I could be wrong here but one of the ideas America was founded off was the idea of religious freedom ( 1st amendment ) not Christianity. "Under God" wasn't added to things until the 1950's, probably because Christianity is the major religion in America.
And not to talk **** buddy but that 1st quote and 2nd quote.... doesn't sound like it came from the same person. Faggots, liberals, and blacks in one then talk about hour our government turned its back on " Christian beliefs " in the next?
If we want to talk about the "Moral Decay of America" why done we start with all the 35% threads on here or the countless racist remarks that are made on this forum daily... but 90% of you wont agree with that statement so **** me I guess...
If you want to bring the religious debate in this... Jesus taught love and compassion. Let he who has not sinned throw the 1st stone, or Judge not lest ye be judged ( or some **** like that ). Im not saying Jesus would agree with it but he wouldn't try to fix it with all this hate I read. All this religious **** is doing is trying to oppress a group of people who just want equal rights like the rest of us have but its OK if we do it in the name of religion but if a government tried to do it all hell would break loose. Their homosexual marriage doesn't affect your heterosexual marriage in any way... your still married and all is well with your relationship in the eyes of God.
So, as an American I don't have the right to get pissed off and make a statement? Do I not have the right, or freedom, of speech like homosexuals, liberals, blacks, atheist, muslims, and others? Why is it that they can voice their opinions and beliefs, but as soon as a white guy does it, it's considered hate. Well sir, I'm not exactly white. Maybe I should be politically correct and use the term caucasion so that nothing gets lost in translation. My family is mixed. My father Cajun, mother Irish, grandmother Scandinavian, and so on. My wife is hispanic......do I need to continue with the family lineage? Needless to say, my family is colorful. Also, are certain races entitled to use words and names while others are not?
Are you insinuating that homosexuals do not have equal rights? If so, you're wrong. For instance, the whole bakery ordeal. Several bakers lost their businesses due to the fact that they would not comprises their moral conviction. Basically, the beliefs of the homosexuals were forced onto the bakery owners. How would you feel if you lost your livelihood simply because you did not agree with another person at your place of employment?
I'm not angry with you because of your rebuttle to my previous posts. You have the right to say, write, post, or believe whatever you like. The real culprit here....you're profile says your 26 years old, I'm in my 40's. I would be willing to bet that I was taught a different variation of history, or at least a different perspective, than you were. Just like my children were taught a different version than I was....I've read their high school history books. Therefore, we'll both have a different opinions on the 1st Amendment based on who's point of view we were taught by....teachers not only teach their area of expertise, they pass on their personal beliefs and inlfuences of the subject.
One more question.
Besides Jus Soli and Jus Sanguis, what have you done to earn your freedom of speech, you're entitlement to voice your personal beliefs and opinions? I'm asking, because we are loosing our rights. Broken window affect.....think about it.
