We're not talking about abortions here, please stick to the topic.

We are also not talking about movies, or TV, we're talking about reality, not fiction.

And you give me a break, violence in movies has been around since movies have been around. Or did you not watch cowboy moves as a child?

STD's existed long before AIDS.

What we are talking about here is not what the Bible says, but the editorial comment made with the billboard.

I am a Christian, and I find it offensive.

Call me if and when those very same verses are posted WITHOUT the editorial commentary, and let me know whether the billboard was struck down or not.

And it doesn't matter whether millions and millions know what the passages are supposed to mean, it's the one individual who may be driven to violence based on the message.

No one is taking anyone's right to quote the Bible here, that's a strawman argument from you, the issue is the human touch to the Godly message that the Court took umbrage with.

Luis Gonzalez Part 1:
Luis: Sorry kid,...I'll bitch-slap you into nothingness.
Luis: ...like your a$$hole buddy Todd...

And then Luis Gonzalez Part 2:
Luis: ...I am a Christian, and I find it offensive.
Luis: ...You have become that which you accuse Islam of being....Hateful, intolerant, and ignorant.

Luis, my dear brother, I think it is safe to say that you need to work on your delivery a little bit...just a suggestion.

Billboard? I thought the article was talking about an ad in a newspaper.

No matter which it was, such a thing does not incite violence in a heart where violence does not already exist.

If someone goes out and claims that they beat someone up because of this ad, they would have beaten someone up because their shoelace broke some other day.
