Yeah, your reading comprehension is definitely fail.

I'm a registered Republican. And even I'm turned off by the idiotic Christians. It's a shame when the party you're registered with goes down the drain so much that you have to vote for the other side in order to get someone that's qualified.

I'm a McCain republican, not a bible-thumping looney-toon "curious" george bush or pat robertson republican. They aren't republicans, they're morons.


From my point of view anyone that automatically sides with a party is a moron. Intelligent thought is evaluating every candidate, every motion, and every bill on it's own merits regardless of which party is backing it. 4 year olds are good at playing the two color game where they can't agree with anything the other 4 year old said because he's on the other color team.

Nope, he's completely accurate. You simply can't get beyond your own opinions to see the intent of the words.

Well the thread devolved into the typical ATOT stupidity in regards to religion.

. . . anyhow, as open minded as I think I am, I do find that the poster is totally unacceptable to have in a school. As others mentioned, it would not be appropriate to have an image of a guy and girl kissing, so why is a poster of two guys kissing acceptable? The school can teach tolerance without resorting to blatant "in your face" retardation - or I would hope they would be able to teach tolerance without such aids.

Same here, aside from registration. I'll never register for a party. I'm voting Libertarian until these "Republicans" get out of the Republican party.

There is something you do, classy... SOMETHING... that some other moralist busybody (much like yourself) can find offensive, make illegal, and punish you for it.

Laws punishing homosexuality having nothing to do with Christianity. They have everything to do with hating your neighbor and refusing to turn the other cheek to his sins.

Last time I checked the commandment

"People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks."

is not in the bible. But the story of where God himself wiped out Sodom and Gommorah is. If you wanna get churchy, fact is while there is forgiveness, mercy, and grace, there is also Judgement. Before you talk about christianity learn something about it. But then again I have come to the conclusion that learning is clearly not your strong suit.

Don't come crying when you cause Hillary to be elected like voting for Perot did to Bush/Clinton. Same shvt with Iran. All the sane people boycotted the election and caused the nutjob to be elected. Don't let this happen in 08.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.


What part about NO LAW do you not understand?

"NO LAW".

That also means that laws cannot be passed based on the made-up prejudices of certain religions, which would have the effect of favoring one religion over another (or the lack thereof).

It's not a "liberal agenda." Nor even remotely modern. The expression "separation of church and state" was coined by Thomas Jefferson. In a famous letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush discussing certain religious leaders who wanted to get their moral busybody-dom legislated, Jefferson said about them, "They fear me, and rightly so, for I have sworn upon the altar of Almighty God eternal hostility to every tyranny over the minds of men."
James Madison, who wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, said, "Strongly guarded is the separation between religion and government in the Constitution of the United States."

Your pastor lied to you, bitch.

Lmao, some of the guys in this forum need to leave the closet.
It's a picture of two guys kissing, what's wrong with that? If you seriously object to that completely innocent thing you are a homophobe.

Moron... :roll:


Picking and choosing our literal interpretation, are we? How typical.

Your "judgement" clearly has you in violation of the Greatest Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40). My advice to you is to actually read the book you pound on so frequently.

And back to the other side... sigh. If we don't all believe and accept the ways we're told to believe and accept, then we're guilty of thoughtcrime, and our rights to free expression are null and void. Homosexuality or being a "homophobe" have nothing to with that.

You're just as idiotically brainwashed as the fundie Christians here.

I've thought about this for some time now, and i cannot even grasp what's supposed to be wrong with this. It's 2 people kissing, how is that wrong?
They should've put two black people up there just for the gist of it.

I don't go to church. Why are you calling me a bitch? It's all interpretation and opinion. Jefferson's exact quote was "wall of separation of church and state" and it was more metaphorical than literal. Today's "Separation of Church and State" is a liberal phrase that is tossed around and taught to supress religious freedoms, short of endoring atheism.

I suppose you'd like to ban black people marrying aswell? If not, tell me exactly what's the difference here.

Ah, now that's completely different. If your school really is that uptight, then it would not be ok.
