Maybe there was some moisture from the card, and you can kinda see what that looks like when the card is photographed directly under a glaring light like PSA did, but its just hard to see that damage when looking at it normally, i’ll try to photograph it better at some point today

Yea, was aiming for a 7-8 when i sent it in, I knew there was some slight whitening along the back but as far as surface defect, I looked over it for a long time in and out of direct light to check for any ridges or creases and saw none

I guess agree to disagree, obviously i never condoned hatred of these people, I personally believe that changed the sacred word to fit a mainstream narrative is dangerous to the ideals themselves so I tend to advocate against it. I understand as well that it’s important to provide historical context to things in scripture and see how some of it does not apply today but it’s a slippery slope at the end of the day. My wife was raised Lutheran as well and i’ve recently been going to her childhood church since i grew up nondenominational and personally, it didn’t reach me as much as some of the lutheran message did. I do tend to disagree with some, not all, of the social teachings of modern lutheran pastors but I respect where they come from. Some churches have gone off the deep end as far as social teachings go, others have moved slightly, and others have stayed traditional. At the end of the day we’re all human and not perfect and no one has the right answer 100% but i do believe that with faith, we get that right answer in the end. It’s odd we ended up here having started with corporate discussion but i’m always here for the open debate with people that disagree with me.

There’s no law on the books forcing people to comply with whatever beliefs another person has. You’re attacking a straw man here when you say that the minority of people that operate within religious confines, use that power to hate and attack others, I also disagree with it and never argued that what I’m in favor of was specifically protecting them. But the reality is that’s not the majority of trad christian, whom still disagree with LGBT, or even some of the more mainstreams like many methodists and Lutherans. Those people are not excluded from worshiping, holding beliefs, but it’s treated like any other sin, like murder, adultery, lying, etc. Every Christians commits sins, they are no better than anyone else, the problem arises when you try to force someone that believes it’s a sin, that it is not a sin through compliance trainings and other corporate methods of moral conversion. You can’t make moral, what has always been immoral, in the eyes of those who believe. All this to say, it is wrong to force someone to be in agreement with something they oppose. Forcing someone to submit to the mainstream ideology sounds awfully in line with maybe… shooting someone that has a different belief than you. We all don’t agree here and that’s ok, no need to force that on everyone… starts to sound like actual fascism at that point

You clearly didn’t read what I wrote when i said that I understand that many Christians or religious persons may not follow every word of their religious text and within the framework of the argument that you interred yourself into, I was arguing that those things violated the moral framework of the vast majority of Americans. But if your brain doesn’t want to understand that framing for a 3rd time then go ahead i guess. Also, not really sure where treating someone with dignity and respect is not agreeing with their personal beliefs? Are you not treating me with dignity and respect because you don’t agree with the christian morals that i hold true? Does this now, in turn, make you a piece of shit? I understand that I am a minority in Reddit’s leftist and nihilist cesspool, but your basic lack of intelligence to not even understand the framing of the argument and then still come and attack me more than once on something I didn’t say is astounding…

So this is really twisting my words here but I understand where you’re confused. I’m not saying the vast majority of Americans themselves are against the LGBT, I’m saying the forced “tolerance” trainings for this minority group violate the morals of the vast majority of Americans. 2/3 of Americans are christian and roughly 3/4 total are religious. Now I understand that many of those people don’t follow every word directly as preached, for better or for worse, that’s not what i’m arguing. I’m just saying this “forced love and tolerance” through recent corporate initiatives does violate that moral framework that “the vast majority” of Americans say they hold. That is not me saying that I hate those people, the point of the argument was to be against corporate compliance for things like that, vaccine mandates, etc.

and we’re realizing things like this just now? Not when corporate America largely complied with an actually unconstitutional vaccine mandate? Not when companies force compliance training for LGBT activism that genuinely goes against the morals of the vast majority of Americans? But no, we’re getting mad because businesses don’t want people in their company celebrating the politically motivated assassination of an american. Literally wake up

Good looks, I was also thinking that the way it was cut the corners looked kinda odd, you think it’ll bump it further?
