EDIT: I stand corrected, I did once address another post on my blog to a specific person. That mainly started as responding to his post about me, where I didn't want to do such a lengthy comment so I put it here on my blog. Then within a week or so, because I don't like the idea of doing entires aimed at specific people in the first place, I deleted it and went about my merry way and completely forgot about it until the person's name showed up in the comments on this entry. So now I've fixed this entry and everyone is free to decide for themselves whether I lied about that or simply forgot about it - I really don't care because there are more important things to deal with.
Everyone was right, if you don't agree with mtngirlsouth it doesn't matter how damn civil you are to her, she will block you - apparently she thinks by blocking you and ignoring the debate she won. I managed to copy and paste her last response to me, but was unable to post my response back to her because like the child she is she blocked me - so here it is.
Her to Me:
@Melissa___Dawn - There we have it. I don't want to "call marriage a "civil union" for everyone but Christians". I want to call it a civil union for EVERYONE. Leave marriage as a sacred religious covenant. Keep the government out of religion, and vice versa. I also take issue with this CRAP about "I agreed with the other commenter on here that they are not issues, you just like to think they are." The fact that you only think it is an issue when you agree with it says a lot about YOU. People not being allowed free speech, the Bible being declared "hate speech" certainly are real issues. Mayers wanting to disallow certain businesses because of the CEO's religious beliefs are a REAL issue. If you refuse to acknowledge that, you are just being dishonest. And this is the very reason why people who think like me cannot have any kind of discussion with people who think like you. You are NOT interested in equality or liberty for ALL people. YOU are only interested in those with whom you agree.
Which makes me think that what you really do want is to have the authority to throw us in jail, or an insane asylum. To make the Bible an illegal book. And since I have already stated clearly that I do not want two standards, but ONE for ALL that LEAVES my religion OUT of it, and yet you also ignore that, after this you shall be blocked. You have only succeeded in proving that you do not care about actual equality, are not interested in the rights and liberties of ALL people, and are perfectly happy to ignore anything that does not coincide with your imagined reality. Goodbye.
My Response (that she won't see because she's afraid to face reality):
@mtngirlsouth - You just made yourself look like a complete fool. First of all, I already stated why the government isn't going to get out of "marriage". Second, even if it went that way, and Christians applied for and received both marriage and civil union certificates - that pretty much sums up exactly what I said would happen with keeping all non-Christians and gay Christians as second-class citizens. I agreed with the other commenter and did not respond because he already pointed out the flaws - do you really need it repeated again and again? I don't think so, 'cause you aren't going to see it that way and you will continue to agree with your own group. I agreed with him because HE WAS RIGHT. I've said multiple times that I do NOT agree with mayors being allowed to ban businesses because of their beliefs - and the fact of the matter is they aren't allowed to do that and if they tried the courts would step in and stop it. You can't just assume they won't and therefore halt all progress in this country. I don't give a rat's ass who agrees with me or not - law, especially constitutional law, is my passion and I very much agree with equal rights for all Americans.
As to your second paragraph, you have got to be kidding me! You took me wanting equality for everyone to mean that I want to jail Christians or lock them up in insane asylums and ban the Bible?!?!? So now to want equal marriage rights for homosexuals is the same thing as wanting to ban Christianity?!? I don't want to do that, I don't care what you believe as long as you don't force me to believe the same thing by turning it into legislation everyone in this country must agree with. I don't want to jail you or put you in an insane asylum, but I do think you might benefit from a few psychotropic medications because if that is what you got out of what I said you are delusional. And you just proved what I've seen many others say about you - YOU are the one who cannot handle having anyone disagree with you and as soon as you're losing - you block them. For the record, failure to acknowledge the issue/debate does not mean you won.
If anyone else still has access to her site and could copy and paste our entire exchange and email it to me at: melissadawn.dawn@gmail.com I would greatly appreciate it as I would love for all of it to be available here for everyone to make their own decision on the situation.
