    Using that logic the Baker is not wrong.....those who would force him to do something against his will are.

    Though in Buhdism there is no "God"...just truth.

    So again....I go back to positions on Polygamy, abortion, Sharia Law, etc. Your positions on "God" ... though you say you need no label ... are very close to Buhdism. Not a bad thing ... just similar beliefs.

    So is your position that the Bible is NOT God's word?

    Hate the sin...not the sinner. Tolerance and acceptance does not mean that man should turn from the other teachings from the Bible on sin, does it? I would encourage anyone who thinks otherwise to read Romans, Corinthians, etc. If these are not the words of God, you might as well argue that the whole Bible is disposable...and then what or who is this "God" anyway. My faith keeps me from such questions just as Iit keeps me from hating the sinner. I am curious dustin...what is your position on polygamy? Sharia Law? Abortion? These are all things that I have been told are "none of my business" as well. Not trying to make the debate contentious, but several of your statements would seem to label me as a hater and a bigot...and ignorant. I take a bit of offense to that.

    Right is right. Wrong is wrong. And indecent exposure in a public place is a crime. Why is it tolerated in a gay parade in San Fran ... but if I walk out the door in a banana hammock I'd get arrested? Believe me...that happens there. I have a co-worker who has gone and seen It personally. Being a lefty, he actually finds it "funny". Nothing funny to me about that. Not sure I agree that is NOT " in your face" by the left.

    Good to be back. Been around but no energy to think much...at least not enough to post. Let me know what you find out Snap. A buddy actually drove out to the rumored location in Buckeye, and it is definitely there per his report. Scary thought. Scary times.

    By definition, bigotry is intolerance of an opinion or view that is different from one's own. So is the person who forces the photographer or cake maker to perform against their will also a bigot? I'd argue some of the biggest bigots I've known are Progressives...who claim to be the farthest thing from it. I hold a definition of Marriage as between one man and one woman. That comes from my Christian beliefs. As a Christian, I do not feel that treating any person badly or unfairly is okay...though I am far from perfect in that regard or any other. I don't feel gay people should have any different rights as conferred by government, nor do I think they should be treated differently as human beings. All I ask is that they figure out a different name for it, because Marriage has religious meaning. Am I the bigot...or is the person who wants to ram their opinion down my throat the bigot? I am not saying their rights should be different...but I am being told my definition should be. Human rights should never be infringed. On that I do not disagree. I begrudge no one human decency or kindness. I also don't presume that I should be able to dictate what they should or should not believe....this Government does.

    Oh ... you certainly aren't wrong about that Snapshot ... they'd never make a member of Islam go against their religion. And there is definitely something wrong with cramming a belief down someone's throat ... and in the face of their religious belief. I get it. I do. My original post only meant that SOME protection from refusal of service is necessary because some A Hole would refuse service on the color of someone's skin or some such thing like in the past. And that is NOT okay. A real black eye on American History.

    Which is a travesty. They ought to be able to usher them out the door. But a guy who prints banners should not be able to tell a guy to get out based on the color of his skin ... until his actions make him look like the KKK guy or the Black Panthers Guy or something like that. Then kick his butt out. heck ... if it were my shop, that is exactly what I'd do ... myself ... personally ... by hand and with pride.

    A person is a person ... that is a fact. Their actions are what determines their character. That said ... a person's position on Gay Marriage is generally colored by their religious belief. I certainly don't think the guy baking cakes should be forced to bake a cake for a wedding if he doesn't agree with it on a religious basis ... because that is an infringement of his rights to Freedom of Religion. There are plenty of cake shops whose owners likely don't share that belief, so there should be no shortage of places to get a cake. And, by the way, if I went to a cake shop, asked to have a cake made and was refused, I'd never try to force it. The guy might stir the batter with a toilet plunger. That is a totally different topic ... demanding something to make a point. Don't really get that. Personally, I am tired of the race baiting BS that has exploded to new levels in the current political climate. Bigotry does not end until we stop identifying people based on the color of their skin (though I guess I did it in my earlier post to make a point). "That guy" over there is just a guy ... not "that white guy" or whatever. And sadly, that may never happen. It certainly won't happen under a President who wrote ”I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.” It is a sad state of affairs. "Post Racial President" my ear ... he might be the biggest racist of all. I'll get off my box now.

    heck ... if he wants to look for a terrorist, he should look in the mirror. If he was not "inciting violence" with the money he poured into the "Lynch Trayvon's Killer" campaign, I'll be a Monkey's Uncle. This country is really going to heck under this Administration, and Congress ... including these WEAK REPUBLICAN'S like McCain and Flake ... is letting it happen. They want to be part of the Ruling Elite when the King is Crowned. I ask again, as I did in another post ... has anyone heard anything about the FEMA Concentration Camps and their purchases of record numbers of Body Bags (along with DHS's record Ammunition purchases)????? Call those Conspiracy Guys crazy, but something doesn't smell right.

    I guess I agree with some of that. Trouble is that what if a guy decides not to serve a certain race of people? That type of discrimination is against the law, and with good reason. We can't go back to the Jim Crow days and segregation. That would not be right. There are some things in American history that should not be repeated. Now I certainly don't have an issue with someone being opposed to "Gay Marriage". Personally, I don't support the notion of calling it a "Marriage", as I believe that should have a specific definition as between a man and a woman, and in the eyes of God (to heck with the State). I don't have a problem if they want to "Bond", have "Union" or whatever ... and have State and Federal Rights similar to a Marriage ... but leave the M word out of it. And if you own a business that provides a service, and you have a religious and/or moral objection, you should be able to have that and not have it shoved down your throat. That is my opinion ... and people can either agree or disagree with that. Freedom of Choice (and I am not talking about Abortion here ... don't get me started). However ... Race is a different topic. I don't think I should be able to tell an African American (Black), Asian, Hispanic, American Indian (which I am part) or any other non-Caucasian that they "can't sit here ... can't buy my house ... can't get food here ... etc." That is just plain wrong. Some would say that applies a double standard ... and that is their choice to see it that way. I see Marriage as a choice that people make ... bonding in a special way in the sight of the Lord. Race is a matter of birth. Yes ... homosexuality in many/most cases is a matter of birth as well ... but the issue of Marriage is a matter of choice, and I see it as a Religious Sacrament ... again ... to heck with the State and their part. My two Abe's worth ... whoever wants to, go ahead and have at me ... I have thick skin and a hard head.
  18. Uh ... well depending on when you got out (and thank you for your service), things have definitely changed in this country for the worse. They likely brought him home as a HERO. Total Joke.
  19. And the Media just rolls with it ... talk about a bunch of anti-American trash. They are worse than the d _ mned politicians.

    WTB: Youth rifle for deer

    7-08 is the same case as a .243 with a bigger bullet. More versatile in my opinion. Same with the .260. And you can't go wrong with the parent case ... a good ole .308.
