"They want to legislate interaction between individuals by their definition of fair & anyone who fails to go along with their version is vilified."
It is interesting to note that the word "fair" does not appear in the King James version of the Bible except as it pertains to the complexion of the skin.
In place of what the world calls "fair", the Bible uses the word "just". A vast difference, that we as conservatives would suggest supports our contention of a return to that which is "just" rather than "fair".
In my view, just moral values include many categories... sex and sexual orientation, taxes, punishment, "partnership" rites, abortion, etc. The concept of being "fair" in today's world goes far beyond the individual to the corporate world and governance. Whether we agree or not we are forced to pay our "fair" share, in taxes or remuneration, so that others can have what is considered to be only "fair".
Hogwash!
"I personally don't watch Joan of Arcadia, it just seems to be making up what God is all about."
It is far less convicting on the conscience, and infinitely easier, to "make up" one's concept of God than to search the Scriptures to learn and understand His description of His own nature.
Well, hey you! It's nice to "see" you again, kiddo. Hope you have been well and that we'll see you around here often.

The left will be happy to stake a claim as being arbiters on what is just, same as they do with fair. They ate the forbidden fruit & they were not ashamed.
Red or blue... Who is trying to stop Christmas?
Who is against prayer in school?
Who is stopping the 10 Commandments everywhere?
Who is for abortion, even partial birth abortions?
Who is for sodomites?
Who won? Red or blue?
While amny Americans differ in their stance on abortion, Kerry's answer in the debates was especially messed up. He appealed to many peoples willingness to set aside personal beliefs for tolerating the views of others - but the question wasn't about outlawing abortion, but federal funding of it. In short, Kerry argued that he didn't feel it appropriate to impose his beliefs on pro-abortionists, or even simply admonish them; while it was entirely appropriate to impose a requirement on pro-life people to pay for abortions, which they abhor.
