When you trade in confronting controversial topics like I do here, you expect to come across activists defending their issues. It just occurred to me, however, after all this time, that activist's methods of pushing their respective causes are nearly identical, but with a different message. For … [Read more...]
I think it's probably the norm for one generation to the next to believe the culture is in a state of moral decline. Of course this all depends on your worldview's standard of ethic. Depending on what you view as morally good and morally bad will shape how you view the moral direction of the culture … [Read more...]
https://twitter.com/anarchic_teapot/status/272496292456984576 You see, nothing I've written suggests that I believe homosexuals are not human; and it's not just my opinion that suggests same-sex sexual relationships are unhealthy physically and mentally: research and statistics bear this out. … [Read more...]
(Examiner.com) -- One day after endorsing gay marriage proposals in Washington and Maine, President Obama told MTV viewers Friday that he would not be pushing gay marriage in his second term, ABC News reported. According to Obama, "it would be up to future generations of Americans to implement … [Read more...]
This past election cycle was significant for reasons other than re-electing President Barack Obama. The citizens of four states: Maryland, Maine, Minnesota, and Washington voted on and approved ballot measures legalizing same-sex marriage. In only one other instance has this issue been put to the … [Read more...]
OK, so after some time to let the dust settle and having dismantled the noose from my basement rafters, I think we can see some good news and bad news about the next four years. I certainly don't think the hyper-Conservative outlook of America morphing into a North Korea-esque full on … [Read more...]
People used to know what tolerance entailed. It was understood that even though your views were different from someone else's, you still treated them with respect. This view of tolerance has been abandoned for the most part by people who hold what are generally considered liberal views: … [Read more...]
I am always surprised at some of the terms people plugged into a search engine and found their way to my site. Some I understand, other I couldn't even replicate, let alone dicypher why on Earth search giants like Google or Bing would associate them with me. So Here's a peek into how some of you … [Read more...]
I have asked this question of supporters of same-sex marriage in a critical way in the past. I often wonder why it is important to you that I know your sexual proclivities. I don't particularly think this is information I essential for me to know regardless of your sexual identification, but it … [Read more...]
Rights are kind of a tricky issue. We have come a long way from the past where rights were fewer. What I mean is today we seem to have more rights than in previous generations. Put another way, rights are things we as citizens are entitled to in virtue of our citizenship, they're what we're owed. … [Read more...]
I had been thinking about doing a post like this for a little while now. Here I've narrowed my top ten favorite posts from over the past three years. In no particular order: What Gives You The Right? Many defenders of abortion go further than claiming elective abortion is a right, they claim it is … [Read more...]
Apparently today is a day observed by the gay community encouraging homosexuals who have kept their sexual proclivities private, to make those proclivities public. As a heterosexual I can completely empathize, I know how important it is that everyone knows I am sexually attracted to women. It is … [Read more...]
Wally encapsulates a lot of people...too many. We all know people like this, they have "strong" opinions on many things: Abortion, same-sex marriage, politics, and religion. The problem is that they seem to be impervious to any reasoning whatsoever. Wallys don't like to argue about their … [Read more...]
I have been told time and time again that there is no "gay agenda". I will concede that the average supporter of same-sex marriage is not an activist pushing an agenda. But it's difficult to believe this agenda doesn't exist when middle school students are inculcated with what appears to be the … [Read more...]
The Jesus who said don't judge, and preached love and forgiveness, was the same Jesus who said that He was the only way to God; unless you believe that, you'll die in your sins; people need to stop sinning; Christians need to tell you about Him; and marriage is between a man and a woman. Just … [Read more...]
If one thing about society as a whole perturbs me more than any other, it is the constant threat of offence. For someone who cares whether they unintentionally offend someone, they must maneuver through euphemisms every time they voice their opinion on a controversial topic. As for myself, I don't … [Read more...]
1. If Jesus did not mention a subject, it cannot be essential to his teachings. Aside from being a complete non-sequitur, Rigby fails to make some important distinctions about certain details of Christian belief. Jesus did have something to say on the nature of marriage in Mark 10: that it was made … [Read more...]
If you support traditional marriage, how often have you heard, "how will allowing same-sex marriage affect you?" And if you support same-sex marriage, how often have you said this? The thing is that the act of men marrying men or women marrying women doesn't have much of an effect. It's the … [Read more...]
Below is a video taken via cell phone. This man waits in line for some time for his free water just to harass whomever it is that has the unfortunate pleasure of being at the drive-thru window of Chick-Fil-A. You can see the woman is exceedingly pleasant (I have never been greeted so warmly) … [Read more...]
It never ceases to amaze me the frequency with which those who claim to be victims of religious oppression react by calling the kettle black. The latest example is the Chick-Fil-A non-shocker. The president of restaurant was asked his stance on the marriage issue. Of course the media and … [Read more...]
