Now i know the vast majority of people I'm friends with on Facebook are in the same pool of thought on all of this as me but I just needed to write this - apologize in advance for it being long but trust me, it's a worthwhile read smile emoticon I just made the mistake of reading self-proclaimed "intelligent, thoughtful, fact-filled and emotional" opinions on how this is the end of times, that the Supreme Court is pushing the Liberal agenda to make us all into bestiality and how God has set the laws and we are going against them. I'm all for intelligent discourse - but this is fucking ridiculous on most counts. Should the Supreme Court have made a ruling on Marriage? No - Marriage is in its own right a religious entity. But here's the problem …show more content…
The SC decided this went against the 14th amendment in what is basically unequal treatment, same logic of why I can't refuse ot hire someone because they are female or black. That's the legal standpoint - but I have an announcement to the conservative, religious individuals who will insist on calling me a "fucking liberal" for these comments. If what is happening in this country is truly wrong, truly against the will of God and us satanical liberals have invaded the very fabric of America's legislative and judiciary systems to push our anti-god agenda, then bask in the glory that we are wrong and you are right. Damnation will befall all of us and you will not be forced to co-exist with us in your heavenly plane while we experience eternal suffering in hell. Please - just accept that you are right. Congratulations, you've pointed out the flaws and can smile and cheer knowing you are right. You're better than us liberals and you deserve that - so now, can …show more content…
THE FUCK. UP Bask in silent mockery of our world because I'm absolutely sick of this shit. Congrats - this was the straw to break the camels back, the one point you had to stand on as the pinnacle decision that liberals are ruining America because it must be completely on us - I mean, when conservatives are in charge, America is the best fucking country on Earth right? I mean the world doesn't hate us, we don't have a political system that hasn't had an effective legislative branch in almost 30 years and we aren't becoming unbelievably corrupt NEWS FLASH - AMERICA SUCKS. It sucks to such a degree that when looking at public perceptions of corruption, the US ranks up there with North Korea. The only element we are "top" in is military spending. People are dying, starving, cannot find work, be able to pay their bills or get a life-saving or extending surgery. Shootings have gone rampant, suicides and homicides are increasing among minority groups (basically, anyone who isn't male and white is fucked) - but please make sure we expend all of our effort on stopping two men from getting married because that's really the main
Opposed to contrary beliefs, I “hate the sin, but not the sinner.” I will not condone it. I will not vote for it. I will not hate them, and I will not be a bully. I recognize that we live in a nation full of Christians and not a Christian nation which separates the church from the state, but my Christian faith does not agree with the practices of homosexuallity. On top of that, if gay marriage is not a “big deal” then why did people force the Supreme Court embedded gay marriage in the Constitution? With everyone arguing about the Supreme Court decision and that “Same-sex marriage is [now] a fundamental constitutional right guaranteed under the 14th Amendment”, an easy response is to attack the opponent by arguing that what happens under the roof of someone’s home is not the business of the government. My bigger question, however, is if the marital status of two people is not the business of the national government, then why did the Supreme Court have to hear and review to the court case to please the people? Shouldn’t the judiciary branch of the government focus on imposing more important policies for the betterment of the American nation instead of personal
I’ve always been an optimistic person, but while reading The Betrayal of the American Dream, I felt so much of that optimism drain out of me. Prior to this, I had mistakenly believed there was a difference between the two political parties in that one of them actually had the people’s best interests at heart. I began to question that belief in recent years, and Barlett and Steele killed whatever faith I had remaining in it. The more I read the book, the more I wanted to find something that wasn’t true; something I could disagree with. Yet the authors did a very good job with their fact-checking, and I found out I must be more of a liberal than I had thought, because they are making complete sense.
Liberals base their positions on emotions, not facts and logic and then they work backwards to shore up their position. This is why it’s a waste of time to try to convince a liberal of anything based on logic. You don’t “logic” someone out of a position that he didn’t use “logic” to come up with in the first
Among young influential minds, The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington DC. evoked foster care placement to prevent the ability of children being placed in homosexual homes. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights article 16 states, “Men and women of full age, without any limitation...have the right to marry...found a family... entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution…” (UDHR, 1948). Not defending the ability to same-sex marriage. In New Jersey a Methodist Ocean Grove Camp declined a Civil Union Ceremony. Religious beliefs argue that in the bible God does not promote or support gay marriage. Supporting their reasons in the bible, as stated by God, “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither...nor homosexuals...will inherit the kingdom of God.” (1st Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV)). Debates continue in several schools. At a school in Florida a social studies teacher posted a comment on facebook criticizing same-sex marriage. In other schools teachers dismissed students involved in homosexual relationships claiming to be uncomfortable. Therefore, many will argue the several consequences to allowing same-sex marriage, but the inability to see past the discrimination among Americans prevent a growth in our society. Positivity can be created through Americans creating a
I came to the United Stated from Poland at the age of six. I grew up in a very liberal city and believed that I was a liberal as well. Everyone around me, my teachers and my peers, always denounced conservative beliefs. I never took the time to actually learn and research the facts for myself. In January 2016, when the election was 11 short months away, I realized that it was time to learn about the candidates in order to make an educated vote. With this, it was necessary to learn, for myself, about the political parties. This was when I realized that my views and beliefs did not align with the Democratic Party and that I am actually a conservative. Those around me did not take kindly to my newly discovered beliefs and I lost many friends,
The Supreme Court argues that gay marriages are not pleasing in God’s eyes, and further violates the same sex couples’ from their freedom of religion. A cultural issue is at hand in this case due to the people and the government going by tradition and religion. The First Amendment states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise therefore”. Free exercise refers to being allowed to worship whatever it is that they believe in without the government imposing on them, it is their right. People have the liberty to express the rights they are given and should be protected. However, if that comes in the form of not allowing state or federal government services, then they cross a line by saying the state or federal government must conform to their
America’s use of atomic weapons against Japan, usually have been classified as “revisionists” and the original revisionist argument maintained that the atomic bomb was used primarily to intimidate the Soviet Union in order to gain the upper hand in Eastern Europe and to keep Moscow out of the war in the Far East. The national strategy of the US was to stop Russia from being the dominant power in East Asia regardless of the actions of Americans to Japan. Henry Stimson on May 14 and 15 in year 1945, wrote in his diary ‘Diary Entries’, that the use of the atomic bomb gave the United States big superiority over the Soviet Union. ‘‘I called it a royal straight flush and we mustn't be a fool about the way we play it. They can't get along without our help and industries and we have coming into action a weapon which will be unique.’’- he
Advocates play an important part of the encounter stage of conversion. Rambo defines an advocate as someone who “assesses the potential target audience and formulates persuasive tactics to bring converts into the religious community” (Rambo 66-67). Islam is one of the few religions that have clear and particular missionary enterprises. It is also important to examine the nature of the advocate. For example Rambo states that the following are important considerations: “Is conversion central to their mission? What is their personal experience of conversion? What do they understand conversion to be? What are their motivations for missionary work? What are the goals of the missionary enterprise as a whole? What does the advocate deem to be the
Castaldy and Collins state that due to technology children are going outside less and are staying indoors more often due to their extensive use of technology, children are remaining seated in one position for a long period of time resulting in poor health . In the time children would normally be out with friends has significantly been replaced with technology as it is no longer needed for children to go out side to connect with friends as they can do so from home and receive a form of socialization through social media, the fact the children no longer need to go outside to interact with friends and play is highly affecting health and resulting in obesity in kids (Castaldy and Collins 1).
As normal humans we see the world trough as an array of color. It would be difficult to live in the 21st century without being able to see color. Living in the modern world we associate colors with meanings; such as a red light at a stoplight means stop, and green means go. But how are we able to see color? ColoRotate states in their article titled How do we perceive color?, that “[w]e perceive color when the different wavelengths composing white light are selectively interfered with by matter … on their way to our eyes, or when a non-white distribution of light has been emitted” (ColoRate). This shows that when light is absorbed by the human eye it gets absorbed and we perceive it as color. The human eye follows a specific structure, whereby the different components of the eye make it possible to see and process color.
I have read an article on nytime, where it’s stated “The right to marry is a fundamental right inherent in the liberty of the person,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the court in Obergefell v. Hodges.“Under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment couples of the same sex may not be deprived of that right and that liberty. (editorial board 2015)”There are multiple reaction to this case and I really feel, everyone must have their freedom , since we live in a free country but if you view it from a religious point of view, I totally disagree with this type of freedom. God has made Adam and Eve for a purpose and I believe that purpose is being destroyed by legalizing same sex
Friday evening, after I put my children to bed, I sat down and watched President Trump's Inauguration speech online through ABC News. Throughout his speech, I felt like he is continuing the path that he started, whether it ends up being amazingly good for our country or worse, has yet to be determined. I did not vote for President Trump, however, I did not vote for Hillary Clinton either. I did vote for Gary Johnson. I knew he wouldn't win, I was hoping he would reach that 5% of the popular vote, therefore, he would be able to get government funding during the next election. I felt neither of them was right for America. When President Trump won the election, so many of my friends were upset, while many were excited. I am nervous and not really looking forward to what his plans are.
Get off your high-horses. To all of you who are surprised, and absurdly blaming Trump’s victory on the “stupidity” of the American people or “whitelash”, have some humility and take it on the chin. Quit it with the elitist posts; you are not superior to anyone and your moral compass is no better than anyone else's.
To be perfectly clear, let’s paraphrase your infamous, narcissistic hero Barack Obama. Elections have consequences; we won, you lost. Let that penetrate the closed-minded little fantasy worlds of all you liberal ideologues. You don’t get to change or make up rules after an
The main reason for denying marriage to gay couples is that all major religions consider homosexuality a sin, however, the First Amendment of the Constitution clearly states that a person's religious views or lack thereof must be protected. Marriage by the state is a secular activity, the government cannot start making laws just because a religion says they should. What's next, should we make taking the Lord's name in vain a criminal activity because Christians consider it a breaking of a commandment? No! There are at
