Charlie Kirk Shot and killed

Don’t strain too hard to distinguish love from inclusion, it would be a terrible world to live in if Christian’s didn’t have someone to hate.

It is the opposite, when I visited Liberia, I had plenty of people of very different backgrounds that I could interact with on a personal level because of my Faith. It brings people together, and not divide.

I wish I could take half the USA population, including you, and have them live in Liberia for 6-7 weeks like I did. I think it would change their life perspective on many things. I saw people that had nothing praising Jesus and sharing what they have. We don't deserve to even tie their shoe strings.
 
Referring to a state mandated sect. This is consistent with what I said above. He’s speaking against having a state mandated denomination in order to maintain peace among the different sects.
You're going to read whatever you personally want into it, but it's commonly understood from the quote and the letter it came from that it is Madison expressing a belief in strong separation of religion from the operation of the government.

"The better proof of reverence for that holy name would be not to profane it by making it a topic of legislative discussion." That was his response in 1775 when 'conservative christians' attempted to add "Jesus Christ" to the preamble of a religious freedom bill.
 
Umm….sir….I think you fundamentally misunderstand what an abortion is.

If you support abortion or “reproductive rights” as they like to call it, then you support “kill of live fetuses”.
But I don't "support" abortion nor have ever stated as much. Being an animal rights activist has nothing to do with abortion.
 
Fair enough

I am that perspective. I don't oppose it because I am Christian. We have tenants as Christians against Adultery, Lying, Sexual Immorality, Drunkenness, etc. That doesn't mean we need laws passed in the USA against these items.

Abortion is just different to me. It actually isn't talked about in the Bible (well it is in a way but you have to get into scholarly items to talk about it). It is more the fact that I think we are killing a living person. I even support free contraceptives if it can avoid this ugly act. I prefer people be celibate as that is the Biblical request but I live in the real world were most people don't care or make mistakes.

I also think we desperately need to improve the adoption process in our nation to find ways to take care of these children better and give women more options when they are faced with unwanted pregnancies. I would happy take a baby right now from a woman facing abortion but, having gone through adoption process once already, it is tough, long, and expensive. The child is, by far, the easiest part.

Congrats on your commitment to animal rights. Doesn’t change the reality of abortion. A reality which you support and which involved the death of a “live fetus”.
 
The only legislation passed in relation to morality and religion is overturning Rowe / Wade. Correct?

How many states have alcohol legislation that is driven by religious beliefs?
How many states are trying to have the 10 commandments displayed in schools?
How many states are attempting to have the bible as a 'historical text' taught in schools?
How many states ban doctor assisted suicide?
 
You want to cite my "religious beliefs" that I've attempted to legislate on the country?
Abortion is your religion, environmentalism is your religion. Transexualism is your religion.
The people that you support and vote Make sure your beliefs are passed
 
Not everyone needs the threat of 'eternal damnation' to have a moral compass in their decision-making.
Besides simplistically not understanding religion in the least, I'd rebut not everyone unconcerned about an immortal soul has the capacity for morality or decision-making.
But that was hardly the point.

Rather it was pointing out that everyone, including secularists, have a belief system they wish to impose on others by legislation. We've seen what that looks like for nearly a century.
The mirror doesn't lie.

I never claimed that the founders wanted religion in govt operations. I would agree with that statement.

Jesus preached loved, not inclusion. It is pretty clear, over and over again, in his words and the words of his Apostles, that only through Jesus can you attain salvation.

"I am the way, the truth, and the life, NOBODY comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

“Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven." Matthew 10:32-33

This chapter continues further:

37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.

40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”

Not sure what persecutions Christians are doing to other groups other than calling them sinners and saying they need repentance. There are "Christians" that say a lot of nonsense, sure. Under your logic, religions are bad because they are sharing tenants their faith believes but society disagrees on. That isn't bigotry.

Christianity is proverbial buffet that you guys pick from to justify your actions as you see fit, and set aside the teachings that are inconvenient to your own wishes.

Otherwise, you'd all be minimalists who gave the vast majority of your worldly wealth to helping those less fortunate than you.

I have no issues with what you posted, it supports the verses that I posted as well.

18 years in a Southern Baptist church, and a decade and some change as a practicing Roman Catholic; I've got a better understanding of 'religion' than the vast majority of Americans.

You being unable to control yourself from stealing/raping/murdering without the fear of post-death reprisal from god, is your own personal failing that I don't think you can ascribe to the perception of society's lack of belief in your particular flavor of Christianity.

How exactly did I support it?

You’ve openly spoke out here about the overturning or Roe v Wade. To be completely fair to you: you intentionally and pathetically have avoided direct questions on here about abortion in the past. But it’s obvious you do not oppose abortion.

Therefore: you support people being allowed to legally kill a “living fetus”.

The intentionally vague game is sad for a man of your age. Just say what you mean
