But you are undoubtedly prone to vote for someone who agrees with you regarding my religious rights, so you'd be taking money out of my wallet anyway.

Sure thing Shylock, your pound of flesh is in the mail /sarc

Still, when you refer to religion being "stuffed down" your throat, that's a criticism of OTHER PEOPLE'S religion ~and those who start sticking their nose into other's religious beliefs almost invariably end up voting for people who will suppress religion, or start dictating beliefs.

Please, I in no way want to supress somebody's religion, I just object when it affects me. If my baggage handler at Safeway refused to handle my bacon because of their Islamic beliefs, I'll object. If my Hindu neighbor made constant efforts to curtail my beef intake, I'd object. On that same token, if somebody starts ranting at me because I my wife and I weren't married yet when we started living together, or is telling me I'm going to hell because I don't go to church, I object to that.

For me my Christian beliefs guides me towards the safety of the unborn and the mother,same-sex marriage will have an effect on the church beliefs not marrying homosexuals. Right now I have a close relative who started living together with a girl and didn’t want me to know because he knew how I felt about that. But he also wanted me to know because there has always been trust between us. So one day he called me and told me and of course my feelings have not changed for him but he knows I don’t approve because of my Christian based faith. The not so funny thing is once he started living with this girl she changed and was way more like a wife and it has almost destroyed their relationship. She has since moved out and they have started to begin to date. She was nesting and wanting to buy a family car and he freaked.I also believe this country’s immigration policy if not changed could destroy this country.Like the guy who pretended to bring a suitcase nuke across the border and has absolutely no problem doing so.I also hope and pray that his country could get back to a more decent approach in entertainment. Hollyweird will continue to put garbage out as long as they make money at it. More and more nudity and just nastiness are in the movies and TV today. I mean what would hollyweird do if they couldn’t use sex to be creative. Sometimes I watch some of the old stuff and forget how creative movies used to be. And using Gods name in vain seems to be the norm in movies,TV,and books. I mean come on how is it that people who want everyone to be so tolerant don’t care at all in disrespecting Gods holy name knowing it offends Christians. But of course you don’t hear Christians speaking out about it. Sad. But let the name of Allah be used in profanity and the sh-t would hit the fan. But nobody said hollyweird has courage just disdain for Christians.The other night my husband and I watched Hot Shots and they must have used Gods holy name in vain 15 times. And there just wasn’t a need to do so. Even though we all have different faiths and beliefs we should at least be respectful to one another even though we disagree.I may not believe in Islam but I am not going to be saying All ah be dam n.
