ianmdrennan 2 #302 December 28, 2013 normiss You have less than zero idea on Ian's life or anyone here with an opposing view for that matter. Your argument is comical and insulting at the same time. Mark, thanks I appreciate it. I'm all good with it though On a totally unrelated note, congrats to Andrea and yourself. Hope we get to share a beer in ZHills sooner rather than later!

jakee 1,379 #305 December 28, 2013 QuoteMost of these groups do not lobby now do they Hey, goldfish boy, do I need to remind you again of what you said? You said that Gay activist groups are the least tolerant people on the planet. Are you still trying to avoid admitting how utterly fucking retarded that statement was? Are you still trying to avoid admitting how much worse some of the people on the other side of the equation are? I don't expect you to be able to keep up, but when you keep falling this far behind it gets really difficult to have any form of conversation.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

jakee 1,379 #306 December 28, 2013 rushmc *** Quote Therein lies the main difference. Unalienable rights are endowed by their Creator. Homosexuality is a perverted temptation provided by Satan. God created Adam and Eve and intended for the two to become one. Adam and Steve cannot accomplish that union. Satan wants you to believe that it is just as good. Not scary, it is repulsive. Ron, you can wrap your bigotry in any religious dogma you want. It doesn't make you any less of a bigot though. And, if you're seriously going to argue that "God" doesn't believe these people should be treated as anything less than human....then, my friend, the word of God is truly lost on you. Ian Like the bigots who do not like Ron's or Phils thoughts or positions? No, you're not making any sense. That comparison doesn't apply at allDo you want to have an ideagasm?

skypuppy 1 #308 December 29, 2013 ianmdrennan It's ok - let all that anger out buddy. You'll feel better. Hopefully you'll learn a little more love and tolerance too Quote Well I feel the same about you. But I will waste my time for the others here who really care to think and look at themselves Ian frankly, the odor of supriority exuded by moderators like you and quade is nauseating. You're entitled to your opinion just as rush is, but for a moderator to attack the poster instead of the post is - well, like I said, hypocritical and nauseating. In his original statement Phil said nothing to dehumanize a group of people or to judge them, simply told of what his religion said - he didn't say they were criminals as jakee maintains. This is born out by the fact that the statement A&E released basically absolves him of any guilt. And crackerbarrel actually apologized for their actions in removing his merchandise. Because he didn't do anything wrong - he just answered a question.If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

Considering how you throw the 'liberals are bad' battle cry at every opportunity AND you constantly seek to control others through your religious beliefs? Its pretty amusing. I also find it funny how happy you are to be in a box. I cannot fathom how anyone can embrace a Liberal or Conservative label on their world view since I'd venture most people are far more complicated that and cross over both ends of the spectrum on various issues. you just make yourself look silly when you say stuff like the above. ianPerformance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a Christian I know that some will be saved and some will be lost for all eternity. My job is to see that you make an informed decision. When you stand before Jesus Christ the defense of ignorance will have no basis. I think on two tracks, one is spiritual and the other is social political. Progressive liberals represent the antithesis of conservative. There has to be two sides to create the energy for achievement. I just believe you side has less overall long term benefit. I agree there is a little liberal in conservative and a little conservative in liberal. A little yin in the yang and vice versa. The box you make reference to is your mental construct not my reality. You and Andy9o8 seem to think that labeling me as silly has some negative affect. In fact, it proves to me that my pilgrim's journey has the validity I seek for eternal victory.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

quade 4 #315 December 29, 2013 skypuppyIn his original statement Phil said nothing to dehumanize a group of people or to judge them, simply told of what his religion said... I'm sorry you feel that way. I really am. In my opinion, a person doesn't get a free pass at being a bigot simply because he paraphrased words out of an ancient book of folklore. If we let that happen, we have to excuse the truly horrible behavior of quite a few people, like, for instance, the Taliban and the KKK. To me, it's one of the worst kinds of excuses; using "religion" to promote an agenda of hate.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To me, it's one of the worst kinds of excuses; using "religion" to promote an agenda of hate. If this is what had happened I might agree with you. What is the sorriest excuse for being a bigot are people using political correctness (as defined by the left) to try and silence opinions with which they, and you, do not agree with. And trying so say a the NRA lobby group is more vile than the gay and lesbian group? Well, that is just desperation on parade So he can start a reply to belittle me all he wants. I don't care.

So it sounds like the 1st amendment is working fine at making sure the government is not passing laws abridging some backwater redneck's freedom of speech. yes he has the right to alienate as many people as he likes and prove to everyone he is a bigoted asshat seeing that the backlash got him re-instated, you may want to re-evaluate which side has the bigots Really"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
