    Defense Against LGBT Lawsuits

    Ah, I see what you're trying to do. You asked for an example of "targeting" a business. Then when I give you an example you change what you were asking. So address the example I gave you and stop avoiding it. And im not referring to any boycott so clearly you are not familiar with it.

    Defense Against LGBT Lawsuits

    Nice try. But whether an atheist couple likes it or not, they are participating in a relationship that God designed, whereas the gay couple is not.

    Clearly you are unfamiliar with the event I'm referring to. Please look it up.

    Defense Against LGBT Lawsuits

    Out of spite? So, a gay couple that purposely seeks out a business with crosses everywhere is just innocently seeking a wedding cake? I'm talking specifically about defending yourself against gay bullies. The business is not seeking out gay couples. The couples are purposely targeting these...

    Defense Against LGBT Lawsuits

    Thankfully, your social contract nonsense has been thoroughly discredited. Since when is the state necessary for a business to exist? Merchants have been trading in vast unclaimed territories for thousands of years. Yes, the God given constitutional right to freedom of association allows a...

    Defense Against LGBT Lawsuits

    No, I don't think you came on too strong, that's what I was asking for! :) And for the record I don't own a business and have no intention of doing that. It was merely a moral hypothetical. Considering it is illegal to force a Christian to do that in the first place, I was just looking ways...

    Calling All Climate Deniers

    Any scientific discipline that depends on huge amounts of public funding, and is highly political is automatically suspected of bias. Consider a climate "scientist" sitting at a university, minding his own business. A bureaucrat approaches him and says "we have this global warming theory that...

    Defense Against LGBT Lawsuits

    What do Christians think of the following strategy to defend your business against LGBT lawsuits targeting Christian businesses? If it's illegal to refuse to participate in a gay wedding, then is it also illegal to provide substandard service because you were too "distracted" by the evil you...

    How does God view our substance abuse?

    That is a good point. I had not viewed it in that way before, but that makes sense.

    How does God view our substance abuse?

    I have heard the pharmakia argument and think it's incredibly dangerous. If recreational drugs are condemned for this reason, then all forms of prescription drugs are equally condemned (if you want to be consistent). Using this interpretation, a modern anti-depressant is just as much a potion...

    How does God view our substance abuse?

    It depends on how much you are using and how it affects your life and those around you. If you are talking about "drinking 1-2 beers" or "smoking a cigarette or bowl" then no, I don't think that is a sin. Drug and alcohol use is not a sin, but drunkeness is. On the other hand, if that...

    I am moving to Tennessee

    Hey I'm moving to Tennessee, too! But we are going to Knoxville. It seems like a great state to live in with a lot of fun things to do. We are coming from Ohio, so not nearly as far as you though! From what I can gather, a lot of companies are moving there because of the low taxes (one of...

    Moving to Knoxville

    Anybody from Knoxville, TN? I just took a new job there and don't know anyone in the area (moving from Dayton, OH). I will be moving soon and am quite nervous (and excited) about it. I really think I will love the area so it should be a fun, new adventure! Any recommendations for fun...

    Jesus' Instructions to the Healed

    When Jesus performs miracles and heals the sick, He sometimes gives different instructions to people. In general, He performs miracles so people will believe. But in a few random stories Jesus instructs the person He healed to keep quiet and not tell anyone about the miracle (e.g. Mark...
