So I suppose there really isn't anything left to say. I just personally choose to believe that I am not the result of some chance accident.

I have no problem with you believing that as long as your religious beliefs are not forced upon me via the Ten Commandments in courthouses, "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, and religious fundamentalists on the United States Supreme Court.

Well, you do. Surely you must realize that the mere name "Christian Nation" implies you must be one to be part of it, which takes away the freeedom you are touting without basis. Can you not see that?

WHY JASON? I don't understand why you are so interested in what I believe. You can't stand me...you never have! Why is it so important? Just brush me off as a naive little boy and be done with it.

Once in 7th grade, they wanted my whole music class to go around singing Christmas carols. I was like "Yeah....you guys have fun with that. If you think I'm going to sing ****ty songs in random classrooms, you're mistaken." They didn't make me do it.

I guess I'm just no fun around Christmas. Ya know, if you're the "Lets sing a be merry, y'all!" type.

we used to carol in our neighborhood when i was a kid & people would give us money

He just cannot go there. It is all part of the Christian Nation ideal he clings to and which he thinks he is a part. I say this factually and without derision.

How is the Ten Commandments in a courthouse forcing you to believe anything? And I don't think you are forced to say the pledge either?

But I don't want to make this a political discussion...PLEASE! I'm trying to stay away from that.

You don't know anything about me Jason. You are proving to be an individual with some agenda out to "get that Brandon boy"...I can't say for sure because there is no way to tell your tone, but that is the way it seems...

If I am so uniformed then just let it go...

I am an idiot and I don't know anything...is that better?

Then stop saying you think everyone should have a choice when you actions belie the veracity of that statement. In other words, while you may on some level think it is all about personal choice, your actions in no way support that false thought.

You seemingly want to say things like that and then want everyone to go "ahhhh isn't that nice - he is so open minded" - I think you will find people are fonder of the truth than being mere placaters to some false notion you have. They will be this way because you have no right to tell me how to live my life if i am not hurting anyone.
