Of course not, because they need to be extra sure that you don’t have the slightest trace of heresy in you. Any claim that traditional belief has a closet is an understatement. They will figure it out, or even assume it, if there is something you show even slight discomfort or say no to.

Well, this is the third ping ... but even so, sometimes Swordmaker doesn’t show up until very late at night ... :-) ...

I’ve never had any attacks like I had with the Dell and other MS products.
Never.

The funny thing was that Eichs was actually “in the closet” about his opposition to the agenda, and never had any serious conduct issues in his workplace with harassing/beating up on homosexuals. But it doesn’t matter, because if you don’t agree, there is no closet for you.

The gay fanatics of Silicon Valley must have been tipped off because they combed through the contributors list to a pro-family referendum to find Brendan Eichs $1000 contribution. Then the gays (and their fellow travelers) hounded him out of his job as chief technology officer of Firefox

LGBT advocacy groups are pointing to a 2012 Los Angeles Times report on Eich's personal donations, which included a 2008 contribution of $1,000 to the "Yes on 8" campaign in support of California's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, Prop 8.

Although, it did say they may look else where when the contract expires in 2020. By then, the hysteria will be forgotten.

There's no hysteria. It's just a hand full of queers making a lot of noise. Ignore them. People are starting to learn how to tell them no, because this whole "tolerance" thing is nothing but a liberal lie.

If "traditional belief" is supposed to be a euphemism for Christian, you're an idiot. The Bible is no "closet." It is THE WORD.

Steve Jobs is gone while Mr Timmy has tilted Apple into the pro-gay camp. So my cutting edge boycott of Apple will continue. When Mr Timmy and his Cupertino gay mafia make amends I might reconsider.

I’ve used Apples and MS machines for about 20 years.Only bought one each new as I remember,A Lime iMac with OS9 and a HP Pavilion with Win98.Both did all I wanted or needed until forced to set them aside for the ever escalating newer,”better” web browsers they couldn’t run.Subsequent purchases have been used machines from those afraid to have anything not the very latest.None of these have changed my political views nor appreciation for well engineered products.

The problem is the influence of the position. If I got involved in something in my free time, no one would care because I have no real influence. When the head of Apple talks, people listen - a lot. It’s no different than celebrities opening their mouth and making fools of themselves.

Indeed it isn’t, it will be figured out, and I absolutely did not mean it in the worst way. The fact is sooner or later, it will be found if you are a follower of God in the true sense, so don’t bother hiding it under a bushel.

Sorry, I don't follow. Please explain. Thanks.

Steve Jobs was pro homosexual rights. He didn’t throw some outrage like Tim, but his monetary donations and promises of no discrimination spoke well. The real story here is that Indiana is only doing what 31 states did in making a rule that someone cannot be forced to violate religious conscience. I cannot be allowed to make some Jewish or Muslim restaurant serve me pork if that is not their policy. I cannot force a Muslim or a Mormon to make me booze if that is not his/her policy, I can look for someone else to do it.

People will figure out if you are Christian or whatever religion. What if I asked you do something and you said no. For instance, a person saying no to pork is likely a Jew, Muslim, or Vegetarian. If you say no to something, you are likely a traditional Christian.

When is the governor of Indiana going to come out and address the critics of this bill?

There is a messaging war going on here and the conservatives have not even joined the battle. The left is winning this campaign in the public eye. When the conservatives decided to pass a bill like this, they should have been prepared to sell it to the public.

They were totally unprepared.

Bingo!

That's what I was looking for! You're insane.

Cook just recently gave millions to the Human Rights Campaign. HRC is a huge homosexual agenda group. One of the founders of that group is Obama’s pal Terry Bean. Bean is currently being charged for sodomy with an underage boy.

HRC is a group with a lot of money and they don’t back down. They want to force their agenda down our throats. They want to force governments and even churches to comply with their agenda.

Well, I should be as “influential” as he is ... but let’s say, for a moment, that I was. I would not want anyone telling me that ... “Because you’re so successful and influential, you should not engage in these things, no matter what your personal preferences are!” I would tell whomever told me that, to get lost! ... LOL ...

Now perhaps many other people are not like me, but I can take a person who does something in one area of life and respect it, while totally dismissing that very same person in another area of life.

Like, for example (in history), I can take it that Martin Luther did an amazing thing in being someone who is recalled and remembered for the Protestant Reformation, while “at the very same time” recognizing that he was one of the worst ANTISEMITES you can imagine, and so I totally dismiss his “worth” and value in that area as very DESPICABLE. In a historical way, he helped Hitler and one may say he “conditioned” the population of Germany to fall for what they did!

And I find most people are that way anyway ... I’ll like most people in one way and find them despicable in another way. I call that the way of human beings.
