    Everyone who follows this board knows that I am a Christian. Guys like this idiot are why I don't go to church.

    So you're not in favor of gay rights?

    Can't speak specific to this video yet, since the city blocks us employees from You-Tube, although I might be able to search our city site for it, but have other things catch up on after our weekend band trip (12th out of 58 bands with a trip to finals where we stayed in 12th), but guessing from Scott's reaction, I'm guessing this guy is not in favor of the addition. But it is to be expected, and I'm sorry to say typical for this part of the state, (I hope I'm guessing right on this guy's comment, might see an edit from me later). After all we have still kept Congressman Aiken competitive in his race against Senator McCaskill.

    I did have to laugh Saturday morning while getting ready, I was watching MSNBC and they thought there might be a possibility of the Senate race changing the outcome of how the state will vote in the presidential race, it's not happening, heck I've got neighbors that still believe the president is Muslim. Romney will win here, along with maybe McCaskill.

    Scotty, you have to watch the video to get the point. You either didn't or it went over your head. It's actually a very CHRISTIAN message

    I did not listen to the whole thing. I am too old and too tired of listening to hate to hang in there for three minutes. You should have given me a heads up. I don't give haters more than 30 seconds any more.

    Scott...

    Here's a heads up... watch the whole clip, as it takes an interesting turn.

    Good call Red!

    How about we get the govt out of marriage all together?

    The more we direct our govt toward "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" and out of our every day lives, the better.

    Also, I don't pay much attention to anything a guys says who introduces himself as "Reverend Doctor ____"

    A Bible verse comes to mind that ends "and such were some of you. But" Full context on that verse would start in verse 9 and go through 17 but you can get the idea if you read 9-11. I just throw that in there for those who may want clarification on what the Bible says so that they can be informed on both sides of the issue.

    After watching the whole clip have to say thanks to Red for posting that. Funny how there wasn't anything said I don't think in the local paper or on the news, (although I don't watch the news and read the paper everyday). Glad to see there are some voices of reason around the area.

    The funny thing is, there are probably plenty of people around here who wouldn't mind sticking in the segregation argument back into the dialogue as well.

    There was a story in the paper on Tuesday about how this clip went viral.
