Freedom of religion more fundamental than free speech. Little point to free speech if not free to have different beliefs to speak about.
Our civil rights are determined by whoever is best at bullying.
Are we all done caring about the host of The Daily Show yet?
Boy, I hope Iran doesn’t nuke any country I’ve heard of.
I’m thinking there’s ways to get everyone cake with no one being forced against their beliefs, but I dare say I’m missing the point.
Point of Order: They now say there are a number of different genders out there, but is it bigoted if I’m only attracted to one?
I kinda feel for Trevor Noah. If I ever had any unfunny tweets, I wouldn’t want people to focus on them.
I know when I’m intellectually secure in my position, I do everything I can to shut down the possibility of debate.
I’m still fascinated by the fact that all the Better Call Saul episode titles end in ‘o’ except one. What does it mean?!
I guess we’ve advanced so much as a country that most of the discrimination we’re now fighting is only theoretical.
Christians have strongly held religious views on marriage. They have them now. They’ll have them a thousand years from now. Cope with it.
When Jesus pointed to Adam and Eve (one man, one woman) as God’s model for marriage, was he being hateful? Would we put up with that now?
So what’s next? “We found a plumber who if he hypothetically sold pizza said he would hypothetically not cater a gay wedding.”
“Kill! Crush! Destroy!” -robot AI gone bad; also, current civil right movement
It’s too bad Sylvester is known primarily for his attempted violence against Tweety Bird and not his tireless efforts to end the suffering of succotash.
“With this kinda sorta agreement with Iran, I have saved the world. I’m basically Superman.” -President Obama
“Oh, I love your shoes! Oh, mommy, they’re so pretty. When you die and I’m a grown-up, can I please wear them?” -my 4yo to her mother
“What does it mean?!” Coded dog-whistle endorsement of the Marx Brothers?
And what’s with Tweety’s fascination with tattoos, or “tats”? Keeping it PG. There’s more to Granny than you thought.
“It’s too bad Sylvester is known primarily for his attempted violence against Tweety Bird …”
True. People who view Sylvester as black and white are only seeing him on the surface – literally.
I remember say things like “I love hamburgers!” and having a smartie say, “If you love it, why don’t you marry it?” Somehow I see the whole redefining of marriage movement as having that statement as its core tenet.
“Christians have strongly held religious views on marriage. They have them now. They’ll have them a thousand years from now. Cope with it.”
You can’t seriously believe there will be any admitted Christians still living in ten years? Look how far they’ve been taken down in the last ten. Back then, it wasn’t even legal to BE a homosexual in all parts of the country.
EdthePastor – will you officiate at my wedding to tuna or are you a bigot?
Jesus would face those who “wouldn’t put up with that” just like the Sanhedrin – it would be ever so cool to watch.
I hope she said “No, we’re going to donate them to Michelle Obama’s School Lunch Program.”
Regarding Better Call Saul, having never seen any episode of this show I have the following theory. Episodes of the radio and television show Dragnet were all titled “The Big…” The Big Heist, The Big Mink, The Big Print, etc. however there was rarely an episode titled something like “the Kidnapping of Elise Garner”. There never was any explanation that I could find about the practice. The Saul episodes ending in “o” could be a nod to the Dragnet style of title or it could be the writers being clever for no reason at all.
I did however watch a trailer for the Better Call Saul show and the parking lot attendant is Jonathan Banks from Beverly Hills Cop, the thug that shot Axle’s childhood friend at the beginning of the movie. I think he’s underrated.
Rihar,
Underrated? Have you seen Breaking Bad? Everyone loves his character in it. A big draw of Better Call Saul is that he’s reprising that role.
Plus, I loved him in last season of Community when he was basically playing the same character in a comic situation.
“When Jesus pointed to Adam and Eve (one man, one woman) as God’s model for marriage, was he being hateful? Would we put up with that now?”
I know I will get hated on for saying this but oooh well!
God had not had sex with the virgin yet to make Jesus when Adam and Eve were around.
@10 – Guess that depends on who you ask:

Damn Cat-have to check with the home office, can’t find precedence but I suspect your bride wouldn’t last once I break out the can opener.
Harvey-I stand and applaud
Frank,
Nope, never saw any of Breaking Bad. I did watch the Honest Trailer for Breaking Bad. Is that enough?
Glad to hear he’s doing well.
If God has a “Son,” then who is the Son’s Mother ? (Or, Father, depending your assumptions about the gender of God)
As far as I can tell, God loves to eat and have sex.
“Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”
“You are not yet fifty years old,” the Jews said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”
“I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.
John 8:56-59
Not only was Jesus the Son of God, preexisting from before the beginning of time, but he also apparently had Mad Super-Ninja skillz!
