Re: gay marriage travesty
Yep, I was wrong: Voting doesn't always tell you what people think because so much of it is manipulated these days.
ABE: This whole thing is a disgusting example of manipulated politics. First we had state after state producing citizen votes against gay marriage, then the courts went totalitarian and spat in the face of those citizens, and then finally somehow they got a "vote" for what the people had voted against just a few years earlier. What a travesty.

Good show. An image is almost as good as twisting words to mean whatever you want them to mean. "Undocumented" instead of "illegal." Ha ha ha what a wonderland the left is.

You sound just like Karl Rove did last presidential election night when the bean counters called the election for Barrack. He just knew something was wrong. In fact, nothing was wrong, Romney got spanked in an electoral college landslide. And that was well after Obama spoke out publicly in favor of gay marriage.
You have no reason to think any of the votes for gay marriage were manipulated, and no evidence that they don't reflect the will of the people in those states. You are quite happy to cite votes against gay marriage, and then to decide that voting is manipulated when it goes against you.
Your claims to are just empty. You keep claiming that nobody here addresses your in a factual way, but that isn't quite true, is it? You simply reject facts that don't support your position and you don't bring any of your own facts to the table.

You're not actually addressing my points, so you're kinda incompetent in holding rational discourse. Enjoy your unearned privilege.

Re: Trump On Torture
The law violates God's word, so wherever it puts a person in the position of choosing to obey the law or obey God's word Christians are going to obey God's word. That's that.
Not according to God himself. The authorities that exist have been established by God...

Re: gay marriage travesty
Here is how Trump expresses his opinion regarding waterboarding:
quote:
Would I approve waterboarding? You bet your ass I would -- in a heartbeat," Trump said to loud cheers during a rally at a convention center [in Columbus, Ohio] Monday night that attracted thousands. "And I would approve more than that. Don't kid yourself, folks. It works, okay? It works. Only a stupid person would say it doesn't work."
This is an opinion deserving respect? It's okay for Trump to call his detractors stupid, but it is not okay to criticize Trump based on the facts?

Re: Trump On Torture
That's a big problem in the US government and legal system. The Constitution is explicitly the highest law in the land. Obeying a "higher" law in government or the legal system is ipso facto unconstitutional.
You can have any opinions you want. You can almost always voice them. But implementing "biblical law trumps the Constitution" is illegal.
If you cannot act within the law of the land in your business, get out of the business.

Re: gay marriage travesty
You are advocating lawlessness. If your conscience requires that whatever you do goes against the law of the land, which is the Constitution and much more but nt othe Bible, then you need to change what you are doing or pay the price.
