This thread has taken a large detour I see. Time to kill it? Soo many posts coming in that I can't even keep up anymore.

You want to deny a right to a specific group based off a fundamental belief that not everyone shares, this is bigotry. This is a secularist government, you don't get to choose who has the right to marry or not based on religion.

A. Marriage isn't a "right". B. You want to redefine marriage. You are bigoted against 1 man/1 woman marriage. My voice and opinion are just as valid as anyone elses. You seem to be implying that since I am a Christian, I shouldn't have a right or vote or an opinion; that is very scary and seems extremely bigoted to me.

Religion is proving time and again to be an outdated, negative influence on our society.
Uh..........over 85% of the worlds charities and relief organizations are Christian and/or religious not for profits. If we did away with relifion, as you scarily appear to be implying, then who will care for the poor, sick and needy? On a sie note, more people have died under the hands of secularism/Marxism than any other ideology inthe world. Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin, Lenin, Tito, Mussolini, all purported to subscribe to humanism/secularism/atheism. Whoever has educated you has done a really poor job, you seem to have never heard an opposing view.

Again, rebuttals in bod and italics.

And there we have it folks; In the mind of a radical leftist, A conservative Christian who has donated millions to poor and needy children is compared to a murderous mob boss. Yet, we're the "bigots."

Sigh, I was only highlighting that the good things someone does not negate the bad they have done. I was not suggesting that CFA ceo is a murderous mob boss.


Furthermore, you don't know me or my political beliefs. The fact that you have repeatedly characterize me and anyone that disagrees with you as "radical leftists" says a lot more about you than me. Quite frankly my beliefs are complex and nuanced and I don't believe in boxing myself in any one category. It's shame you think in either/or terms.

You said CFA made that tweet and they obviously did not. The tweet comes from someone else not CFA themselves.

It came from Rick Warren via Cathy. I'd say he's a credible source.
