1. That might be the most ridiculous story ever produced

The most rediculous EVER produced???

Well the story points out the incitement of violence so, that is rediculous...

So you don't agree?

You have to use the sarcasm emoticon for me to know you are being sarcastic.

You're being deliberately disingenuous as usual. Let me explain it simply for you: you were absolutely implying that I agree with violence; and emoticons have never worked on you before, why should I bother now?

Ever ever. Considering the thread title was "Christians Targeted" I assumed I would be reading an article of some organization that was targeting Christians or some defined evidence of violence against Christians.

Instead I got a story about blogs and blog comments.

I've saw worse comments on stories about Obama from Onenewsnow.com

I understand the need to rile up "the base". Its understandable. It doesn't preclude however the article from being anything other than trash.

Yes the bloggers are idiots for writing what they did. I don't disagree with that.. but writing a story about blogs and blog comments is weak.. at best.

Again.. civil unions at the federal level.. provides equal opportunity for all people. Marriages can be defined at the state level (but can't trump federal authority).. then each church can define whether or not they want to dole out marriage rites. It becomes much more "fee market" with value add scenarios.

I found the last part of this report very telling, and an interesting stereo typing of homosexual professions, i think i won't be eating out anytime too soon.

'Gay' threats target Christians over same-sex 'marriage' ban


godspeed,

WND is not news, It's just another biased evangelical rag, which has been screaming against gay rights for years now. If anyone is inciting hate it is and has always been evangelicals.

So you don't think what they are reporting actually happened?

No one wrote what it said they wrote?

Did you read the comments of the radicals?

godspeed,

I have no idea if what they are reporting actually happened, but did you scroll down the page and read the dozens of hateful anti gay stories they have posted? It seems their agenda dovetails with yours.

Be careful with assumptions, i'm just glad that marriage stays defined as 1 man and 1 women for at least a little while longer.

I don't think violence is right in any case. But the advocates of the American Revolution thought their freedom was worth the violence.

BTW, freedom, I find your name ironic since you want to take away freedoms of others.

Why? Other than your religious take on it, why does it matter to you? I am a straight lady, was married (once, for 18 years) to a man. But I really don't care who marries who as long as they are happy, loving and harm to one else. I just don't understand why anyone cares?

Never heard that one....


Who's freedoms do i wish to take away?

If there were an agenda to have to have all Atheists called Born again Christians, would you think i was taking your freedom away?

Marriage is defined as 1 man and 1 woman...

If gays want to be together, more power to them, (it is now decriminalized) they have the right to do what ever they wish. Just don't redefine marriage and take my freedom away.

godspeed,

freedom
