I preferred it when you were talking bollox about geology and biology. At least your delusional ideas there were harmless.
This crazy inability to think critically, asses sources and facts and come to a conclusion based on them is frightening when you're able to vote. And now we know that there's millions just like you. It's terrifying.
I've never understood why fundamental Christians and right wing politics are a match. It's an absolute certainty that if you so-called Christians asked yourself honestly 'what would Jesus do?' The answer wouldn't be buy plenty of guns, send refugees home, turn-in you illegal neighbour, build a wall, pollute the rivers, marginalise gays and vote for narcisistic, woman assaulting sexist leaders.

The authoritatian thing makes sense. Well, I can follow the logic at least - the outcome of course, doesn't make any kind of sense.
But I can't make the Christian thing work unless I chuck away the entire New Testament. (It's perfect match to the OT though. Perhaps these fake Christians just grit their teeth when they read JC talk about feeding the homeless, doing as you would be done by and eye of needle stuff.)

The New Testament doesn't apply to nations.
What utter crap.
Think through the consequencies of this belief. Nations do not have to follow the teachings of Christ. Jesus.....

Re: The racism is all coming from the Left
Faith writes:
I heard recently, correct me if something's changed or is wrong, that France's popular candidate for President, Marine LePen is threatened with imprisonment for saying that ISIS is dangerous.
More fake news that you failed to check but swallowed whole.
She actually published three uncensored pictures of ISIS beheadings.
Under French law, the maximum penalty for distributing violent images is three years in prison and a fine of up to 75,000 (64,000).

Why am I always so astonished at the stupidity of the Left?
It's because you're not a Christian and don't accept do as you would be done by as the only way to lead a good life.

I don't know exactly what Tangle meant by "fake", but my comments addressed dispensationalists.
Fake Christians are those that ignore Jesus's core values of loving thy neighbour and do as you would be done by etc in favour of their personal interpretations of their quote mined bible.
Faith is a fake Christian. It's not intentional - it's not fraud - she's just not the real thing, she's a corrupted version of a Christian with views that JC himself would have called an abomination, to use an oft quoted word.

Re: ...

I call the gay marriage law wrong and unjust, certainly in the context of a nation built on freedom of religion among other freedoms
You understand, of course, that freedoms compete? They have to be balanced against each other. Expecting your particular freedom to trump all others is not freedom - it's dictatorship. Religion doesn't get a free pass to over-rule all other freedoms, how could it in a free society? For your rule to rule all, you'd have to live in a theocracy, and you don't.
You have freedom to practice and speak about your religion. You just don't have freedom to discriminate against other members of your society in the public sphere. That's the compromise you have to accept - it's not a problem for the majority of Christians, just your particular sect. And it's not particularly onerous - it's something that in 50 years time will look as wrong as aparteid. That's just the way it goes.

Re: First Amendment
Faith writes:
I don't recall any discussion by the Founders of competing freedoms.
Now don't be silly, you know that all freedoms are qualified. Freedom of speach is not absolute. This seems to cover it
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Just get on with allowing everyone to be equal and all will be fine.
So if there is a conflict, religious rights should have priority.
Bollox!
