I disagree. The Vocal Christian Movement (I use this to separate them from real Christians) in this country is one of the most diliberately divisive groups around. If you do not think EXACTLY the way they do, you are OUT!!! Blacks (don't marry here in your own church because a few people don't want you to), homosexuals, Muslims, Jews, any other religion, bi-racial couples......you are all sinners, go away.
You are way wrong here. You do not "have freedom". You have a "right" to it, but as many of us who have been around the Horn know, you do not have freedom automatically at birth. As I said before, your were grossly mistaken in your diatribe against forming associations (which is a right, btw) that individuality insures/foments freedom, such that forming a group is somehow to be condemned. You have it completely backwards, and at this point, your logic about liberty is all pretzeled-up. If you do not form groups so as to preserve and defend your freedom, you will lose it. Obama and the liberals are taking our freedoms. They will only get mine form me when my cold dead hands can no longer hold it.
I think old John Prine pretty much summed it up 'Cos everybody's got to have somebody to look down on. Who they can feel better than at anytime they please. Someone doin' somethin' dirty, decent folks can frown on. If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me. [video=youtube;yCdfYkUPvTs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCdfYkUPvTs[/video]
Lol. Chick-fil-A Day was great, but the same exact thing for another business but by the opposite side? How terrible...
One positive thing you can say for the gays, they know how to generate free advertising for companies, not much else but heck ever little bit helps.
It depends on the person. Without spirituality and the Gospels I would be a lot meaner. My default is to think people are just a bunch of turds. And...they never really let me down in that regards, hence why someone like me needs the Beatitudes.
On the contrary, I have not seen anything in the news or posts to make me think otherwise. I know many, many wonderful Christians. Giving, loving, caring people. I also know many giving, loving caring people of many other religions and no religion at all. That is not now or will ever be how I view others. But the VCM targets anyone not towing their line of religious dogma. Think Focus on the Family, Mr. Cathy, Southern Baptist Churches, Michelle Bachman, Mike Huckabee....zero tolerance for any view point but their own. It's very blatant, very real, and easy to google.
Let's just call it a failed American experiment. They can crawl back underground again, they had their 4yrs in the sunlight. Thank God that's over!
Yes. Their "treatment" has been found harmful by all the major medical groups. Google the AMA and read about it. Thanks.
No. You made the claim. You said that they deliberately hurt people, and were full of "hate". Apparently you cannot document that absurdity.
No, I said Exodus caused harm. If you google the AMA site their position is there for you to read. Try it.
You said a lot of things. Here is what I took issue with: You have provided zero support for this claim. At this point, it is false.
OK. Humor time. Yes, there are anti-gay idiots. Behold one Michael Leisner starting a fire. [video=youtube;Bs7Y9iYf_uk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs7Y9iYf_uk[/video]
"Target" what a meaningless word. You mean they disagree with anyone not towing their line of religious dogma.
I'm sorry. WHEN is the Starbucks appreciation day?? Not that i'm going...that's some awful coffee as well as overpriced and not very good service.
Other than a disagreement on traditional marriage, what militant behavior has happened from those you mention?
