Not Congruent: A Response to FB Red Equal Symbol Marriage Equality Profile Picture Protest



Some good points on redefining marriage. I saw everyone changing their FB picture to the red equal symbol, and so I decided to change mine to the "not congruent" symbol. I used white text in a slate black field. http://s3.amazonaws.com/thf_media/2013/pdf/bg2775.pdf



  • D Does that mean you do not support gay Marriage?

  • me: i have some issues with it. i think my issues with it involve things that would occur after gay marriage is legalized acrossed the board - such as in regards to children, and loopholes that would now be created in terms of tax money expenditure/exploitation.

    Do i think two gays should be able to love each other - yes. (but they can do that now). i don't like the manipulation of the word marriage - either in english, or in terms of the courtroom. i think homosexuals should get a new word.

    Do i think that they should get some of the other perks associated with the nuclear family - idk. i'm on the fence; leaning towards no. i like lumping them in with single people. 

    Do i think that they are a third gender, or a new race - no. Most of my protest is to the way that they are handling this whole "inequality". I don't believe that their screaming, counter-culture, wave of coolness should judicate, eradicate, expunge, or even degrade those whose thoughts are not inline with theirs. And i don't see it as a civil rights issue - or at least not to the extent that they would see it. 

    I think it's a travesty that they compare their plight getting a marriage license with that of the African American Slave Trade.
  • A: Biting my tongue....
  • me: i know, it would have been much easier if i mentioned religion
  • A Ugh!
  • A Stop while you're ahead...
  • me: see this is where the monoculture kicks in. i know that this position of mine isn't popular. especially not with the gays. why would it be? they want what they want - and they are pretty good at getting it. 

    But you, D, asked me what i thought (es    sentially, what i believe to be true) and although i have LGBT friends, relatives, family members - and would love to be at their wedding ceremonies, i don't think i should have to jump into the BORG conversion process, just because we see things differently. 

    And, i don't think that my statements are harsh or cruel in any sense of the word. we just disagree, A. you used to be able to do that.
  • D: I think the government should not give out any marriage licences to anyone. But i do think they should give out civil unions to all people gay and straight.
  • D: I will talk to later about this and not on Facebook.

RE: San Bernardino Shooters Confirmed As Islamic Terrorists

This is in response to this Funker530.com article, and the statement made by ZH below. At this point, our president and his team want this anti gun agenda to happen so bad that he's gonna brush this under the rug. This was terrorist attack. I had a hard time sleeping last night because I have a heavy heart. This event was too close to home. Yeah we can pray for the victims but faith without works is dead. We need to take action as well as praying. We want peace, we have to be the first ones to take the steps towards it. War has been waged on American soil. Prepare for what may come. Have a plan with your loved ones in case of a emergency. Get a gun, bat, knife, machete, some type of protection for your household and educate yourselves and your loved ones about your protection. One love fam. - ZH What is terror exactly? And by that definition is the US Government a terrorist organization? At any rate, while discouraging you of thinking all Muslims are barbaric warmon...

Heart of Worship by Sarah Hernandez (my lil sister)

​​Heart of Worship week 1  by Sarah Hernandez ​ ​If you know me, you know that I love the ocean. It is a very special place for me and I feel a certain peace and closeness with God when I am there. I also surf, so I am very familiar with how the waves work, how the tide ebbs and flows, and the rhythms of the water. One day, while sitting on my surfboard, God gave me a vision of what kind of worship He wants from me, and he used the very thing I love, to illustrate it. I saw myself wading into the water, at first only knee deep, still standing on shore. I was completely content standing on the shore and feeling the water rushing back and forth, gently hitting my knees and back again. But there was a longing for more inside of my soul, to go deeper. I heard the Lord quietly beckon me out further, reminding me that He has everything under control, and to surrender the pre-conceived notions I have about Him and what my worship to Him may look like. Suddenly, I saw my...

Christian Economics

Christian Economics   by Most Rev. Dr. Robert M. Bowman, Presiding Archbishop, United Catholic Church   It is accepted as a given, at least in these United States, that Christianity and Free-Market Capitalism are inseparable. To those on the right, it is an article of faith. "That government governs best which governs least." "Godless Communism." "In God’s order there are no schemes of wealth distribution which under the government forces productive citizens to give the fruit of their labors to those who are nonproductive." (Pat Robertson in  The New World Order , page 228.) Laissez faire, tax cuts, slash government spending, downsize, balanced budget, welfare reform, tax relief, flat tax, deregulation, capital gains tax cuts, eliminate the income tax, disband the IRS — these make up the economic litany of conservative Christians. Capitalism and family values go hand in hand. Even liberals seldom badmouth capitalism. They just want to make it a li...
