As a proponent of everything gay, I say "no".

The problem, like everything else, is the inability to not allow the radical left to hijack the movement for these purposes.

Remember, we had LATiger here telling us that this was going to happen before he passed away. He nailed it in terms of the players and the outcomes. He knew the Pedos would latch on as well.

I use that term a lot myself, actually. The only ones who get triggered are in liberal bastions of filth who get offended by the term "Merry Christmas."

As an atheist, I use the term as well a lot too.

Again, this is yet another example of the far left hijacking something.

It was a general statement.


So did people on the right go into our schools and ban the use of "holiday", or did people on the left go into our schools and ban the use of "Christmas"? Which sort of whining is more common?

Who's losing their shite here?

I get what you are saying, but that's not a reason to deny gay people the very basic rights and privileges the rest of us have.

I would say the number of people in this country asking for a reduction in the age of consent, is something like 0.00001 percent.

As a philosophy, it's been around for decades. The first recorded use of this sort of mindset can be found in Genesis 3 when the Satan posed the question, "did God really say...?"

"Inability" implies that they didn't want the radical left to do exactly what they've done. Of the gay community, what percentage is part of the far left if you had to guess? Is it more or less than 50%?

You don't remember the "Keep Christ in Christmas" phenomena a few years back?

So you are saying gay marriage is "evil"?
I say that which violates the character of God, which is the very definition of goodness, is that which is evil.

God condemns homosexuality as sin, therefore as evil. I agree. Homosexuality isn't alone there, though.

quote:

If that is how you feel, I can't help you.
I don't need your help. I'm a sinner in need of salvation like everyone else. Only God can provide the help that I and everyone else truly needs.

I teach my kids that evil exists (real evil, not the "gay" evil) and I teach them how to deal with it.
What is your standard for identification of evil and why is that your standard?

You realize that using wild definitions of postmodernity, which has discipline specific definitions (as in postmodernity in architechture is different from postmodernity in literature) makes you as guilty of as the "postmodernists" of using words in relative, rather than specific senses?

quote:

Who specifically started the strain which you are inculcating in this instance of moral relativism?

You didn't answer my question; I'll try again. Which group asked/demanded that a common word be largely struck from public institutions? Was it Christians complaining about "holiday" or was it secular liberals complaining about "Christmas"?

Again, I don't want to deny anyone anything. That wasn't my point.

You are just focusing on one aspect in your reply.

LAT warned us about pedos, hijacking the church, things like infiltrating the education system, etc..

The personal emails that dude sent to me were pure gold and I wish I still had them. He literally nailed it all.

I wish he was still here for many reasons, one of the main ones being to drive the leftists here nuts.

You seem to be struggling here. I'm not talking about art but philosophy.

Here's the layman's view at Wikipedia.

Mick, a few bumper stickers about the above quote does not equate to the RABID demand that the far left whackos have advocated and gotten their way with about the term "Christmas."

That "phenomena" as you say, was a tiny whimper of protest and amounted to nothing. Surely you know that, or either you are being intentionally obtuse or are intellectually dishonest.

You sound like someone who advocates for small government, as a conserative, but you want your government to espouse religions values, as long as it's your religion.

You don't think our government should allow gays to marry, because your religion frowns upon yet.

Yet, I imagine if anyone ever suggested that Islam influence our laws, that you would lose your mind.

No. This all predated gay marriage. I seriously hope the GOP doesn't reimbrace traditional marriage for a campaign platform nationwide. It's a losing position.

I know exactly what Postmodern philosophy is. I'd wager that I'm more familiar with it than any person on this board, in that I've actually read most of the major works of 20th century philosophy. Again, even the definition you linked doesn't justify moral relativism, because Lyotard's definition only makes sense when you understand what Philosophical Modernism (which began with Descartes), and understand the effect both World Wars had on European philosophy.

So who are these philosophers who laid the groundwork for the moral relativism?
