I had to laugh at one fellows comment on an article about Dustin McDaniel rejecting a medical marijuana ballot proposal due to 'unclear wording' (his catch all excuse - seriously, what's up with this dude?)
Anyway, one man posted:
Welcome to Arkansas! You can't puff pot, but it's okay to puff a peter!
Sorry (not really) but I just had to laugh.

imposing my "religion" is not something I have ever done, by legislation or otherwise. But to remain silent when something I believe is absolutely wrong and condemning makes me a hypocrite.

where does it say its wrong? Law? PC community? Who?
We all live on this earth and have our own values, where in your values does it dictate that this is wrong?

laws can be appealed, protested, and changed. So for you to be on your horse to tell someone they are wrong is well.....you might be able to figure that one out, pardna.

Morality transcends (or should) 'religion'. Yes, most all religions teach 'moral' conduct, but we shouldn't have to have 'religion' to want to live by 'moral' standards.
If 'religion' is the source of 'morality', then you are saying 'lack of religion' equates to 'immorality'.
You don't have to link 'morality' and 'religion'.
'Religion' is just a convenient scapegoat when immoral people want to shift their guilt to someone else.

Dude, yes it does... To believe something completely in fullness and remain silent...

WOWZA... Philosophy 101 must be ruining your Disney frame of mind...
noun
1.
a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.
2.
a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.
Origin:
1175–1225; Middle English ipocrite < Old French < Late Latin hypocrita < Greek hypokrit?s a stage actor, hence one who pretends to be what he is not, equivalent to hypokri´ ( nesthai ) (see hypocrisy) + -tes agent suffix
To be a hypocrite, you must say you believe one thing, but act in a way that contradicts your belief.
If you say you believe that homosexuality is wrong, and then you have gay sex, you are a hypocrite.
What you're talking about does not fit the definition.
And LOL at your Philosophy 101 jab. You should master your native language before trashing someone's logic.

Isn't it kind of hypocritical to tell someone their beliefs are wrong and/or bigotry, yet you try to force on them what you believe?
