The Right to Be Christian in a Gay Rights AmericaThis book provides a biblical and constitutional defense against the persecution of Christians who do not support homosexuality (homosexual acts) and explains why their non endorsement is a question of faith and religion, not of bigotry and homophobia.

This book provides a biblical and constitutional defense against the persecution of Christians who do not support homosexuality (homosexual acts) and explains why their non-endorsement is a question of faith and religion, not of bigotry and homophobia. Dodds's intent is not to castigate those who identify themselves as gay or to inflame emotions, but to present a convincing argument as to why many Christians believe they cannot support the LGBTQ lifestyle.There are Christians in America who have been persecuted (fired, jailed, sued, maligned, physically threatened, expelled etc.) for not supporting, approving of, or participating in the affirmation of homosexuality. Dodds emphasizes that there is a difference between tolerance and support, but that the line between the two has been blurred causing many Christians to be unjustly accused of intolerance and discrimination.
While the main focus of most books on either side of this issue is whether or not homosexuality is right or wrong from a biblical standpoint, this book focuses primarily on the injustice of persecuting Christians who believe that the Bible says homosexuality is morally wrong and thus do not condone it. The book supports the position that says it is reasonable, when taking into account the Scriptures that address homosexuality, for Christians to believe that homosexuality is immoral and that it is therefore a violation of their constitutional rights of freedom of religion and freedom of speech if forced to go against this belief or if persecuted for upholding it.

Comfortable, Stylish, and Great for Casual Seating
The OLIXIS Criss Cross Legged Chair is a really nice option if you prefer sitting cross-legged or want a wider, more relaxed seating style compared to a traditional office chair. The armless design and wide seat make it easy to shift positions throughout the day without feeling restricted.
Comfort-wise, the padding is decent and supportive for short to moderate sitting sessions. The adjustable height and swivel function work smoothly, and it’s easy to find a comfortable position whether you’re working at a desk, doing makeup, or just using it casually in a bedroom or home office setup.
The minimalist look is also a plus—it blends well with modern decor and doesn’t take up as much visual space as bulky office chairs. Assembly was fairly straightforward and didn’t take long.
One thing to note is that since it has no wheels, it’s not ideal if you need to move around your workspace frequently. Also, while it’s comfortable, it may not be the best choice for long, full workdays compared to a high-back ergonomic chair with more lumbar support.
Overall, this is a stylish and functional chair that works great for light office use, studying, or casual seating—especially if you like the criss-cross sitting position.

Perfect little black chair
I bought this chair for four reasons:
1. My favorite color is black, but the company offers different color options.
2. The height of the chair was exactly what I was looking for. I did not want a tall back for the chair. The chair is close to the ground, which is a plus for me, my back, and my knees as I get older.
3. The chair comes with the option of wheels or no wheels; I chose the no wheels option, as I get dizzy and sick when I spin around for too long.
4. The chair’s wide back and seat design are perfect for me, since I prefer to sit criss-cross in a chair.
Pluses: It reclines, is comfy, and can be cleaned and moved easily.

Great chair, highly recommend!
Color: Cream, Size: PU Leather(No Wheels), Color: Cream, Size: PU Leather(No Wheels)
Very nice looking chair! It is comfortable, classy, and durable unless you have a cat like mine who used it for his claws. It was easy to put together. All of the hardware was of good quality and everything fit perfectly. My 14 year old daughter even put it together herself. We actually bought two of these. The other one is in my daughter‘s room for her vanity. I highly recommend them whether you’re buying it to sit crisscross or just for roomy comfort. It is a very comfortable chair and looks elegant.
