The good news is that some faiths are never going to accept it, no matter what the punishment, and that’s all that really matters.”
Agreed. I would also add that this fact is the reason why religion will go on, because there is no other gauge besides these “punishments” that really shows how sincerely one believes in what they do.
I was addressing secession, loud and clear, which is pretty much synonymous with treason.
At least you acknowledged that it seems that way, well, when addressing how some bad decision such as secession will not solve a problem, I would say certain replies are justified. Homosexuals may seem like invaders based on what I said, but facts are facts, even if the treasonous act of secession occurred, there would still be homosexuals in seceded areas which would still campaign for their rights, therefore secession would do nothing to address the issue, but would rather be a short-term attempt at delaying it. Not only that, but it would be pointless because the government and armed forces would never simply let a state, or sections of a state simply walk away. I do not regret the harsh tone when addressing the attrocity of treason. While I do believe in rights and limited government, I would never condone treason, or the weakening of our nation by secession, or splitting up of the states, it is wrong, regardless of the political persuasion of who suggests it. While I do understand the disappointment over the immaturity of many of our politicians, and am personally disappointed myself, I would never suggest or consider treason (a.k.a. secession or splintering of the states) to be a good idea. Is that clear?
Finally, I do understand, and do care about those who practice homosexuality, I fear for many of them, and the serious harm they can do to themselves for their actions, but please, do not make any mistake about the fact that I do not advocate or condone treason in the slightest.
