Oh, for heavens’ sake! Attack our allies. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Nothing in Abbot’s statement was “anti-Christ.” It was pro-1A. Freedom of religion /1A encompasses ALL religion, all expressions of speech and conscience, not just Christians’. In other words, regardless if you’re Jewish, Hindu, etc, or don’t subscribe to any faith at all, you shouldn’t be forced to bake the damn cake if you just don’t wanna. There are lots of folks who aren’t Christians (or aren’t Christian enough, according to you) who nevertheless feel, on a gut level, that sodomy is “icky” and they resent being forced to condone it. Also, many non-Christians worry, as we do, about the pedophile aspect. We should be uniting with them, building coalitions, not attacking them.
When Abbott comes out and states that the SCOTUS ruling is illegitimate, and order County clerks to stand down, then I will get behind him 100%, up to and including coming to Texas to stand with the Governor come what may. Until then, he caved.
“We should be uniting with them, building coalitions, not attacking them”
Well said. There are even those of the homosexual persuasion who feel that homosexual marriage is wrong and also that it should not be mandated by a high federal court. We are united with them, too, even if only in this one narrow issue. It is time to consider the future of our country, even the continued existence of our civilization and find pertinent common ground to unite.
