1 - Gays need rights 'given' to them (or more likely 'protected') because YOU ALREADY HAVE THEM - giving them to someone else is NOT PERSECUTION toward you. Jesus.
2 - Nothing that was given to you by (your) God should EVER BE LEGALLY PROTECTED. Our nation was founded on this principal at its heart. If you put on the tinfoil hat and say "it's not in the constitution!" I will mop the floor with you. [note that this is slight hyperbole, as you can claim you were 'given' your life, and obviously murder should still be illegal]
3 - Christians have never been persecuted, and they do NOT have the 'right' to enact prayers in school except for on their own time w/out intruding on others. What you claim is akin to saying whites are being persecuted b/c they can't have their own water fountains, separate from blacks, anymore.

oh holy geez......
when i was discussing the whole gay thing, i was ATTEMPTING to explain the whole Christian viewpoint thing....but being a Christian who is against the ammendment, i may be a little off. that was my
understanding, thanks. from what i
understand, handing over that divine right (note, not civil right, according to conservs/Christians/what have you) to someone who lives in an "abomination" is a hard thing for those who are for the ammendment to accept. i am NOT FOR THE AMMENDMENT. I VOTED NO. JESUS, yourself. may i quote
myself here for a moment?

i believe that my thoughts and beliefs are protected b/c this is the USA. everyone else's free speech, etc. is protected....i think i'm included in that. just another off handed, random remark for ya, just to throw that in there. my post which started this whole discovery of my idioticness was only to shine some light on another viewpoint, but not necessarily totally my own. if that makes any sense.......
and yes, believe it or not, mr. niceguy, Christians have been treated like crap a lot in this country. i don't think anyone would have a isht if someone put up a chinese proverb in court houses, but b/c someone put up the 10 commandments, well HEAVEN FORBID. if it has something to do with the Bible, ppl can't handle that (even if it's a GOOD message....don't kill thy neighbor is pretty cool to me) b/c it's the word of God. dum dum dum! i can't hear it, my ears will explode. we've been told we're stupid, that we're dumb and not-informed b/c we're too wound up Jesus' butt. fabulous. i am informed, but my opinion is just different. oh wait, i forgot my opinion can't be different and even close to conservative....b/c then i'm wrong. AND stupid. stupid me! the Christian conservatives i know are also informed....my parents are HARD CORE right wingers, and yes, that's a lil un-nerving for me, too....but they are making decisions based on their beliefs and convictions and voting for the person who best represents that. that's how people vote. this go 'round, seems like conservative thinking was the majority.
as far as prayer, i am with ya on that no organized prayer thing b/c yes there are a million religions in this country.....i'm with you ppl on more than i was able to properly express last night/this morning evidently b/c i was only attempting to show another side....the Christian side, which i do believe gets the shaft. i am around Christians, i am a Christian, i am in the South, so that's what i am familiar with. my fault for the confusion and the abundance of frustration. just from where i stand, my parents have felt for a long time that no one was properly representing them, now they do. that's what i see now.....i'm sorry liberals are suffering how my parents did some years ago. i can understand how you feel....and that's sincere.
as far as ppl being concerned over clinton, uh YES there were many ppl
i knew who were. i live in the SOUTH, what was it, jackmove?? and the South, as scary as it is for you open minded souls, is the Bible belt.....clinton, while claiming to be Southern Baptist, was anything but. i'm glad that everyone else has had someone that they felt was on their side.......now i think it's good that someone else does.
jackmove.....lol.....idiot. sorry, KSigRC, didn't realize i offended you so much.
can't win 'em all, i guess.
**this whole post wasn't directed totally at KSigRC....i tried to answer some questions or whatever concerning my post. if i did great, if not, oh well. i'm excited about my wknd....**
