It genuinely saddens me to see people lost in sin and self-deception. I have no joy in "owning" them or putting them down, nor do I believe this accomplishes anything good.
OTOH, we cannot simply step back & never speak truth for fear of offense.
@frandalorian@Harrystwaddle@cremieuxrecueil I'm not saying "gay people don't exist, I'm not even arguing for Sodomy laws. I'm simply saying that same sex relationships should not be recognized as marriages, for the simple reason that they do not meet the objective definition of marriage.
@frandalorian@cremieuxrecueil 1) The constitution itself doesn't address marriage
2) The Constitution's protects minority *rights*, & marriage is not a right
3) Our law & gov is premised on recognizing & securing existing rights
4) Marriage (1M+1W) pre-exists gov & should be recognized, not defined, by it
@DarinBass4@SeahawkNerd All of those guys have always been in far better situations than Darnold with Jets/Panthers.
And I'm not even saying Darnold is as good as any of those guys, but their situations are certainly better.
@DarinBass4@SeahawkNerd Darnold was in bad situations with the dumpster fire Jets & even CAR. SF, MIN, & finally SEA finally gave him good situations to succeed in.
I'd say peak Russ was overall better, but Sam is often better in the timing of the play, & at hanging in & making passes under pressure.
@DarinBass4@SeahawkNerd Most of last year's stars return, excluding Walker. And while Russ had a particular magic to him, Darnold is very talented himself, and there are things he can do better than Russ.
@PhilGarber5@EWErickson I mean, he was already a target of their's, so 🤷♂️.
And whatever disagreements I have with Trump, he doesn't head a terrorist state or regime.
@PhilGarber5@EWErickson Give me a break, if you're the leader of a terror state intent on not only acquiring, but also potentially using, a nuclear weapon, then yeah, you're definitely a valid military target.
@PhilGarber5@EWErickson I mean, that's war, not negotiation, and I supported Trump doing that. The hemming and hawing the last month hasn't been great.
@EWErickson I think now is the best time to take out Iran's nuclear capabilities, even if it requires a ground invasion. Israel will obviously support us in that, but can we get any support from other ME countries? (I don't see European allies being much help at this point).
@EWErickson I don't think Trump realizes that you can't negotiate with the Iranian leadership in the same way you can pretty much any businessman.
Time & pressure won't change anything, we need to either find a way to keep pressing militarily, or get the best terms Iran gives us & leave.
@DPGBehler I mean, 186g of sugar is a LOT of sugar for just one drink (and I kind of like sweet drinks). Like most of the sweetest coffee drinks you can get out are half that. It's as much sugar as a 56 oz Coke/Pepsi
That said, using mg (when nobody uses mg for sugar) is just for attention
@robsmithonline@RepOgles The thing is, marriage has a definition: 1M+1W.
This is a fact of nature, not something we can choose to define as we like.
As such, it is good when government recognizes these facts of nature, instituted & given by God.
After all, that is the foundation of our national creed.
Mike Pence has made mistake- he's not perfect- but he may be one of the best & most principled conservatives to hold office in recent years.
And yet, he widely maligned on the right.
It’s depressing that every time Mike Pence posts, the replies fill with cries of “traitor!” and “you failed the biggest test!”
You don’t have to like the man. But he isn’t a traitor. When the Constitution was put to the test, he upheld it.
You’re just a clown and a cultist.
@DT_Giordano I kind of thought the same thing for a long time... before looking up that, officially, Cloud City is over ~1,100 light years away. You ain't getting there at sub-light speeds.
@aprilajoyr Calling homosexuality/ transgenderism sin has nothing to do with MAGA, it has to do with what God says through His Word, the Bible (and reveals through His natural design).
@MichaelFKane@jwsherrod My best explanation is that, since the Tantive IV couldn't escape at the beginning of ANH, it was better to capture the ship and see if they could extract any additional info about the rebellion from crew/passengers (as they tried to with Leia).
@EWErickson Based on the way he was talked about, until a couple days ago, I had assumed he was already the Maine Dem nominee. Paxton at least had some pushback during the primary, but I've seen none for Planter.
