I probably don't support your cause. I most likely don't care. I support your right to do what makes you happy. I support your right to be free.
That may include a lot of things I don't give a rat's backside about.
You're Baptist, that's fine. I don't care if you leave me alone.
You're gay, that's fine. I don't care if you leave me alone.
You like to sky dive. I don't care. Don't fall on my house.
You don't want to eat meat? Fine, you are stupid, but that just means more for me.
You like to walk around in a wading pool full of Vaseline because you like the way it feels between your toes? Have fun, I don't care.
You want to burn a flag? that's your first amendment right. I will acknowledge and defend your right to political speech. I will not support your flag burning.
Despite people's rabid reactions, what other people do, does NOT really affect my life or my relationship with my wife or family nor does it "destroy society as we know it."
The sky has been falling ever since the first caveman proposed moving out of a cave and into a grass hut and the rest of the cave residents went crazy because they had "always lived in caves."
I hear that "gay marriage" has desecrated "heterosexual marriage." Please show me. If a cemetery is desecrated, then I can point to specific headstones and monuments in that cemetery and show evidence of that specific damage. Please show me a single heterosexual, Christian marriage where either party has decided, Wow, gays can marry now, I think I should get a divorce or cheat on my spouse.
You want to limit my freedom to enjoy my life because of your beliefs or preferences? That's when I start caring and will oppose you.
Don't pick my pocket. Don't break my arm. Keep your nose out of my life and I will ignore you in return.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
No.
Do unto others as they want you to do unto them. This usually means leave them alone and go about your business. Most people don't want to be done unto at all.
