Governor Bev Perdue said it made us look like Mississippi. It is time that these 30 states with this amendment go before the Supreme Court and have it overturned. It was a sad day for North Carolina. But then the Republican candidate in my district, Rouzer, for the US Congress kept quoting Jesse Helms!Uncutplushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456398466578990531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-80475225184326709952012-05-07T23:35:08.049-04:002012-05-07T23:35:08.049-04:00I live in NC and I see this amendment passing tomo...I live in NC and I see this amendment passing tomorrow. The rural churches are cranking up their buses to get their parishioners to the polls to vote FOR the marriage amendment. The church signboards on the backroads, with their little Pentecostal, Church of God and of course Baptist, are all proclaiming the need to "save marriage." Many prominent people in the state, and even Bill Clinton, have come out to oppose, the amendment is poorly written and will negate civil unions, threaten child support and medical care for children of unwed parents, and do other stuff (same-sex marriage is already against the law in NC!), but I feel sure it will pass anyway. Looking at your map showing the southeast states which already have voted, I don't see how NC can avoid the trend. Fear: that's what the simple- and narrow-minded are acting on. It's a sad reflection on Christians, since Jesus said Exactly Nothing about homosexuality--beyond "love thy neighbor." Oh, and there was that teaching about seeing the mote in your neighbor's eye when you can't see the beam in your own....brotherdochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597543573448439126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-15403170594704419812012-05-06T23:31:11.563-04:002012-05-06T23:31:11.563-04:00Joe: There are many churches doing wonderful thin...Joe: There are many churches doing wonderful things but there also are some self-serving ones as well. It's unfortunate that faith can sometimes blind people to situations where they are being taken advantage of. I came across just such a news story recently:<br /><br />http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47307792/ns/us_news-the_new_york_times/t/family-feud-reveals-luxuries-largest-christian-tv-network/#.T6dBE-3BpKMfan of caseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-44693420870650799342012-05-06T18:13:39.630-04:002012-05-06T18:13:39.630-04:00The guy is a Christofacist, and should never be al...The guy is a Christofacist, and should never be allowed to be considered a preacher. What's really interesting is that it is illegal for a church to preach about politics (this was obstensively a rant on Amendment One) or they can lose their 501(c)3 status with the IRS. Wonder why the IRS NEVER seems to pursue these clowns?<br /><br />Peace <3<br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
