I am totally having the same experience as you. I am shocked at how many of my conservative friends and family are just fine with gay marriage. And now we know the answer to why our party is failing. Because deep down where it counts they dont have a moral compass. I have unfriended the bible bashers and some that i was most disappointed in. Then i was called sad for not wanting to have these folks on my facebook. Sorry but it is hard enough to live a christian life is this day and age. Definitly cant surround myself with evil disguised as friends and think i will thrive.
I’m sorry that you’re experiencing this, too. It’s been making my heart easy so I understand your disappointment.
And you’re right, the GOP’s great undoing is its lack of moral clarity. Very well said...thank you!
Too many, deep down, don't want to be thought ill of by their friends, their co-workers, whatever. They 'go along to get along', kinda like Repubs in Congress.
It's hard to stand against popular culture, and people don't like being constantly berated by everyone around them, so they either shut up about it, or go along with it. I've been 'unfriended' by a couple of family members, because of comments I've made regarding personhood for the unborn, but that's the way it goes. I still express my opinion, when I believe it might influence, but keep it to myself when it's clear I won't change opinions, just make folks angry to the point where they'll NEVER listen to the opposite notion. Just gotta pick your battles.
