Are there other Republican parents at your charter?

It seems you are the one who knows very little about your Jewish brothers and sisters.

Yours in peace, a Quaker.

Dude, you might as well not argue with this one poster. I'm the Presbyterian (USA) PP (a denomination which voted to allow same-sex marriages performed in the church in 2014--yay!), and also child of an ordained minister. However, I know that because I'm liberal and progressive, this poster would say that I'm not a "real" Christian.

Sorry, you're not a Christian, bigot. You want the label and to be a part of the group, so you can change miller oaks old Christian doctrine. You are an imposter. This is very simple and will never change for real Christians. Marriage is between men and women. You have free will so you do whatever you want. Our family will continue to live as Christians and treat all others with dignity. This is how a community survives. You don't have to like my beliefs, but you must treat me with courtesy, as I treat you. LGBT people are not exempt from that humane necessary conduct. You can hate Christians, Jews and Muslims all you want, but you owe us dignified treatment. Yes, I am a charter parent and will not be bullied by any group that demands I follow this secular un-Christian value set like a sheep in a herd. There are hundreds like me. DCUM is a haven for super liberal mobster like people who demand we all fall in lockstep with them or else, so you'll get a mouthful of this unbalanced mindset. Whatever! Ain't gonna change me.

Nothing will change you - not even logic or reason. Congratulations.

Somebody send a bulletin to the 63% of Mainline Protestants who support marriage equality - you're not Christians. Nor are the 56% of American Catholics who do.

Another bulletin to the denominations who formally embrace marriage equality - you are super duper not Christian. Also bigoted.

We all need to tell our kids that while they thought we were raising them as Christian we stand corrected.

It'll be difficult for tye Quakers to make this announcement in a timely fashion because meetings for worship are silent.

Uh-oh Word Salad has shown up! Conversation over! -Signed a Christian who respects all but believes marriage is between men and women. BTW- a poll doesn't change Christian doctrine. Jesus Christ does.

I've never understood why people say they don't believe in gay marriage. It's not freaking Santa Clause. It exists and welcome by most. Marriage in our country is a legal term of joining two individuals into a unio Lin recognized by their government. Just like an atheist can marry and be afforded same financial and property privileges, any two people (male or female) can do the same. Thank God the Supreme Court recognizes such.

You want license to tell Christian families what to believe- force Christian families regarding what to believe and it's just not gonna happen. We're too strong and have way too much class. -signed proud Christian charter parent (of which there are thousands).

You're welcome to believe the world is flat and other weird stuff like that - that's absolutely your right. You call that strength and class - I call that close-minded.

By the way, who is telling you what to believe?

Your comment is disrespectful towards Christian families. I'm not sure why you would mock our beliefs on an anonymous board. Be mindful when you reap the same attitude you've sewn. Karma.

Wait, Christians believe in Karma? lol

Good morning. You sound pretty spiritual to me. And you are right. My college roommate is an ordained Presbyterian minister who was not LGBT affirming when we are in school, met a and married a feminist classmate from Princeton Seminary, and became one of the most outspoken young pastors in favor of equality. He is one of my spiritual anchors and I love what he's shared about the denomination. It's a beautiful world where we all grow together.

Yours in an ironically combative morning mood, a Quaker who should probably go stick my head in a bucket of M&Ms to cleanse myself of this bizarre conversation.
