you even mean... Are you a Christian Padre? That's an honest question, I never got that impression from you until now... And I guarantee you it's not BS at least from my personal experience, but hey that's the Midwest for you... Makes me want to vomit profusely lol IP: Logged |

Oh my yes, however not in the brain sickly "bang you over the head with my Faith" sort of way. I'm merely a witness and observer, in a way that is what I'm meant to do..does not pay very well tho To my world view, what has happened is the slime that is politicos, have spread sheeted and focused grouped what is thought of as Christianity..to gain power. Abortion, non trad marriage, even welfare, all reduced to slogans..that work on the simple. Now what bothers me, is when I see such simple Faith abandoned by the very political masters that have led us all to this place. Makes me smell smoke a bit tbh IP: Logged |

this should peak some keyword searches, based on what I've seen:-gloryhole -skinparty -fisting these are never discussed, since the only cure for hate speech is more speech, let the discussion be had IP: Logged |

Interesting! I think we see things similarity in terms of the corruption of politics, just on the opposite side of the coin so to speak... Christianity is a justification for political agendas but that requires ppl to "have faith" not abandon it Simple minded and dumbed down go hand in hand with the church imo which I know is an offensive thing to say but just being honest. Abortion, gay marriage, etc, are "emotional" issues that politicians focus on to distract from much larger problems.. IP: Logged |

Which means..politicalized Christians..are being played..as are non trads Dangle bait, disregard one on one relationships for whatever cause has been spiked into the sub consciousness Welcome to the Red Pill so to say I do have to wonder how many non Trad couples realize, if legalized, they fall into the trap Trad couples have fallen into? I'm not happy, I get half, and the kids to!"!

Well, you can be one of them too. You live in the US, it's considered a democracy. Concerned with what's going on? Join a party to your liking, get pre-selection and run. Stop taking cheap shots at the legal system. IP: Logged |

B/c in the US, politics is viewed, such as it is, via messaging, ie, don't think, just listen to the msg. Granny not a fan of non trad marriage? Homophobe!

Does not work that way 23, offices are controlled via 2 parties, really they are one party, with the illusion of differnce. No way a Righteous person would even bother IP: Logged |

Yeah I get where you're coming from honestly... But then what's your issue with homosexuality really? I mean from a moral viewpoint?
