I agree with Drew. It is pointless for us to back "moral" causes in themselves or to flaunt pride in being "moral" It's one thing to speak up against wrongdoing and to take a stand for Biblical principles, quite another to belittle ourselves to such things as this. Perhaps our time and money would be better spent promoting the Gospel.

Point well taken. This is the best response I've seen on three different boards. ![[thumbsup2]](graemlins/thumbsup2.gif)

That's a very good point, Drew. 'Nuff said!
(Dan, I couldn't bring up the other board last night either. But it's there this morning.)

Maybe you're right, Gary. Maybe I ought to let it die a slow and natural death. But it's so strange I can't even goad anyone into commenting on it. If you look at the results, though, no one wants to buy the bumper sticker! I'll leave it alone for a few days.
(BTW, I can't call up that "other" board tonight.)

Boy, I dunno Dan.
I looked at it over on our other BBS, and chose to ignore it.
If I ignore it here maybe it will go away?
I couldn't take it seriously.
Pride, it says. It's all about pride. As a Christian, all I can think of is that the Bible says "Pride goeth before a fall."
Whatever.

Must be a scary subject - people are afraid to take the poll anonymously much less talk about it.
As for me, I'm considering buying a bumper sticker and t-shirt so I can display it at Paramount's Kings Island on their "gay-day."
