tradition is meaningless to law and rights
history is meaningless to law and rights
rule of law is against your views and proves some of them 100% factually false
we dont vote on equal rights

people are trying to infringing on them and that is being fought against and the courts are correcting the states overstepping thier powers and infringing on rights

Too many opinions, not enough FACTS.

What does it matter?

God and Religion are an individual experience. Please do not apply your beliefs to others.

Those Biblical verses are written for everyone but they're not directed at anyone. Nor did I demand you read them.

I do believe 'our' freedom of speech allows me to post them.

Aiming religious notions at people who do not want or desire them are at the core of many of the world's problems today. History has taught this concept rather well....

Yet it's explicitly spelled out in the Const that we will base our laws on the secular...so that even those NOT recognizing the Bible are treated equally. (Reader's Digest version of course)

No one is repressing Texan's right to practice their religious principles.

That was my point.

I do. I'm a practicing Christian. That is how I conduct *my* life. How I vote and view how the country is run? I vote based on the Constitution.

How did the world survive before the bible?

I've heard your type of argument many, many times and it's a spin that religions love to disseminate.

What exact principles in the bible are you talking about? And John Adams would really disagree with you.

No, what that sounds like is YOUR personal problem. You hate the fact religion and it's followers exist at all.

Umm, Texans voted to ban SSM and now 'someone' is trying to over-rule that decision. That someone being a single individual.

What would call that?
 
I'm not going to argue the merit of an argument once you go there I'm done.
Lursa said:
Is that a reply to me? A non-reply actually.

Most people that enter a discussion are actually capable of conducting a rational argument....perhaps you could try a blog of one-liners and see if anyone is interested.

Or or or...you could just admit when you dont have an argument.

As Christians we're suppose to love the souls of the lost and seek to win them to Christ.

We must lead as an example to our children and grandchildren so they won't become lost souls.

That's all good and nice, but you still are not supposed to judge others, whether you think they are wrong in their reading/interpretation of the Bible or not. That is not your place to decide. It is only your place to point others in the way you think they should go, not to try to force them to go that way.

You are free to act as you wish. If you wish to act in an unAmerican manner, that's your choice (it is America afterall).

I have no trouble being a Christian AND an American.

They made that vote many years ago.

And, Virginians and South Carolinians voted (in some way) to ban interracial marriages. How did that work out for them?
 
WCH said:
Because as Christians are not suppose to ignore sin and allow it to fester.

You are not prohibited from speech. Are you not doing so here?

As for 'allowing' well there are limits to how you can 'act' on others of course. Rights, infringement, all that pesky secular Constitutional stuff.
