I will tolerate your different definition of faith, and by "tolerate" I mean that come next election I'll be voting to take away your right to have that definition.<BR/><BR/>Skye: Thanks!B.G.

The argument that really befuddles me (seriously - explain this to me because I'm not seeing it) is this one: keeping gay marriage legal takes away the rights of conservatives because, if gay marriage is legal, then everyone thinks conservatives are bigots and this silences the conservative voice. But making gay marriage illegal preserves the right of conservatives to have their opinions, and everyone can have an open dialogue about it.<BR/><BR/>Nope - I am NOT KIDDING. And this is from a normally intelligent guy.<BR/><BR/>You know, just because you no longer have faith in religion doesn't mean you aren't a person of faith. I mean, maybe you aren't, and that's fine. However, when people tell me I don't believe in anything, and I am no longer a person of faith, I tell them that I believe in, and have faith in love, justice, compassion, mercy, equality, and hundreds of other things.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006115623631732544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14843205.post-51716999589515715232008-11-02T22:16:00.000-07:002008-11-02T22:16:00.000-07:00Craig: Chicken, beef, or shrimp?TK: What's sad to ...Craig: Chicken, beef, or shrimp?<BR/><BR/>TK: What's sad to me is that so many people, rather than acknowledge that they don't see the whole elephant, cling so strongly to the belief that their portion of truth is The Whole Truth, to the point that they are willing to hurt others in the name of that truth.B.G.

Maybe it's because they assign (interpret) different motives to (whatever) the behavior. Maybe it was planned to be that way - to test our good intentions to be loving and tolerant. I think a lot of things in this world are like the 5 blind men, describing an elephant - each with a different opinion, depending on where he was standing. Their different opinions didn't change the truth of what the elephant looked like, and there was some truth in what each of them said.<BR/><BR/>I'm sincerely sorry that you see this in a way that is so upsetting to you. But good for you - hang on to your hopeful attitude!TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09649729044618999452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14843205.post-30452176515392575652008-11-02T11:41:00.000-07:002008-11-02T11:41:00.000-07:00Ramen.Ramen.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09374110841642375968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14843205.post-44128216420992219452008-11-02T07:21:00.000-07:002008-11-02T07:21:00.000-07:00And here's something much better stated that I jus...And here's <A HREF="http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dd3xpn44_0dpg5wrcb#sdfootnote4sym" REL="nofollow">something much better stated</A> that I just discovered <A HREF="http://serendipitystr8wife.blogspot.com/2008/11/wow.html" REL="nofollow">serendipitously</A>.B.G.
