    True.

    I just know how it feels to be in a room full of conservatives, putting down most things I believe in, and making derogatory remarks concerning all liberals (among all other groups that aren't in agreement with them). I don't think Lynn's point should be dismissed. I've been one of the worst at not just disagreeing with the ideas of a group, but going the extra step in making derogatory remarks about them.


    I'm still going to criticize the christian beliefs that cause harm, but I don't think I'm accomplishing anything by pissing people off with derogatory remarks.

    My understanding is that the judge told her that if she interfered directly or indirectly with her office issuing licenses....she would be back in court again (paraphrasing obviously). I don't think the linked story clarified that.

    I hope most people realize that we're talking about the most extreme right wingers in this case... which can approach 90% in some small communities.

    One of my best friends is a liberal christian.

    but if someone does force their beliefs then you should just tuck your tail in between your legs and go drive to the next county, right?
    Isn't that what you said those guys should have done?

    Let's say I like red cars and you like blue cars. Nothing wrong with that. If you don't like red cars, you don't have to own one, ride in one or even park next to one. You can raise your kids to hate red cars if you want to. That's your right. But red cars are still just as legal as blue cars so if you happen to work in the office that issues license plates, you don't get to say I can't get plates for my car because it isn't the same color you like and I don't have to go out of my way....even a tiny bit....to accommodate your belief.

    Does that sound silly? Of course. But that is exactly the same as what this whole thing with Kim Davis is about. Change a few words and it's the same shit. It would have been even sillier if you said "I can't issue issue plates for red cars because my belief in an invisible man who forbids it!" ;)

    I hope so too. I just don't want to go too far, myself, and cause bad feelings for innocents.

    Now if someone asks for it, that's a different story.

    again...not even close

    Making up silly analogies that would never happen.

    People are giving this hateful woman way too much power over their psyche and their lives. This couple can get married and could have gone elsewhere and drove by the courthouse and shot her the bird.

    I told myself I was going to quit responding to your inane posts because despite being a member of this forum board you act like a troll.

    However, to answer this facetious question you posed:

    if you remain a Southern Baptist with all the shit that they are publicly famous for then I don't need to know you personally - you are somehow fucked up in the head.

    If you are a member of the Westboro Baptist Church - I don't need to know how you are related to the other Phelps, you are definitely fucked up in the head.

    IDK what fundamentalist Evangelical Group of christian sect that Kim Davis belongs to much less do I know all the members but by her irrational, illegal actions she is fucked up in the head and her supporters I've seen in the streets (Including Mike Huckabee) are fucked up in the head.

    so Rosa should have given up her seat or got off the bus and waited for another one to avoid "negative energy" if we adhere to your logic.

    sorry, but you have painted yourself into a corner here, no real way out of it now except to admit you are wrong.

    I am no troll, just do not buy into this shit.

    I am not now nor have I ever been a Southern Baptist or a member of the WBC.

    Shale...hate to break it to you...but those people think gays are fucked up in the head.

    And you are going to call me names and my posts inane because I think this woman is a huge non issue.

    boy oh boy....

    One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Nothing.

    you fail to recognize that this is about discrimination, NOT gay marriage, so in that light it is very on point.
