I think to some degree it’s the same reason women wear stiletto heels with jeans: substituting substance with style ( I drive a big ol’ pick-up; don’t need no dead animals to prove…whatever.)
Truly, no offense was taken. I’ve seen your posts and was pretty sure you misunderstood me. And I thoroughly understand the “correctness” trigger! It’s really sad; when I was raised being “correct” meant you were behaving well. Today, it means all the awful predictions about the future are here. So, peace and no problems here! :-)
While your “Happy?” was offensive (if my take on it is correct), I will not take offense because you misunderstood my meaning. It is absolutely 100% true that there is no “god-given right to enact hatred, bigotry and discrimination.” They are the antithesis of Godly. I merely meant that we are all entitled to hold our own beliefs and are obligated to allow others to do the same. And yes, I agree that the ability to do may well be sadly threatened by recent events. But we were told that being Godly would not be easy.
Is there a soundtrack available, Mr. D?
