For some reason you never hear that word spoken anymore especially the media. It is taboo.
You are correct. It certainly is not popular to talk openly about faith, morals and values....unless they conform to the worlds definitions of them.

I haven't done that for years now.
I rarely watch it either. I thought I would give the draft a shot. It was interesting for the first 3 or so rounds. After that, it seemed all they wanted to talk about was if Michael Sam would be drafted and they insinuated that if he was not it was because he was gay. Only a couple of times did I hear it mentioned it could be because of his talent. One guy mentioned that many scouts felt he would be an undrafted free agent before he came out. The rest kept playing up the fact that he was the first SEC Defensive player of the year to be drafted so late.

For the people aghast at others who do not support the gay agenda....
I am not pro gay. I do not support the gay lifestyle. I am a Christian and I do believe that it is a sin. However, I do not believe they should be treated any differently than any other sinner...myself included. They should not be harassed, mocked, or treated badly by anyone. No more so than any other person. As a Christian I have to remember that I am not perfect and have sin in my life, too. I want forgiveness and understanding just like everybody else.
I think MOST Christians bristle, because we feel like we are being harassed into accepting a lifestyle that is contrary to our beliefs. We are being mocked and made fun of for our own way of living while the world defends and protects the gay lifestyle. Seems pretty hypocritical.

Spent a lot of time on Mulat road as a kid at my aunt's house, down near the water. Good times.
Beautiful, sunny day.

Of course, we're all sinners. As Christians you acknowledge your sins and ask for forgiveness. This is why Jesus came, he bore the weight of our sins. It's one thing to sin and ask for forgiveness. It's quite another to say what God has deemed a sin is NOT a sin. You're calling God a liar. There will be no forgiveness for unrepentant sin. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." This preaching that homosexuality is normal as the way God created us is a LIE. No Christian will ever accept it. There is a segment of society who is trying to FORCE people to accept it as "enlightenment". What being do you think these people represent, some in ignorance, some knowingly?

A lot of people like myself still believe in family values and Christianity. It is sinful to be gay. That is not an opinion. It is a belief. I do not want my two young children watching the quare on tv. I am a firm believer in corporal punishment(schools and judicial system).I believe in prayer in schools.frick what everyone else thinks. Everyone worries so much about saying the wrong things so much till they are ashamed to say what they really believe.
Well stated and, you are exactly correct.

You need to watch a different channel. Try Fox News or The Blaze. They've still got their act together. Everyone else is just schilling for the minority - pushing far left wing socialist progressive agendas. And that is why we were all subjected to the overblown overhyped overboard display the final day of the draft.
My generation saw it coming a long time ago. There used to be a saying that applies, it is very apropos, and it goes like this:
In a nation where anything goes ... everything eventually will.

ESPN will, once again, be unwatchable leading up to the season.
That's been the case for 14 or so years now. The network sucks outside of the actual games and even those are starting to get bad.
It's not about sports and hasn't been for a long time and it's hard to take their analysis of anything seriously. Cowherd has kind of let the cat out of the bag on how things are done there.

Fox News and TheBlaze, huh? If by "having their act together" you mean "schilling for the Republicans," then yeah.
Some of us don't give a damn what others do in their private capacity. It's call respecting the rights of individuals to exercise their freedom. God forbid people are free to make their own decisions.
The left and right both want to control your lives in different manners. I prefer that both sides shut the frick up and leave me alone.

I don't give a shite that they kissed but the constant replaying of it by ESPN and news media plus the inappropriate cake bullshite was too far. I wouldn't like it at this point even if it was a girl.

It's fine for someone to not actively support a lifestyle/activity. They should be completely free to not take part or contribute to something. The problem is when they attempt to intervene in the lives of others, and thus force their views upon them.
As long as he doesn't cross that threshold, I wouldn't necessarily classify him as a bigot.
