Arella Mae, I'm going to take the time to list exactly what you've said in this thread that shows you are imposing your beliefs on everyone with your every vote.
I am not going to say you are the only one doing it, because your not. Atheists do it, Muslims do it, I do it, etc.
I will no longer allow you to claim that you DO NOT impose your beliefs anymore without challenging you each and every time with this post.
This post will prove for the last time that you unapologetically impose your beliefs on everyone with your vote. You will no longer be able to claim otherwise and I encourage everyone to bookmark this post and call her out on it every time because it is getting crazy in here.
Here you claim that you will vote against something if it is wrong in the eyes of God, as explained in the Christian Bible.

Quote:If God said something is wrong there is a reason for it. He didn't just make rules arbitrarily. The rules He made were for our benefit, though many don't see them that way I know. I will not compromise my beliefs, Phoenix, not that anyone is asking me to. But if I believe something is wrong in the eyes of God because the Bible says it is well, then I am going to vote against it every time.
Here you are stating that my life is mine and between me and God, implying that you don't care what I do.

Quote:Your life is yours and between you and God or whoever you determine it is between. My life is mine and is between me and God.
Here you are stating again that my life is my own and you don't care what I do, and it's none of your business, not going to judge, etc.

Quote:It's none of my business. I am not going to judge you. It is merely a choice you have made for your life just as you or anyone else would make any other choice.
Here you are stating that you only think your choices are right for you, and apparently only for you because you put it in caps.

Quote:However, it still doesn't make me superior to you or anyone else on the face of the planet. I made the choice that was right for ME.
Here is where it really starts to get interesting. You say it is not your place to decide if your morals are better than mine.

Quote:We may have different morals but I don't recall saying mine were better than yours or anyone else's. That's not my place nor within my authority to decide that. God makes those decisions, not me.
Here is where you start stating OVER AND OVER that you have a right to impose your beliefs on everyone by voting for your religious beliefs.

Quote:I vote my conscience the way I think is right and that is all I can do.... If I think something is wrong I am not going to vote for it just so someone else can enage in it if they decide to.
Quote:But if we voted that way all the time Phoenix, we would have no laws to protect us soon. Everything and anything would be acceptable because "I didn't have the right to impose what I wanted on anyone else." We'd destroy ourselves much quicker.

Quote:Why is it so hard for you and others to accept that you do the very same thing when you vote? You vote for what you think is right, correct? How is that any different than I or anyone else votes?
Here you again state that it is your LEGAL RIGHT to impose your beliefs on others for whatever reason you deem worthy.

Quote:My question is this: I am exercising my legal rights in this situation and yet you seem to think that should be taken away from me. I view this differently than you do. I am different than you. You accuse me of "bashing" gays and homosexuals because I believe it is wrong in the eyes of God. Don't you feel that my views are wrong (whether in your eyes or God's eyes?) So, how does that make us different, Lash? Why is it ok for you to "bash" me with words because I would vote a certain way on something? Aren't you doing the exact same thing you are accusing me of doing?
Here you start backtracking about your religious beliefs being a personal choice and that things cannot be forced upon them. Pretty odd statement given your previous ones.

Quote:Now, would I like to see everyone a Christian? Of course, because I feel that is is a wonderful thing, but it is every INDIVIDUAL'S CHOICE, not everyone feels as I do and that is their God-given and constitutional right. It cannot be forced upon anyone to accept it even if it was a law!
Again, you reference your legal right to impose your views on to others.

Quote:If you vote no and I vote yes then we are each imposing our views on the other one. We have the same right.
Here you refer back to how your vote is based on god's laws.

Quote:I am supposed to obey the laws of the land as long as they do not conflict with God's laws. Like I said, I know of no law that forces me to engage in something I feel is wrong.
Here you admit that even if casino's are legal, they do not violate your god's laws because you don't have to engage in the activity. A very good point you made (and later retracted).

Quote:My reasoning is just as I have stated. I vote for the things that I think are right and I vote against the things I think are wrong. If I think they are wrong then I am wrong in voting for them.
Here is where you retract from your statement about how others violating god's laws don't affect you. It also points out that you believe that regardless of what other men want, you will vote for what god wants.

Quote:is if I believe something is wrong then I won't vote for it. To me, God's word is the ultimate authority so I am going to accept that over the wants of man any day.
Here you talk about how if someone want's to practice a religion that is their choice, but it is also apparently your choice as you try to make your god's laws into their law.

About here I got to page 55 and was extremely bored of this so I'm going to stop as I believe that I've shown plenty that shows how you are imposing your religious beliefs on society based on your votes.
I may decide to go through the other 40 pages to add to this later.
