I can't claim to be overly educated on that subject. While I have taken the time to discuss homosexuality with several gay people, I have not personally known any transgenders, and have not had conversations with them.

You'll have to forgive me for not reading the 119 page document you provided. Of the Ten Commandments, only 3 of them have laws that line up with them, and those are laws that are enforced universally around the world, whether the country is a Christian country or not.

I base my opinion on personal conversations with a couple of dozen homosexuals. It's always interesting to see what conservatives base their opinions on for this issue.

While I support the freedom of speech aspect of stepping on the flag (not that I agree with it), as a teacher I also feel strongly that it is inappropriate and irresponsible to bring personal politics and beliefs into your classroom. That being said, after reading the article, I don't believe that was his intention. He was trying to teach about free speech, not showing an actual hatred towards the flag. I respect the school board's decision, but would not have been outraged as some would had they voted to reinstate him.

No. People are born gay. They are not born polygamists.

Our laws are not based on the 10 commandments, although a couple of them line up.

Nash, for a man of your intelligence, you sure seem to take "news" from any source at face value as long as you feel it validates your stance. This is not a real article. I'm not talking about one of the biased opinion "news" pieces that are posted on here, but a complete hoax. But even if it were real, are you claiming that you told me that if gays were allowed to marry it would cause a redneck with mental issues to claim to have been raped by a farm animal? I do not recall this prediction.

A reasonable post. I would counter this by saying that I have a problem with any law that keeps someone from living their life how they want that is based on lawmakers' religious beliefs.

Heterosexual sinful sex is the same. Movies, television, commercials, etc. people making out in the streets, sex in public places. It's not like this is exclusive to, or even close to more common, in homosexuality.

Nah. Every judge has a conflict of interest on every ruling. It's called their personal beliefs. And they (both conservative and liberal) use their personal beliefs and affiliations to dictate their rulings nearly every time.

Wait, are you saying Palin isn't. She judges one group publicly for their sexual sin, but doesn't have anything to say about her daughter committing a different sexual sin (again). You're right, she's not a hypocrite, she's a beacon of light for Christ.

Wait, are you saying Palin isn't a hypocrite?

Why not? She doesn't have any problem berating others publicly that don't conform to her belief systems.

Of course not. Now if you were a political mouthpiece who ignored what was going on in your own family while pretty much exclusively railing against another sexual sin, then it would.

She's as hypocritical as they come, and her mom is one of the conservative Christians favorite talking heads. Whether she would be praised by the left for doing one of the other things you mentioned is pretty irrelevant, just as anything coming out of her or her mom's mouth should be.

Not sure Nash. I'm okay with it being one or the other, but it can't be both. It sure seems like the category it fits in depends on which group is perpetrating the action.

Per Bristol... "I don't want any lectures, and I don't need any sympathy." i guess the Palin family is only allowed to dish out the lectures on holiness and purity, but not allowed to be subjected to them.

A perfect example of Christian hypocrisy: Sarah Palin continues to slam gay marriage based on religious views, which is not surprising. What is surprising is that she has remained quiet on children born out of wedlock. Why is this important? Because her daughter just announced two days ago that she is pregnant with her SECOND such child.

I'm not talking about scripture supporting conservatives. I'm talking about the large number of supposed Christians I've seen who are advocating hate and descrimination. I've seen plenty of Christians who are against gay marriage who are not doing this, but plenty who are.

It's legal in most of the civilized world. You know who is as fanatically against it as conservative Christians, though? ISIS. Kinda ironic if you ask me.

I agree. He can't be pleased with all of the hate and discrimination he's seen.

Unfortunately for those of your belief system, yours opinion has become an antiquated viewpoint.

I'd be much more concerned about living in a country where religion is able to dictate the rights of those who do not adhere to their beliefs.

Should a state be able to rule interracial marriage illegal again? Was it okay that the Supreme Court made that legal in 1967, or were they overreaching then, too?
