What Do You Think Of The Religious Freedom Restoration Act Bill?

I believe that Tikoo is referring to the bakeries who have refused their services for Gay weddings.

 

I would not play music for a gay wedding . However , I would happily play again and again for a wedding in
the forest twixt an ancient old hippie man and his 22 year young tripping hippy bride . I must be inspired .
Just so , and as a drum-maker , I may very well decine to make a drum for someone who will just hang it on
a wall . Sue me , sue you , Suzie ! An artist has the right to be spiritual .

By the way , I do not encourage homosexuality as a solution to over-population . And when I note the crusty
gay guys at the bar are recruiting a pretty college boy - I'll cuss 'em . Damn - got 86'd from that place .

 

You're ignorant.

Plain and simple.

 

And the outcome? Why do you find presenting current events a waste of time but not past history?

And what was the outcome in the case of the police and the photographer?

 

The bill in Georgia appears to have been pushed further back on the legislative schedule, because of heavy national backlash against Indiana for its similar new law. Indiana is frantically working on an amendment that will water down the impact of the original bill, before more serious economic damage is done. Also, the NC legislature has sidetracked a similar bill after the governor said he would veto it if it passes.

It seems that the will of the American people is being heard, and state legislators are paying attention.

 

You are flaming.

Plain and simple.

Don't do that.

All of the commonly quoted anti-homosexual verses are also from the Old Testament, as are all the lines used to "prove" that black people are inferior and / or under divine punishment.

 

Hopefully being on the wrong side of history screws the gop hard in upcoming elections

 

Just to clarify, I didn't write that thing I quoted. The link to the page I got it from is at the bottom of that post. Just not wanting to get people thinking I wrote that and starting any issues with the original writer of the piece.

If you're going to use religion to discriminate against people, you should have to be able to prove to a judge that your religious views are at least cohesive. If you head into court and your defense is that the Bible says something, you should then be held accountable for following everything else the Bible says. You can't just be spiteful and say it's religious.

 

I only object to religion when it interferes with progress .....and tells people how to live their lives.......obstacle for stem cell research.....obstacle for this that and the other thing.....it is fine if people wnat to be religious and follow their own religions quietly...but when it interferes and tries to be the voice for everyone, it is dangerous and insidious ....that was only my ever objection....plus that it is tax free.....what else does it want from everyone?

 

Here's a new article interviewing H.P. Dusty Dionne.

The backlash continues. A very similar bill in Arkansas is going to be vetoed if it is passed, according to the governor. He caved in to pressure from large businesses today, especially Wal-Mart, which saw the bill as a potential source of all kinds of problems. Its corporate headquarters is located in Arkansas. The governor initially said he would sign it.

 

Does anybody feel that the Republicans know they are going off the deep end, yet they don't care. I wonder when the voters are going to wake up... or does Faux News have to go off the air first?



I think this country is about to have a meltdown, seriously!

 

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

- John Lennon

 

Imagine that, but when awake it is best to deal with the realities of life and living among billions of others who also imagine things.

Lennon was probably thinking more realistically when he wrote the lyrics to "Give Peace a Chance" and "Taxman".

 

Yeah, some of us (including me) have to work every day with people who love to imagine a world with no liberals in it.
