kallend 2,026 #51 June 29, 2013 RonD1120*********eat one bigots Not only DOMA, but Sen. Wendy Davis in Texas filibustered the anti-choice bill to defeat. Great day for freedom! +1 I wonder if any of the prominent fundie nutters on here have retreated to their bunkers yet. I haven't, well, to some extent I have. My wife and I moved to a Christian enclave in the mountains. Over a year ago I stated that the cultural war is being won by the Satanic enemy. Homosexuality is still an abomination and a sin. So it goes. God's Word does not change because of majority rule. All these events both in America and the Mideast are prophecy coming true. Eat, drink and be merry for a hard rain is gonna fall. You live your life your way, and don't try to force others conform to your myths. Then we'll all be happy. The problem is when folks like you attempt to code your morality into law for others who don't agree with you.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

It wouldn't require faith to believe it, and you wouldn't need to go to meetings every week to try to stay convinced of it. There are a lot of people in this world who need healing from your "spiritual truth".

You are even free to try to convince me to adopt your beliefs. However, thanks to the First Amendment, you are not free to use the power of the government to force your religious beliefs on me, or to force me to live in accordance with your beliefs and not my own. Though you do not see it, efforts to use the law to enforce evangelical Christian morality makes proponents of such laws no different than advocates of Sharia law; both are enemies of American principles of religious freedom.

We are pulling out into our little corners and settlements. You can have the rest of the world and all it has to offer. America is going to be divided up much like Europe with all its associated decadence and debauchery.
