Subject: RE: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages
First of all,in addressing the issue of 'bigotry' BoJ is stating her religious beliefs, and her distaste for homosexuality. That is her belief, and supported by her sources. She has a right to those beliefs, and to express them. Saying she is a bigot, and deriding her for it, relentlessly and ruthlessly, putting her on the defensive, makes it hard for her to function, expressing any thoughts, without being labeled, misquoted, taunted, jeered at, and forced into a position, that originally wasn't even her original intention. This kind of mob ganging up, is in itself bigotry..as I said earlier, "It is the weak who accuse others of their own motives" Whether you agree with her or not, I admire someone who can withstand all the taunting, just for standing by her beliefs. I know I take flak, just for quoting a definition, taken right out of psych 101.(sometimes 202, and post graduate studies, as well...and its just a definition!!!). The more mean spirited disrespect given to her, or anyone else, to whom one might disagree, certainly adds to her argument!. It does not show or convince anyone that homosexuals are as hip and tolerant, as they wish to be perceived. Then there is another issue, that none of anyone out there can prove one way or another.....the only one who could answer this one, wouldn't be here to share the answer....what if she is right?..I guess we won't know till we die, and return to where from we came. By that time, maybe we can convince our Maker, that He needs to recognize 'our' rights!..But until then, let's be civil to one another...and listen fully to the whole matter, before showing ourselves as narrow minded, and therefore stupid.....

As to the question to me from lansing, and Little Hawk, I was so tempted to answer it, when I came on, as requested, but I'm holding back, just a little longer, because of the mood in here, but I assure you it is so self evident, it would make your jaw drop. Also, Little Hawk was in a dialogue with Ebbie, that I thought it should run its course first....Hey...Love to all
