Small town newspaper article hits the nail on the head

[Mister D]

IMO, it's okay for right wingers, especially "conservatives" to call bull$#@! on certain ideas being floated inside the conservative camp. In fact, I encourage it. While I believe Huber is sincere, I also think he is wrong in some instances because he isn't thinking through what would happen if he got his way. Example;
"You can have pornography on TV or the internet, but you better not put a nativity scene in a public park during Christmas;"

Mr. Huber is advocating limiting capitalism to only Christian-approved ventures and censoring all things not Christian-approved, a violation of the First Amendment, plus he is advocating making Christianity the state-sanctioned religion and forcing taxpayers to comply in support of that religion to the exclusion of all others. Another violation of the First Amendment.

If we allow people, be they Left or Right, Conservative or Liberal, to chip away at our Constitution, how long before there is no Constitution remaining for the rest of us?

Wait...what? Where?

You can have pornography on TV or the internet, but you better not put a nativity scene in a public park during Christmas;

There?

[Max Rockatansky]

Wait...what? Where?



There?

Affirmative.

[Mister D]

Affirmative.

Could you elaborate?

[Peter1469]

He's being polite. What he meant to say is that your comment was inane. You still don't get it so I may as well add that your IQ is probably close to the mean $#@! IQ of 85.

A gentleman named Ken Huber, from a small town in Michigan called Tawas City (pop. 2000), sent an editorial in to his local newspaper and it was published. Mr. Huber's opinion reflects my own.

Now do I hear an AMEN for that man!!!!!!!

The fact that I had to Zoom it to practically the level of an electron microscope shows how inconsiderate and self-centered you Right Wingers are.

[MrJimmyDale]

He doesn't appear to exist. There is no Ken Huber in Tawas apparently.

Yes there is....... I found him...

[MrJimmyDale]

See, you're problem is that you take time to vet things. You need to learn to just take $#@! at face value from any old hack source simply because you want to believe it. ... silly!

Like believing Ravi?????

I think that religions were a codification of tribal or community standards of long ago. It was a way of keeping everyone on the same page. I don't have use for "religion" as I have reason, but it does not mean that I don't believe in a Divine Character who either created all things or maybe all things are that Character and It is having a dream. My spirituality and belief affords me some basic sympathy towards the religious because they seek that which is unseeable and in their own way are on a scientific voyage, moreso now that we live in an age that promotes atheism and agnosticism with glee.

Every year that a reporter gets to say that church attendance has gone down you can see the sparkle in their eye. I work in that field and most everyone is a liberal and most say they are agnostic or atheist. When I say I'm a liberal leaning monarchist who has an affinity for shamanism I'm laughed off as the lot eccentric. That's fine. I'd rather be on my own than part of a group that purports to be free thinkers but still promotes the agenda handed to them.

Not a free thinking one in the bunch.

I have sex. I have had a lot of sex. I don't have a problem with people having sex with one, two, three or however many people and I don't care what kind of sex, either. You want to have gay sex, bi sex, BDSM sex--not my business. From this I mean to say, that I am not a moralist. We own only ourselves so do as thou wilt, to quote Crowley, but with my own caveat of, as long as you don't hurt anyone.

I bring this up because what I'm about to say will automatically shut down dialogue and cluster me with the dreaded RWNJ label that floats so freely around here.

I think things have gone too far in one direction.

What's wrong with a nativity scene in a public park? Who really does it hurt? Does it burn someone's eyes to see it?

Watch MTV lately? When it isn't a programme glorifying cruel pranks or teen mothers, it's award shows which introduce sexuality, violence, and the occult. Even Katy Perry, whom I love for her tits, has a swath of young girl fans and presents a ritual award presentation that included men in black with horns, fire, and her in a skimpy outfit that has a cross on it. Madonna back in her time never even attempted to appeal to children, but today's women allow their producers, agents, and managers to sell dolls, shirts, and posters to children that are appropriate for the walls of an adult DVD store.

It just feels like it may have gone too far.

The religion that came to define our civilization was anything but a codification of tribal or community standards. Christianity was a bizarre Oriental cult to our Classical ancestors.

I meant Judaism and such.
