No, you loon, I don't believe any of those things. I'm a single mother, too. My world is definitely not narrow. I'm not the one assigning thoughts and feelings (incorrectly) to others based solely on my own narrow vision of what I THINK their faith means.
this is what you said Allie:
And we're having it. Traditional families are no longer respected or seen as things of value. They are being supplanted by non-traditional families; i.e., families headed by homosexuals. People for the past 40 years have been encouraged to "find themselves" at the cost of their families, and to walk away from their families at the first sign of difficulty or less than perfect happiness...and then are encouraged to play the field and bring serial partners into the family home, where their children are exposed.
now you gave the example of families headed by the dreaded "homosexual" but it could just as easily be headed by a single mother, could it not? I can only form my opinions of you based on how you present those opinions Allie and you present them very narrowly. You believe YOUR way is the ONLY right way. I think your way has value as well, it's not how I would choose to do things but it clearly works for you and so it must have merit.
So we're changing from hating Christians because they "force" their religion on others, to stating we just have a problem with the way it's "presented".
I'm not sure where all this Christian hating rhetoric comes from. is this a pity party that I wasn't invited to? I'm a Christian and I don't feel hated, not for being Chirstian anyway.
I don't badger people into believing anything, never have never will. I defend my own belief from assholes who call me a "nutter" a "bible thumper" and "narrow minded" without having so much of a glimmer into what I'm about. I defend myself from assholes who ask me what I believe, then start screaming that I'm trying to "force" my religion down their throat when I state my beliefs.
again, it's how you present your beliefs that make me view you as a nutter. Saying that families headed by homosexuals are what is wrong with society is ridiculous. They love their families and their children as much as a heterosexual would. The human heart does not know orientation when it comes to a parent loving their child. The fact that you SEEM to believe being homosexual somehow makes a person UNFIT to be a parent is what I'm taking issue with.
Like I said, I can only go by how you present yourself online. Are you different IRL than online? if you are then you're right, I can't possibly KNOW you or what you're about. I personally am the same online as offline. I don't know how to be two different people simply because I have the comfort of hiding behind a keyboard. I'm not saying anything on here that I don't say IRL and that I wouldn't say if you were standing in front of me.
I believe abortion is wrong. I believe our government is wrong in promoting it, and I don't believe that is the government's job. Do I think women who have aborted are morally bankrupt? Have I ever said that? I don't believe I have. I have said I pity women who are lulled into believing it's a good choice by a government and a loud-mouthed pack of progressive teachers who tell our children that it's a good choice, devoid of any sort of repercussion. I pray for women who have had abortions (and this isn't impersonal, believe me) and I have no intention of saying here or anywhere else that I know what, if any, price they will ultimately pay. I have no idea. I just know that at its core it's wrong. And it's wrong to tell people otherwise.
how is our government "promoting" abortion Allie? there is no funding for abortion services...the FDA blocked RU486 for YEARS even though it's used worldwide and is safer, less invasive and cheaper than surgical abortion.
Also, having had to have an abortion myself, I can tell you when I went for the required counseling beforehand, NO ONE told me it was a "GOOD CHOICE" the clinic wanted to make sure I was making this decision on my own and not being forced or pressured by outside influence. They were kind and supportive and talked me through all my options. This was BEFORE Bush took office of course. NOW, who knows what they'd tell me. Perhaps that I was going to hell if I terminated the pregnancy.
That's not forcing anythign down anyone's throat. I get so sick of progressives who will screech their own hideous beliefs all over the place, and are insulting when they do it...who cry "foul!" when some person DARES to voice an opinion that is different from theirs.
you cons are whiners. You bitch and complain about abortions, your guns, immigration, and any number of issues. You blame liberals for everything even though the cons have been in power, either in the white house or in congress for all but 12 of the last 30 years.
Newsflash. Just because somebody has a different opinion doesn't mean they're 1. forcing it down your throat, or 2. narrow minded.
That's just rhetoric.
perhaps we think your beliefs are hideous? perhaps we're sick of your insults too? perhaps we would like to DARE to voice our opinion without being called parasites and unbelieving Godless jackasses. (and no, those aren't words YOU have every said personally...I'm paraphrasing the sentiment by the cons so don't get your knickers in a twist).
