Random quotes …

I find that it is generally wise to listen up when an octogenarian war veteran is telling you what it means to be an American. They fought for it, their buddies died for it, and they’ve had a lot of time to think about it.

No, it’s not Christianity as a whole that is a problem. It is the people who say they are Christians and do not actually practice following the most important commandments Christ mentioned in Mtt 22:37-40, Mrk 12:28-34 who are the problem.

(For the curious the quote is: When Jesus was asked, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” he replied, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind’ – this is the great and foremost commandment, and there is a second like it, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself’. The whole Law and Prophets hang on these two commands.”)

There are many out there who SAY they are Christians; however, they are what I’d call “lip service Christians”. They do not love their neighbors as themselves because no one persecutes themselves as they often do other people.

As a Christian whose faith does NOT persecute or disallow homosexuality, I don’t blame one person who is gay or lesbian, for being tired of the fundamentalist Christians who profess to live according to the Bible. If they did, they’d be living QUITE differently… show more

On living in a secular society…

The founding fathers would be aghast if they saw the embrace our nation has made of perversion in recent decades. The tyranny of the sub-minority has hit full tilt. “Equal rights,” my foot. You mean special rights for homosexuals, and lessened likelihood for a child to be reared in a proper home.

Oh noes the founding fathers would be aghast um actually they weren’t Christians and I bet they are glad we are living up to who we should be as a country. Secular government is secular hmm somehow social conservatives don’t get that… “All men are created equal” NOT “All men are created equal unless they are gay.”

“Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise” James Madison

“The question before the human race is, whether the God of Nature shall govern the world by his own laws, or whether priests and kings shall rule it by fictitious miracles” John Adams

“This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it” hmm I wonder if that is pro-religious, lulz.

Also how is a homosexual relationship any less equal than a heterosexual one in a SECULAR society. I love (to hate) how you act as if you are the being oppressed, you are the majority and in a democracy government is set up not only to protect the many from the few but the few from the many. “Lessened likelihood for a child to be reared in a proper home” Proper as far as a 100 percent straight god-fearing zombie outcome. Proper to me is a good productive law obedient citizen in that context a homosexual or heterosexual doesn’t have any effect on the average of outcomes.
