just give it up! You are obviously taking this issue to heart for whatever reason and at this point it just old and worn out. You have made personal accusations about me based on my spiritual values, you keep trying to twist me up in scriptures as though i picked up a Bible yesterday for the first time and thats all fine. now if you really care about what i believe, which i highly doubt you do, i would love to have a conversation with you about the word of God off line. let me know.

However, I have an issue with using the Super Bowl as a place to champion a political social cause. Especially one that, like it or not, can be a source of division and alienation for some. I don't like when people bring politics into my Synagogue (and make it a point to not discuss politics there), and I feel like to me the Super Bowl should be about the football game and the players, and not a place to "champion" gay marriage.
I agree with you in theory, but you know several NON-FOOTBALL topics will be covered in Media Week... It's just the nature of the national media. I don't see BA going out of his way to steer an interview towards same sex marriage. I think he'll just choose to speak about it if/when someone asks. He and Chris Kluwe of the Vikings are WELL known for their outspoken support of same sex marriage, so I'm sure a good portion of the questions asked of BA will involve that.
Let's get some obvious out of the way...BA won't be commanding a crowd at media day. I like him, but he's not even top 10 on the popular list of Ravens. He's going to be a guy who will be making the rounds and a few radio stations/writers here and there will grab him for a quick interview. I'm sure that the ones who do will ask him about his noted views, which are news worthy to them because not many sports figures have come out for it as strongly as BA has.

Don't witness to me either, it's condescending.
As i said in my first post if anyone that is gay is offended by my stance I'm sorry. if you would like i will go back and edit it to include anyone that this issue is close to, i apologize. but to you i extended my personal apologies.

its not about picking what you want its what the word says. The second part of the Bible (The New Testament) abolishes the laws of old.
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; to make in himself of two one new man, so making peace; Ephesian 2:15
with respect to you, dont just argue with me for the sake of your pride or argument sake if you already know that you don't know what your talking about.
So...God said "You know what fellas? I'm sorry, I was a little harsh back then...had a drinking problem...but that's in the past now! Here you go. Here's the new ish. BOOM. I just blew your mind."
:D

Oppressing a minority and apologizing while you're doing it does not make it ok to continue oppressing.
