One last thing-- this needs to be put out there-- morality & Christianity are not one and the same.
Tolerance, with respect to the dems, gays, and others who want to advance their cause is a one way street. Those who want me to be tolerant have no tolerance for me and my beliefs.
Faithful Catholics, and many more from the other mainstream faiths are now the persecuted simply because we want to be left alone and celebrate our religious freedoms without having social engineering and practices that we do not support forced upon us.
I must be the one that changes.
Morality is not subjective. Morality is objective.
There are immoral christians. It is called sin. I am and have been guilty. I can't change my nature. All I can do is trust in my Savior's Mercy.
Trust me. I am tolerant. I am not judgemental. I work with flaming gays. I have to to keep my job. I am a mid level manager in a fortune 250 company. "Diversity" and "Tolerance" is a daily requirement. I live and work in a secular world. I have no issue with this. I know how the world works. I have seen it. I have spent time at the gates of the biggest abortion mill in the world right in downtown Houston and prayed for the babies that were being (and still are) being slaughtered and mothers that were being butchered. The planned parenthood babykillers will have you arrested if you step off the sidewalk onto the grass. In case you do not know, an arrest today is a federal crime the same as if you were a gangster pimping women or selling drugs, just for trying to save babies.
I do understand.
This is why I refuse to concede to changing my core beliefs. You see, there really is not a political party that has my core beliefs, so I have already made concessions.

I agree 100%
The times make it harder and harder to remain steadfast, but I for one will not fold on my beliefs and my faith.
