Costco Labels Bible as Fiction

Not quite sure why being an atheist would make me an Obama supporter. I am a libertarian so I don't fall on to either team. I think they are both full of shit.

no other reason than your hard core atheist demographic usually trend liberal. I doubt you find many fundamentalist Christians within the ACLU. I don't think it's a stretch to imagin that.Not quite sure why being an atheist would make me an Obama supporter. I am a libertarian so I don't fall on to either team. I think they are both full of shit.
a couple of my go to examples are as follows:. The upstate New York Fire Department that was sued by the ACLU for having a Christmas tree at the firehouse. Some asshole called and filed suit because he could see it through the window and it offended him. Example: number 2 big expensive court battle near here in Stow Ohio because some jerk off decided he was offended that the seal of the city had a book on it that he assumed was the Bible. Since we hear stories similar to that nearly every day around this time of the season it's not a big leap to assume that some people are anti Christian and Christmas. It's these kind of ridiculous actions that make Christians and non-christians, like myself, I think that the atheist and ACLU are largely a bunch of dicks.

I can definitely see your point. I fall in the "leave me the fuck alone and I will do the same for you" camp on just about everything. I know there are a lot of atheists who make it their life goal to rid the world of religion, not taking into account that they are being tyrannical dickheads. However, I think the stories pick up around Christmas time because it sells better. Around July 4th we get inundated with stories about home owners associations bitching about U.S. flags that are "too large" in their communities. Why? Because it is near a patriotic holiday and the story will cause an uproar.
The ACLU generally can eat a dick. I am very pro-gun (CCW instructor) with tax stamp goodies. The ACLU does not consider the right to bear arms a civil liberty so they can piss up a rope.

I tend to agree...

Well the War on Christmas stories are going to naturally come up more around, well, Christmas. That's when everybody's out suing everybody about nativity scenes and so forth. I don't have a CCW but I keep thinking of taking the course. The guys I knew from the NRA when I was a boy scout eight thousand years ago were among the biggest pains in the ass about gun safety one could hope to meet.
I would always rather grandma have a pistol and know how to use it.
As for Christianity if it gives some one peace great.

Okay, I agree. You're a CCW instructor? COOL ! I have my license, since you're new. But I think Woody won't be happy
that you're here, now.
Yeah, more and more folks are becoming that "Leave me the f alone, and I'll leave you alone". Which is weird, that
there are groups and gov agencies who are going to the courts to try to enforce their control on everybody else.
You must recognize gay marriages, and bake them a cake, for example. You must pay Obamaocare taxes
and fines, one way, or the other, and lose your insurance and you can't really keep it and your doctor and all like
they lied that you could. And Columbia gas, in Ohio, is suing a lot of famers, somewhere around 2000 acres,
for the rights to drill on their property...BY EMMINENT DOMAIN., after they wouldn't sign contracts with them.
The attitudes against owning guns, and all. Even trucks and SUV's that libs used to rail on, until that
ploy fell flat. It never ends. Some want licenses to drive farm equipment... ON THEIR OWN Land. And, on
our farm, at least here in Ohio, you cannot ride your ATV on your own farm with your loaded gun, concealed, or not,
without a CCW license. That, I don't mind. And I don't mind having to get a CCW. But really, it never ends.
Freedom for all, smaller gov, stop the runaway fed deficit...

I think it's more 'treat me how you want to be treated' when it comes to gay marriage at least. Gay people, I'm sure, will leave you the fuck alone, in terms of anything related to being gay. They just want to equally be left alone to love and shag whoever they want, what happens between consenting adults is basically fine. Except that one time two people met up on the internet and one ate the other. That's...less fine.

Law abiding gun owners should not be penalised for the actions of idiots with guns. Punishing the many for the mistakes of the few is never a good solution. What I personally would like to see, however, is a society in which people don't feel the need to sleep with a gun by their bed. Once we reach that point, gun control will be moot, since it would only be used for recreational purposes and as such could be kept safely at a place for said recreation.
Or is that just crazy talk?

And for those paying attention, 'moot' appears to be my word of the day.

Utopia sounds nice but it only works on paper. Even if murder dropped to 10 people a year, I would still want a firearm in my home. I don't want to be 1 of 10.

I think government should be out of the marriage business all together. It is a religious ceremony. Let everyone who is of consenting age be able to choose to join in a legally binding union. If they choose to have a religious ceremony to celebrate the occasion than so be it.

Well that all depends on your interpretation of marriage. Marriage in itself is a legal contract binding two parties together, which can be celebrated with a ceremony, religious or otherwise. Nobody should be forcing religious institutions to allow gay people to be married therein, that would just be PC nonsense.

Crazy talk, Chris... there will always be those who will assault/murder/rape/pillage. Always hsa been. And folks
should be allowed to keep their guns in any society, to be responsible for their own safety. The police just can't
be there in three minutes, as some murderer breaks into your house and comes after you. It's reality. But more
than anything else, the idea that Americans' guns should be kept safely somewhere? Now, come on. When I killed
a big coyote that apparently kept coming back, and stalking our field, within 20' of my Wifie on our tractor...
I'm supposed to go downtown to some "safe" place, and fill out some paperwork, pay some stupid fee, and
wait three days to get my "recreational" gun back, to protect her? Naw. Guns are a great thing, and a bad thing,
depending on whose hands they are in. Same thing for cars and knives, and m-80's, and gasoline, and candlesticks,
baseball bats.....
Same thing for being in our woods during deer season, and some nutjob was screaming at me from 50' feet away, because we
don't allow hunting on our beautiful property...(we have the ancient orchard and huge oaks, and our 2 3 acre wetlands)..
near the border of our property, that he was going to shoot a deer right next to my head. I was just sitting out there, and only got up, and he saw me,
just before dark. That's reality. And I have my ccw license on the advice of the game warden, and sheriff deputy.

I don't think its religious in nature at all, hence the outrage. It is, of course, a set of legal restrictions requirements penalties and perks.
In the light of the strict legal translation and original intent the institution has officially outlived its usefulness.
Not that I necessarily celebrate that particular, uh, improvement in society but it is what it is.

Why?
You and cal are such a cute couple! You two should get married, force people to recognize it and bake you a cake, to boot.

Gays are an aberration. That is why the majority of people don't want to recognize their lifestyle. No one thinks a guy should be able to marry a horse. I don't agree, I think gays should be allowed to marry, but I understand the point of view.

Polls in 2013
A September Quinnipiac University poll found that 56% of American adults and 57% of registered voters supported same-sex marriage. Only 36% of both groups were opposed.[13]
A July 10–14 poll by Gallup found support for gay marriage at 54%, a record high, and double the support of 27% Gallup first measured when the question was asked in 1996.[14]
A July poll by USA Today found that 55% of Americans supported gay marriage while 40% did not.[15]
A May 9 Washington Post-ABC News poll found that 55% of Americans supported gay marriage while 40% did not.[16]
A March 20–24 CBS News Poll found that 53% of Americans supported same-sex marriage, 39% opposed it, and 8% were undecided.[17] The same poll also found that 33% of Americans who thought same-sex couples should be allowed to legally marry said they once held the opposite view and had changed their opinion.
A March 7–10 Washington Post-ABC News[18] poll found that 58% of Americans support same-sex marriage while 36% opposed. The poll indicated that 52% of GOP-leaning independents under 50 years old supported gay marriage.[19]
A March Quinnipiac University poll of voters found 47% supported same-sex marriage and 43% were opposed.[20]

Americans don't begin to count toward the majority of people. Ask middle easterners and Africans how they feel about gays
