Oh, wait... You weren't talking about that intolerance?

Well, Target advertises on TV and they have huge advertisement displays in their stores. The others? All over the internet.

Maybe not you, but many, many people use the internet as their news source and buying guide...

Very well said. Some folks on here have very short memories or only remember what they are in favor of.

All this has to be blamed on that "BINARY" AI.

My wife told me this morning that she is no longer to be referred to as overweight. She now identifies as TRANS-Slender.

From Target's website for all the world to see, even children: PRIDE : Target

Check out the kiddie clothing, toys and more. I do not know how parents could block their children from viewing it.

The most basic Christian principle is What is the Golden Rule? - Biblical Meaning, Importance and Examples

Talt........we agree A LOT, but I believe your "Bible reference" is incomplete.

1) "Golden Rule" is not explicitly found in Scripture.

2) This became the popular way of referring to the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:12.

3) Matthew 7:12 reads, "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." Second, even though the Golden Rule addresses human interpersonal relationships, its message is additionally theological. That is, the very character of God guides how we should interact and relate to one another.

It does not say, stand by and do nothing about the celebration of sin, the promotion of sin, the introduction of sin to children, to share sin agendas.

4) If a person condones sin, it means the person accepts, allows, and approves sin in their lives or in other people’s lives. While Christians are commanded not to judge others (Matthew 7:1), it does not mean Christians should condone sin.

A person’s sin separates them from God as the Bible says, “But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear” (Isaiah 59:2). If you condone sin in your own life, it will separate you from God. Even as believers, our sin can separate us from God.

Those are expressions of the Golden Rule.

I think you have it backwards..................The Golden Rule is an expression of pieces of the Bible.

You can't take pieces, must understand the interrelationship of verses.

Cherry picking or reading headlines is not the way to understand.

Paul Harvey comes to mind.

FOX is not about hate; FOX is about facts. The hate is coming from some of the fringe groups FOX is exposing for what they are.

The Bible was written over hundreds of years. There are estimates of 1500-1600 years. There are only parts except for the Gospels which do contain the actual words used by Jesus Christ.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

The Bible is God's Word.

The Trinity, three separate but one..............kinda pulls it all together as one.


Are we off track???

My point was The Golden Rule is not God's word..............it's a man made term.


I'm not judging the sinners, I'm identifying them and not condoning them and don't want their views taught to minors and I don't want it thrown in my face every where I go and I don't want to support entities who support sinners actions/views openly.

The Bible is a product of maybe 40 or more writers. Probably more if you count the books left out of it. Christ's words are in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Usually printed in red ink.
