And this is the definition of the word RESPECT.
I know that Patrick and I disagree on this issue. I respect his opinion. And Bill's. And Boondawg's. Heck, I don't even DISAGREE with them if that's how THEY want to live their lives. But it is NOT how I want to live mine. It is contrary to my faith and my beliefs. I mean no harm to anyone but I will not be forced into acceptance of something that I believe to be wrong.

Yes, it is upsetting when that happens. There are two people in this thread who I like a lot, but who I refuse to debate this topic with. One of these people I had to state my reservations (about arguing) to in this thread, and the other person has fortunately seen fit to ignore my posts as I've ignored his.  It's tough when we don't see eye to eye with our friends, but it happens. At some point we have to decide in these situations if we wish to remain friends, but so far, I'd prefer to do that and leave the lines of communication open.

The only thing worse then the discrimination many of you would happily pracice is the utterly pathetic justification for it. I was going to get into how unchristian bigotry was and say things about Jesus was more about the golden rule then some OT laws in leviticus. Its not worth it. The haters will hate and wrap thier evil in god the lovers will love. What ever helps your "christians" sleep better at night justifying your bigotous discrimination then more power to you. Aperently you need the power in your life to want to control others with such vile means.

What's the difference between nonetheless & nevertheless?

John I need to address this because its very important. I do have something, in fact I have alot. And all that I have is by the "grace of god" to which I am thankful. If I had nothing but my life I'd still be at "his" divine mercey. I live a VERY different but similar life than you because I have this faith. Its not the same as yours because its mine and mine alone.
Now I'm not turning this into a religious discussion because I won't respond.. I am the sand spurr and I am a friend at the same time. It just depends on how you look at me. Either way... I am what I am until I am no more. Until such time, I am a free man living in a free country and I want it to always get better for everyone so they have the chance to enjoy their lives just they way I enjoy mine. And I do enjoy it through even the worst of times.
I want more and I ask for more. I may get it, I may not. but I will always always stretch and reach into the darkest areas if need be to find what I'm after regardless of laws or boundries set by you or anyone else. I may pay but it's my life I'm paying with. Thats ultimatly the price we all pay.
In that context....
If you have too much to loose you gain nothing.
