The gay marriage decision will come sometime in June. It is not a recognized "right" at least not yet (although all signs point to the fact that the Supreme Court will rule in favor of allowing it).

really thinking of the ruling in June 2013 the struck down parts of DOMA, making gay marriage recognized at the federal level. The ruling this June is whether states will be required to allow it. Currently, South Carolina is required based on a federal district court ruling. Again, I never make any assumptions about decisions. We will see in June.

Re: This is not surprising to me.

"Focusing on Clemson football" is also about character (and by extension principle and beliefs). Like it or not, Dabo has built a reputation as a principled man of faith. It is a big part of how he coaches and just carries himself. This is no small disappointment. If you were a player and these same values were important to you, would you not lose respect for your coach? How could you not?

He was going to go, he obviously wanted to go, but when the intolerance brigade threw their normal public tantrum, he didn't go. He was initially willing to publicly back his beliefs, and he responded to their hissy fit by giving in. It's as simple as that.

No one's saying he doesn't still hold to those beliefs, but the whole point of the LGBT crowd throwing a fit every time someone presumes to exercise the First Amendment is b/c they will gladly grant your right to believe what you wish - in the privacy of your own mind, as long as you keep a lid on it - don't speak, don't advocate, and don't inconvenience them by exposing them to positions contrary to their own. Sure, Dabo still believes what he believes, but by definition, he caved in his willingness to say so. He did exactly what they want their enemies to do - which is to HUSH.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: It's not complicated


May 27, 2015, 9:43 PM

This is an organization that actively tried to influence legislation that would deny equal rights to a group of people. That goes against EVERYTHING that the United States were built upon. Any community has a right, if not an obligation, to cry foul when a person/group is actively trying to deny them the same rights that everybody else enjoys.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: It's not complicated


May 28, 2015, 7:39 AM

Good grief, do you know anything about the history of the United States? A hefty portion of the founders were Christian ministers, and not secular progressive types, either. They prized freedom of religious practice, but they didn't understand that to mean a full-on division between "secular" on the one hand, and "religious" on the other. To them, that included saying their piece in the public square about how religious beliefs (not formal practice) ought to effect governance. In a civil society, someone's understanding of morality will prevail - there is no such thing as moral neutrality enshrined in law. As such, every civil declaration - be it criminal law, tax law, abortion, homosexual "marriage," (or lack of) will have a definition derived from some assumption - from some value - from some standard.

You can't claim to be categorically against parameters and definitions unless you're really going to follow through with that, and cite a meaningful standard. Should marriage be allowed between 3? If not, then says who, and why the discrimination? What about between a brother and sister - and lets say the sister can't have kids, so that's not a complication. If this is barred, then according to what standard, and why do they not have the same freedom to make that decision that Bob and Steve have?

To declare that the sexes involved in marriage is irrelevant is the equivalent of calling a shape with four corners and four equal sides a circle. You can shout it all day long, but you'd be knowing something that just isn't so. One can play with words, but the thing itself doesn't change. No one's rights are being denied at all - well, except those bakers in Oregon who got fined $135,000 for not baking the cake for the same-sex couple, and the couple in Maine who got fined for not opening their property for a same sex wedding reception - yeah, I guess the whole "denial of rights" concern only goes one way, doesn't it?

At this point I hope you're just trolling.



You can't refuse service based on religion, sexual orientation, race, or gender.



Further, if you think they can, then at what sin from your bible is it ok for them to serve? All the others but the gay one? Can they pick and choose which sinners they want to serve?


Again...sorry the magic book doesn't get you a free pass to discriminate against other humans. You want to run a public business, then you serve all the public.

Not everyone 'believe' that statement.

I think the government should be OUT of the marriage business all together. Give any two consenting adults a civil union certificate for legal purposes.

Then any religion can do whatever they want about ceremonies and texts and vows.

Go to any church and poll them on their beliefs. You'll find as many different opinions as members. You seem to think YOUR kind of Christian is the only one. But then again, that is what MOST Christians and indeed MOST religious people think.

Which is why YOU think Muslims are wrong.
Which is why Muslims think YOU are wrong.
Which is why Hindus think Jews are wrong.
Which is Native Americans think B'hai are wrong.
Which is why B'hai think Buddhists are wrong.
Which is why withing ANY religion there are denominations, branches, sects, cults, etc... so they can ALL believe that they want and call it 'Insert Religion Here' and say they are the TRUE 'Insert Religion Here'

My simple point was not ALL Christians believe their beliefs should be imposed on others.

they force their beliefs on their children, they are trying to enforce their beliefs on public policy/law. Missionaries try to force their beliefs. They try to call it evangelism and scare people into thinking their way and is nothing but a scare tactic. The scare tactic is used just like your examples of shooting, beheading, burning. They try to make people believe that they will burn in hell if they do not do as the Bible says. That is trying to force someone to take their word just because they said so. "Christians" also use the scare tactic to promote themselves and profit, scaring people to give money. You can say they are not true Christians, which, imo, is true,,,but they do use christianity as a force.

All religions try to force their beliefs on others. Me, you or anyone really knows what is true.
