His sign has somewhere between jack and shit to do with Christianity. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Jeff Amyx, who owns Amyx Hardware & Roofing Supplies in Grainger County, added the 'No Gays Allowed' sign because gay and lesbian couples are against his religion. Amyx, who is also a baptist minister, said he realized Monday morning that homosexual people are not afraid to stand for what they believe in. He said it showed him that Christian people should be brave enough to stand for what they believe in. http://www.wbir.com/story/news/local/claiborne-hancock-grainger-union/2015/06/30/store-puts-up-no-gays-allowed-sign-after-same-sex-marriage-ruling/29497621/ His sign has somewhere between jack and shit to do with Christianity. You only say that because you practice moral relativism. |

Hope he's ok going out of business... The guy is a social dinosaur, putting that sign up is analogous to having a "no blacks" sign.

Quote HistoryI would not have a problem with that sign for a privately owned business that is not government funded. Nor would I have a problem with a privately owned business that posted a sign that said "NO WHITES ALLOWED" Or one that said "NO ALIENS ALLOWED" or "NO FOREIGNERS ALLOWED". When as private business owner, the government controls who you must and must not sell to, you are no longer free. You are a puppet of the state. That is my opinion on the matter. |

I don't see how avatars have anything to do with seeing the writing on the walls. It's readily apparent to anybody paying attention that this is the direction in which the country is going. If you can't see the correlation between the racial civil rights movement of the last century and the sexual civil rights movement of this century, you're either blind or have your head in the sand, hoping it'll all just go away. |

How would anyone know you're a gay couple? Pull up to the service station and say "WE JUST GOT MARRIED! THANKS OBAMA!"? No. You wouldn't do that, just like you wouldn't pull into a service station in Detroit and tell the guy "I hate n-words" Quote HistoryQuoted:

No. You wouldn't do that, just like you wouldn't pull into a service station in Detroit and tell the guy "I hate n-words" Most gas stations in Detroit are owned by Arabs, that might not be as big of an issue as you think unless the other customers heard you. Good for this guy for standing up for what he believes in no matter what anyone else thinks or in liberals case, feels. More conservatives need to do this. I'm sick of giving in because my beliefs are not popular with people I could care less about. It's also sad to see how progressive some of GD has become. I'm glad I'm getting older, I won't be here to watch these assholes reep what they are sowing but I won't have to watch the destruction of America much longer either. Maybe I'm a dinosaur but I really don't give a rats ass anymore. |
