Care to engage the arguments to support the name calling?
OK - where is it a bad thing to say: "“If it’s somebody in my life that I care for, of course I would,”"
Or: "“But again, as I said, I’m a member of the Catholic faith that teaches, for example, that divorce is wrong,” Rubio said. “But if someone gets divorced, I’m not going to stop loving them or having them a part of our lives.”
The man was obviously saying that just because you disagree with someone you care for, you don't stop loving and supporting them because of it. Perhaps some can turn that truism into a bad thing, but they have to do some "holier than thou" twisting to try to make it fly.
It seems that many, who call themselves Christians, see a few key words and then lose the ability to put things into context. Where one may see a beloved family member who comes out of the closet, they will see the naked-ass, tattooed, Mohawk-sporting activist in a homosexual parade. I detest Gayhomosexual marriage, but if my son or daughter happened to be in that status, I would not shun them but love them and try to set a Christian example and espouse morality rather than condemn them. Can't be useful to someone who is "dead" to you.
As usual, will welcome your viewpoints - you are not the target of some of my comments and have never said anything to make me consider you one of those I consider to be the "holier-than-thou" folks. I understand that a big part of your point of view is from your religious beliefs and even though I disagree with some of the canons/tenets, etc., I don't think it precludes civil discussion/debate. The "name calling" was more directed at those who had to go over the edge to make their point - one went so far as to say, "So if Rubio’s close family member decided to marry his daughter or his dog, Rubio would attend so as not to hurt his family member’s feelings. Okay." - which was a deliberate stretch to add the lie to the question.
At any rate, always good to hear what you have to say - I respect the way you have dealt with such as I seem to many who don't like my point of view.
