In our current society, anyone that is against homosexual marriage or disapproves of homosexuality will be put in the same category as a racists and Nazis. You will be called a bigot and a hater. If there was ever a time for Christians to unite, now is the time. Times are only going to get worse.

Who cares what they call us. A spade is still a spade. Can’t change it.

I take the position of letting God judge them, just as He will judge this nation for for the decision and resulting actions from this decision. He will judge them.. He will judge us all.

I’m anti-social anyway so ‘shunning me’ is kinda pointless.

Same here.
PLEASE shun me.

Here too. I welcome their shunning just as I do from other special interest groups who feel my opinions are anti PC.

What exactly is the right supposed to do when there is a dictator in office?

What did our countrymen do when there was a dictator (King) in England who taxed us heavily, treated us as cattle and attempted to take away our rights to live as free men?

The year on the calendar may be different, but the behaviors of the dictators (King of England, current President) are the same and the action required to remedy the situation is the same IMO.

Maybe they’re “shunning” you because you’re holding a snake, not because of your political or moral beliefs. If you cared, you could ask ...

Uhuh...sure. When are they going to get started with that one? 10 years? 20 years? Never? I'm holding off on starting important relationships just in case I need to do some dirty work. Everybody else is going on with their lives like nothing ever happened.

Something I thought I’d share....

I like to wear a certain color. I think it looks nice on me and people have told me I look nice in it too. Unfortunately, a certain political group has claimed that color as their own.

So I usually wear a garment of this color on a certain day of the week, and that day of the week happened to be the day after the SCOTUS decision on DOMA. I wondered why strangers in my general neighborhood were smiling at me that day (I was puzzled) then later figured out why.

Today, I’m wearing a different garment, same color, just because I felt like it. Today also happens to be a big PARADE EVENT in the nearby City famous for such stuff. Today also, I’ve been getting smiles from people who wouldn’t otherwise look at me.

I feel like screaming at them, “Sometimes a color is just a color! This color has no political agenda attached to it! I refuse to let you take this color from me!”

Sheesh.

Related to the second anecdote: Apparently a bunch of people in my neighborhood are on their way to see the PARADE EVENT as if it’s the World Series or something: they’ve brought their sunscreen and hats, packed a picnic lunch, etc. Weird.

So I was turning down the street and nearly ran into a bunch of girls — they appeared to be late-teen-aged girls — dressed up in brief bikinis with glitter tops. One who was wearing a frilly yellow ballerina skirt twirled around, stepped into the street in front of me and twirled again, then joined her compatriots up on the curb. I guess they were all on their way to the PARADE EVENT also. But if these were girls, why were they dressed in such an outrageous manner?

The likelihood it never happens increases every day .... our Founding Fathers revolted over far less than we tolerate daily. Methinks this country may be lost.

In an odd way I'm kinda glad that my life got screwed up and I never ended up trying to raise a family in this country full of retards. May end up leaving soon. If I'm going to live in an impoverished nation then it may as well be some pacific asian island somewhere. At least you get nice beaches...

I'm sorry that you have to live in that neighborhood.

I wouldn't be able to stand one minute of that place without punching someone's lights out.

One big part of the problem is that we have to solve the problem of young voters. They’ll continue to get older, and as they get older, they’ll turn-out at rates consistent with those of older voters. Meanwhile - and please forgive me for being blunt here - but voters sympathetic to our cause will continue to die-off.

Until we somehow find a way to counter the relentless cultural torrent of anti-Christian programming that young folks experience on a constant basis, we’re going to be fighting an impossible battle. We’re going to see a 50-50 nation go even further against us, and the window for action will be up.

The church (not the apostate churches like the ELCA and Episcopalians, but the ones who still profess to believe in the Bible) has to get off the sidelines. In the months before the Minnesota marriage amendment was voted on last November, Minnesota for Marriage sent letters to 9,000+ evangelical pastors and priests, asking them to go on record as supporting the amendment. Only 500, most of them Catholic priests, were willing to publicly stand up for God's design for marriage.
