I'm not afraid of the future, I know. I'm afraid for you.

It was never said in arrogance, as the poem has it (the very false assessment that has been undermining American greatness for half a century now), and the rest of the world acknowledged it. The image of its ruin is not due so much to its own faults, though naivete and lack of vigilance might be among those, but to the work of enemies, most of them unseen.

It WAS the best nation, I didn't say it still is. It's been corrupted by the very opinions that are so prolific at EvC. Corrupted and on the verge of total destruction.

There's nothing I can do about wrong executions. Fortunately they are now often discovered and corrected by DNA testing. Mistakes don't invalidate the principle of the death penalty. I'm sure you feel morally superior by rejecting that principle though. There's nothing moral about that.

It was Christian from the beginning, in spite of the betrayal of Deists. The vast majority were serious Christians and that is what brought all the blessings of prosperity and just general goodness to this nation. Haters of Christianity, so many of whom post here, have always tried to undermine that influence nevertheless, being ignorant of its role in American greatness, but they didn't really get power until the sixties and it's been downhill since then.

Yes, the death penalty is necessary. I'm glad we now have ways of proving someone innocent that we didn't have before.
ABE: Bet you couldn't care less about the murder of 55 million unborn babies, though you wring your hands over judicial mistakes. I care about both. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

If you actually knew any history you would know it wasn't the Christians who did those things.
Your attack on Christians is exactly what has been engineered by the forces corrupting America for the last decades, false accusations, the very hallmark of the work of the devil. You're a shill for the devil. Edited by Faith, : No reason given. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Nobody is "created" gay, it is one of those deformations of nature that are the result of the Fall. I've also never said they can't get married, what I object to is their requiring ME to accept it.
You are the very mouth of the devil.

You are believing revisionist history made up by the devil whom you represent.

God told Noah that he who takes a life should have his life taken. He should also be given the gospel of salvation.

I only believe in gospel redemption and if a murderer repents and is saved that's wonderful, he or she will have eternal life though not escape the death penalty. Those who commit other crimes than willful murder may possibly be rehabilitated.
There is no difference between the God of the Old and New Testaments, they are one and the same, only different Persons. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

According to scripture, Romans 1:20-28, homosexuality is a form of God's judgment for idolatry, which would include various perversions of Christianity which have been flourishing in the west for about a century now. Homosexuality increases at the end of a series of denials of God.

Why does your God allow Satan freedom to deceive me after he has already condemned her? Him. I don't know but there seems to be a general trend to letting evil have its day until it has played itself out to the max before Jesus returns to put a complete end to it.

It's pretty standard Christian theology all the way back.
Oh how you revisionists love criminals. Hate unborn babies but love criminals. And you call that good.

When did Christians ever have the right to refuse upholding the law as elected officials? There were no laws Christians would be required by our faith to object to until the gay marriage ruling that requires us to choose between God and gay marriage. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.
