Re: Brendon Ayanbadejo plans to champion same-sex marriage at the Super Bowl
This is why i didnt want to get into a theological discussion on here because now i have to explain to you that u have taken the scriptures out of context to support your argument. simply put the Bible is divided into two parts. The first part gives a pretext to the second part but most of the laws in it no longer apply. both of the books you reference come from the first part

Re: Brendon Ayanbadejo plans to champion same-sex marriage at the Super Bowl
I bolded the wrong part, the " I know what I need to know" was the portion that got me. 20 post in to this thing with nothing of relevance really said you labeled (no one specifically) bigots and hypocrites. Why would you do that unless you were being a
Bigot : a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

Re: Brendon Ayanbadejo plans to champion same-sex marriage at the Super Bowl
No one on the pro gay side supports denying anyone of faith of their right to marry.
Nor does anyone believe that an inherent, unchangeable part of people of faith means that they deserve to lose any of their rights, save the right to impose their faith on people who don't believe or want it, which if one is to believe the Constitution, they never should have had in the first place.My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron

Re: Brendon Ayanbadejo plans to champion same-sex marriage at the Super Bowl
I never argued that anyone was being denied the right. But there's a vocal contingent on the pro-gay side that mocks, ridicules and otherwise denigrates all things religion. I know plenty of people of faith who are pro-gay yet they are screamed down from those on the pro-gay side who have decided to attack the entire institution of religion.
Hence the double standard NC was hinting at.

Edit. Not worth going down this sidetrack. Agree to disagree.

Re: Brendon Ayanbadejo plans to champion same-sex marriage at the Super Bowl
no, no! First you need to realize that i wasn't "owned" as your previous post would suggest.
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.

Re: Brendon Ayanbadejo plans to champion same-sex marriage at the Super Bowl
You know, I really don't care one-way-or-another about gay marriage itself. And I am not getting involved in this lovely and riveting conversation.
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.

Re: Brendon Ayanbadejo plans to champion same-sex marriage at the Super Bowl
and this is all that i have said from the jump.
so while it has been fun watching some of you try to paint me out as a monster, as though i have a special place for gays in my regard of them, i find it funny that none of you have re quoted me as saying that this is something BA should do on his free time
