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.

More Christian Than You Are: Judging Other Christians

More Christian Than You Are 0 October 29, 2012,   0  Comments Romans 2:1 NASB Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. I'm having a hard time right now with my parents, who say they are Christian, and in a very hurtful way, they will tell me that my heart is not right, or that i'm not living my life right, or that my problems are a result of not living a good Christian life. I go to Church regularly, up until recently, I would go to Church with my Mom, while my Dad was out surfing. I've read the Bible 4 times, and I know (or at least I can tell when a verse from the Bible is being cited, and) when someone is making up something that sounds like it should be in the Bible, but it isn't. My Dad doesn't read the Bible. And so, I am basically at odds with people who are stuck in the 80's mentality of how ...

The Little Brown Church in the Vale, Chick-fil-A, & Gay Marriage

In an interview with Baptist Press, Cathy said the company was "guilty as charged" in supporting the "biblical definition of the family unit." “We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives,” said Cathy, the son of company founder S. Truett Cathy.    Recently, the issue went even further when Boston's mayor said that he would block Chick-Fil-A from opening in his city.  Boston Mayor Thomas Menino told the Boston Herald he would work to block Chick-fil-A from opening a restaurant in the city. “You can’t have a business in the city of Boston that discriminates against a population,” Menino said. The Little Brown Church in the Vale, Chick-fil-A, & Gay Marriage I went to a wedding in Iowa a couple years ago, and found that the Church was this small chapel with some ZZ Top looking ministers who have been doing weddings since 1864. Over 40,000 visitors come to the Little Brown Church each year,...

What Does it Say About Christians that On the Whole, We Don't Tithe

What Does it Say About Christians that On the Whole, We Don't Tithe May 2, 2015,   0  Comments   Edit post I'm part of the 92% of Christians that don't tithe. I want to. I just tell myself I don't make enough to tithe.  Then I read a Study: Christians Who Tithe Have Healthier Finances Than Those Who Don't: http://bit.ly/HealthyTithe .  And I compared it to an article about Why I Don't Believe in Tithing: http://bit.ly/tithingdifferently What did I find out? The church of today is not great at at giving.   This isn’t exactly news. But it is a statistical fact:  Tithers  make up only 10-25 percent of a normal congregation.  Only 5 percent  of the U.S. tithes, with 80 percent of Americans only giving 2 percent of their income.  Christians are only giving at  2.5 percent  per capita,  while during the Great Depression they gave at a 3.3 percent rate. ...
