Well I sure as hell will boycott them.

I don’t understand that reasoning at all.

So if they want to make a card for pedophiles[not that they would right now] or polygamists, thats ok? What the heck...all kinds of room under the big tent. I don’t have to buy THAT one.

Doesn’t work for me but whatever floats your boat.

I think they’d make a card for fascist dictators if they thought there was a market for it (Congratulations! You’ve just committed your FIRST genocidal act!)

Banning these cards is not going to stop homosexuals “marrying”. Being convinced of the sinfulness of their lifestyle and allowing their lives to be changed right around is going to stop that. So, if you think homosexual “marriage” is wrong, what do you think you should be doing?

Let me put it like this: If someone insists on saying and doing something that you are sure is wrong, you basically have two choices. You can either out-argue them, or you can shut them up. I know its very tempting to simply “shut them up”. You are very convinced they are in the wrong and are doing harm not only to themselves but to all that you hold dear (as indeed they are). Besides “shutting them up” is SO very much easier to do. And of course, the opposition tries to shut US up all the time.

Lovingly bringing those, who after all are made in Gods image, to a personal knowledge of their sinfulness and their need to rethink their entire lives, in the teeth of what can be vicious opposition, is a hard, thankless task that can take years. Decades even. But IMHO that is what God calls us to do.

You put out fires with water, not fires of your own.

But pedophilia and polygamy aren’t legal in parts of this country.

I also cringe anytime our side compares gay marriage beastiality, pedophilia, etc...its not exactly a great comparison and it only marginalizes our cause.

There is a huge difference between those issues, one is legal (homosexual relationship between two adults), and the other is horribly abusive and will never be legal.
