First of all, let's be clear: Parents who do this do so because of the social consequences a fay child brings for THEM.

It appears your comment hit home for a few folks

If I'm ever that hyper-concerned about my social image, fricking shoot me.

Everything I saw said people were likely to vote yes on the lottery. What exactly are you angry about? The fact that he believes, like most Christians, that gambling is wrong and the state shouldn't endorse it? I also agree with that view, I just think everyone who is going to play the lottery from our state is already going the one of our border states to do it. It no longer makes sense not to have one from a government standpoint.

You don't understand what the word "endorse" means, do you? Logically you must think that God endorses sin since He gives people free will to do so.

Well, its a good thing I used the original Hebrew words for abomination, and reprobate mind then isn't it? Therefore, none of that washing you talked about was involved

For your edification:

tow`ebah (abomination) - a disgusting thing, detestable act, loathsome

adokimos (reprobate mind) - unapproved, rejected, worthless (literally or morally), castaway

Stick to what you know, because on this subject you are guessing

Just read this entire thread. There are some angry people on this board

A lot of you atheists look at this issue in a very warped way and are completely unable to be objective. You operate and argue completely under the premise that the Bible is incorrect/not actual word of God and then attribute that same assumption to others...aka Rick and other Christians use the Bible as justification to be mean. Newsflash: Rick is a believer and believes that the Bible is the word of his creator.

Ive listened to Rick and Bubba on and off for years. Ive never once heard Rick say anything about Brandi being gay or heard him say anything negative about Brandi. I have Rick multiple times talk about how he is imperfect. Hes been very candid about his past failings and to make the assertion that he presents himself as a holier than thou person is simply not true.

Rick isnt perfect and he would never claim he was. I do truly believe that whatever Rick did was out of love for his daughter to try and turn her from sin because according to the word, she is living in openly unrepentant sin. My dad isnt perfect either and im sure none on this board have perfect parents. How many of us have publicly trashed them? That makes me question the truthfulness of her article.

I see lots of "tolerant" leftists in this thread that are quick to condemn Rick, despite having never listened to him or getting the entire story. How many of you are perfect and have never hurt someone else?

Ok then, link your facebook or linked-in. Surely you will have no problem doing so since you and not concerned about your social image

How does one "endorse" a specific bill? Him simply speaking out against it would be endorsing the opposition. Do you just have an issue with him using that specific word?

I'm still not sure what you're wanting. I don't like it when celebrities get political either, but you seem specifically angry about this guy on radio. I'm sure he's not the only radio personality in Alabama who had an opinion about the lottery. Would you be mad at him if he'd "endorsed" the lottery bill?

and you and ricky boy conveniently skip over the numerous other abominations and focus on just the one that you feel is the most detrimental to your life/civilization ...

First, I am a professed Believer. I also think the Church can have difficulties in attempting to show God's Grace in many areas, especially when confronting sin within the Body. I also believe that many times others assume this failure always comes from a position of hate for the person. Obviously, it does happen as even as Believers we realize we will fail and must rely on God's Grace.

When literally EVERYONE you know and regularly associate with believes being gay is both a sin and a sign of failed parenting, people will often choose preservation of their social status than their relationship with their child.

I am certain what you are describing does happen. But I think that assuming this is always the case is also incorrect.

I don't think any of us think we are going to change someone's opinion on this forum. These "discussions" quickly evolve into each group further entrenching themselves and often just trying to spin an argument or become witty.

FWIW, I believe the Church is called to show God's grace to all as we all have been and will continue to be sinners. I also believe that God calls us to address sin in our own lives as well as our "neighbors" but without passing judgement on them. Get them to Church as they are, show love, compassion and grace and then let God handle everything else.

Also, coming from my worldview, I understand having questions about God. It is obvious that you are an intelligent and thoughtful person and could provide arguments I could never counter. I have had many of the same questions probably. I have accepted that it really does take faith to believe and have chosen to do so. (I think faith is required for any creation belief). I hope you continue to use the open mind which brought you the agnostic/atheist position and I hope someone much smarter than myself can use that open mind to return you to a position of Belief.



And I still don't care for A&M and especially Manziel.

We had a guy earlier in this thread who was angry about Rick Burgess coming out against gambling, yet you still posted this...

Take this shite up with your dad, not me or anyone else that is not involved in your life.
