As Arranged, Trump Has Been Acquitted

Stow that rubbish. If anything is true it's the enslavement of formerly free individuals under liberal fundamentalism.

"Rather than truly embrace “freedom,” liberal fundamentalists seek to control virtually every aspect of the lives of the masses that are unfortunate enough to be under their fundamentalist rulership. They seek to outlaw SUV’s, impose smoking bans while advocating marijuana use, prohibit freedom of religious expression in government and public schools, advocate compulsory training in politically correct opinions and attitudes, seek to enforce Bible bans in schools and the workplace, embrace a de-facto litmus test against pro-life judicial nominees, seek to criminalize pro-life demonstrations through the RICO racketeering statute, try to squelch legitimate religious speech via “hate-speech” laws (note Canada), and generally engage in a wide range of behaviors designed to subvert the U.S. Constitution and traditional American values. It is certainly arguable, then, that “progressive” liberal fundamentalism substantially undermines the basic effectiveness of the government and other societal elements of democracy. Despite the idealistic goals of liberalism, attempts to build a utopian liberal society in America have only led to heightened outbreaks of AIDS, VD, porno-related crime, social divisions, divorce, abortion, drug addictions, deficit spending, the welfare state, a crushing tax burden, the breakdown of the family unit, moral depravity, and numerous other such scourges which have resulted in enormous societal suffering and discontent. As a result, liberal fundamentalism is strongly associated with left-wing fanaticism, reverse-racism, anti-intellectualism, elitism, nihilism, godlessness, and societal violence."

Moral depravity? Is this from the same Christian ideology that thinks women are beneath men by default and got upset making domestic raid and battery crimes?
Racism? Don't forget the idea that black people are the cursed descendants of Ham is a Christian thing. That Christians fought to preserve the idea that the natural state of the negro is slavery. Welfare state? Your own messiah was a homeless bum who lived off the handouts of others.

It is a fair question. When historically was there a much better place where Christianity did not exist? And, what country would you rather live in that has rejected the Christian faith? Do you know your berka size?

Genghis Kahn established a remarkable empire, and as a woman I'd be on more equal ground to men than what other places would have, especially in places where Paul is supported, where it is not allowed for a woman to speak in church or "usurp" power over a man. And the Jews generally, typically, largely, and mostly give me way less grief and troubles than Christians. They honor my life as my life way more than Christians who want to make my private business their own concern.

So you would rather live under the time and rule of Genhis Kahn then one where Christianity has had an impact?

So, you would rather live in Israel then where you live today?

You live in a fairy tale world. The only thing holding the judgement of God against the world is the presence of the Christians on the earth. Once that is taken away, and it will be as I showed you, it is nothing but judgement.

Good-Ole-Rebel
Believing simething doesn't mean it will happen. I can just as easily say it's you who believe in a fairy tale.

Yup. He was a ruthless conquered, but his empire was definitely one of the more benevolent and egalitarian. Living under Marcus Aurelius probably wouldn't be that bad, either.
So, you would rather live in Israel then where you live today?
No. Too hot. Just pointing out Jews do tend to treat me better than Christians. As for where I live, I'm happy here in my corner of paradise that is one of the most post-Christian places in America. I'm not relentlessly pestered, perturbed, and hounded over religion, not being Christian, and not caring to live up to Christian dogma like I was in Bible thumping Indiana.

True. It will happen whether I or you believe it.

Or, it will not happen happen whether you or I believe it.

Good-Ole-Rebel
It won't happen. And so many of us are going to be so much better off when there are no more churches praying for our rights to be stripped and taken away.

Still another founding father, the Reverend John Witherspoon, mirrored Benjamin Rush when he declared, “…Civil liberty cannot long be preserved without virtue….”
What about Thomas Jefferson who declared himself the intellectual adversary of the clergy? Or Benjamin Franklin who denounced Christianity as false? What 9f the fact Christians do not own an exclusive right to the term religion? Or, my favorite, Thomas Paine who railed Christianity as a "thing" of which nothing else is more impossible to believe, nothing more offensive to reason and the Almighty, and something that only produces atheists and fanatics? He too is considered a founding father.

How do you know it won't happen?

You boast of your efforts at destroying the impact of Christ upon peoples lives. Yet you are in fact going along exactly as God plans. (2 Thess. 2:3) (2 Thess. 2:7)

So, you see? Even your antagonism against God and Christ and Christians, is under His control.

Just like you would rather live under Genghis Kahn, so you help pave the way for the anti-christ. (2 Thess. 2:8-9).

And, when we Christians are removed from your world, it is us who will be rejoicing. Your world will fall into chaos.

Those are products of the 'enlightenment'. By the time of the government of the U.S. being formed, the enlightenment did play a role. But the origin of the U.S. is Christian. You don't go back to just 1776. You go back to the Mayflower and Plymouth Rock and Jamestown.

It is an assumption, true, but a safe and strong one based on the idea, and fact, that Christianity hijacked Judaism, got a lot about it wrong, made some stuff up, reinventing a few things, so they get all that wrong then they probably got the rest wrong.

That makes no sense. So god would make me with the purpose of doing "bad things" to lead peiple away from him, to ultimately put me in hell for doing what he made me to do? Is that how Jehovah rewards service?

ut the origin of the U.S. is Christian.
Freedom of religion is inherently a violation of "thou shalt have no other gods before me" and the orders to kill those who do worship other gods. And, of course, "The United States of America is not, in any sense of the word, established upon Christian principles."

An assumption based upon another assumption. Surely there is a name for that. Christianity never hijacked Judaism.

God knows you. (Ps. 76:10) (Rom. 9:17-23)

Yes it is. And when Jesus Christ returns, there will be no freedom of religion.

When the pilgrims came to this land, they offered no freedom of religion. You can thank your enlightenment people later for that.

The U.S. was based on Christianity. Read the Mayflower Compact.

Guitar's Cry

I wish you skeptics would someday do your homework so you know what you're talking about.

The Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary offers the following explanation for Leviticus 19:19

“Neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee—Although this precept, like the other two with which it is associated, was in all probability designed to root out some superstition, it seems to have had a farther meaning. The law, it is to be observed, did not prohibit the Israelites wearing many different kinds of cloths together, but only the two specified; and the observations and researches of modern science have proved that ‘wool, when combined with linen, increases its power of passing off the electricity from the body. In hot climates, it brings on malignant fevers and exhausts the strength; and when passing off from the body, it meets with the heated air, inflames and excoriates like a blister’ [Whitlaw]. (See Ezekiel 44:17-18)

Do try to do your homework before leaping.

It appears there could be multiple reasons: Why can't I wear a garment made of wool and linen? - BibleAsk

Which are fairly obsolete today. Like laws against homosexuality. :cool:

No they didn't. Jesus Christ came in fulfillment of the Covenants, Prophets, and Mosaic Law.

Good-Ole-Rebel
Is that why he said he came to do away with none of that? Not until all things have been fulfilled, and he left a list of things unfulfilled.
