Religious Nationalism in the US

[Sand Dancer]

Socialists never think about making sure everyone is taken care of. Otherwise they would not support forcing others to pay taxes for their benefit.

You make it sound like the Socialists aren't paying taxes themselves. Who are these ethereal "others?"

Good for Gracie, finding something that brings hope or peace in a complex and difficult life!

Is Gracie a Christian Nationalist? I don't believe her return to Christianity is what is best for everyone. Just because one person needs glasses doesn't mean everyone does or that everyone who needs glasses require the same prescription.

It represents one less angry antichrist which is progress for the world.

I think the difference between disciples of Jesus and socialists is this:
Disciples of Jesus want to help others freely, because they think it is good. And they don't want to be burden to others.

If that would actually work, I'd be all for it, but history has shown us that it clearly doesn't.

For just one example, charities during rough times tend to dry up as people who normally would donate are often fearful of losing their jobs. Deaths from starvation in Appalachia and the Navaho Res. occurred in the late 1950's, so if charity supposedly worked, why did these children die?

Socialists think other people must help them, give them everything, while they are not ready to do anything for others, nor to themselves.

Using a stereotype like this is unconscionable, and you should be ashamed of stooping to such a low. And as I posted last, you are clearing dissing what Jesus taught and elevating $ to deity levels.

Both may have the idea of helping others, the former just think others should be for them, while disciples of Jesus think they should take care of themselves and then be able to help also others.

That is so utterly pathetic as you again resort to using a stereotype.

No, a disciple of Christ puts God and people first, not $.

Angry people, religious or not, hamper progress for the world.

Killing for spilled seed, killing women who aren't virgins, this sex is wrong, that sex is bad, and often times don't enjoy it because it's strictly for reproduction. Do it as we approve (which has included barring certain positions) or you're doing it wrong and in a way that offends god. Don't have sex with this person or god gets offended. Don't have sex for fun outside of marriage or god will roast you.
And let's not forget America is well known for being sexually repressed throughout the Western world.

Christians saying that abstinence is 100% effective and not seeing the irony.

 

[Kelly of the Phoenix]

Seriously? Is that all you got out of what I have posted?

Are you saying an 8 year old actually knows their identity?

How come a zygote can have an identity but not an 8 year old child?

 

[Kelly of the Phoenix]

Do you really think this is an isolated case when school boards all over the country are filled with upset parents?

This isn't a FOX issue but rather the little foxes that are spoiling the vine

Parents called me to complain that they didn’t know what a noun was and so the homework was too hard.

 

[Kelly of the Phoenix]

Has nothing to do with Christian base. You don't give a drivers license to a 13 year old you don't show them porn either. Teach, yes. Porn no.

Give a kid a while to play driving games and they will be pretty good at it.

 

[Kelly of the Phoenix]

Yes... in your book which is why parents are in an uproar. They aren't your children.

Teaching biology and porn are two different subjects.

 

[Kelly of the Phoenix]

Jesus proved life after death, but anti-christs try to debunk that for obvious reasons.

Materialists try to enjoin people to their pessimistic despair.

So did everyone else who wasn’t clinically dead. Chop off Jesus’ head and there would be no resurrection story.

no argument there. That is why parents want some books removed from the school library

I did.

And they should step aside amd defer to those such as educators, child psychologists and experts in the field. Parents do not own their children and it's past time we start recognizing children as individuals who are not bound to their parents wants for them. It's detrimental to the kids, it's detrimental to society.

I would respectfully disagree. We are not a communist state that own the children.

Allowing kids to decide for themselves isn't the state owning it. If a child wants an education the parents should not be able to say no. If a child wants a vaccine a parent should not be able to say no. If a child wants to be a different religion the parents should understand why no is a terrible answer.

If you read all the way through the story the Roman guards made sure that the mortal body of Jesus was dead. That was their job. His body was entombed. After 3 days he reappeared in a new form.

The guards saw the stone tomb door roll away apparently on its own. Celestial beings were moving it. They freaked and ran back to town. They were bribed to keep it all on the down low!

Jesus appeared a number of times to different groups of people before returning to his place in heaven.

yes it is.

1) Most children would rather stay home and play. Parents are the ones that say "You are getting an education
2) A child has no understanding about vaccines and much less when they are born. It is the parent that says "Get a vaccine" and "No, you are not getting a Covid vaccine (or yes)" because they don't know or understand the ramifications of it.
3) A child has no idea about religions. It is the parent that leads and guides until they are old enough to make a decision for themselves (which they do and I did)

So, "no" to the state owning the child or its future. It is called "freedom".

But many DOJ don't. They only want to help saints, not sinners. They discriminate a lot. Socialists want everyone to be happy, healthy and safe.
