why do christians really wonder why they aren't liked?

its amazing that the persecuted 80% of christians feel they aren't liked, when they control the senate, the house, the presidency, the supreme court. but all this is not good enough for them.. Bush veto's one bill in 6 years and its on stem cells... who knew that the 20% could have such an effect on the 80%. not me...

now they are back on the waaaambulance about having displays in public.... if they allow this im going to start a church of cat killers and im going to want statues in everywhere in public... and the thing is that though if we were to have the koran on the town green or in the courthouse. do you have any idea how ripped christians would be?? it wouldn't even be funny

Today we continue our discussion on religious liberty, in particular the display of religious symbols in public institutions.

We have been examining the case of the high school in Bridgeport, West Virginia where the ACLU is facing off with the local school board to require the removal of a painting of Jesus.


thank god for the ACLU with regard to this... no one likes them but here i think they kick @ss



they halt progress, interfere in peoples bedrooms, and in their personal lives, they got their hands all over womans ovaries... i mean fer real... they want to control your life, they want to stop the pharmasist from filling your prescription

why do they wonder why they aren't liked now... they are helping to kill people faster they are helping altzimers forget more b/c we had bush veto the stem cell bill... its just nuts.

Christians wonder no more!

It isn't the Christians who aren't liked. it is they who call themselves Christians and act as anything but, who are disliked.

Chritianity is the high mark of ignorance and the unrefinition of taste.

I wasn't responding to the Constitution aspect of his post but the fact they he feels 20% have the right to tell the other 80% what they can and cannot do.
The courts job is to determine if a law falls under the guide lines established by the Constitution. Not make laws or redefine laws due to their particular partisan leanings. Too satisfy the will of the 20%.

The majority does rule. The Constitution can be changed by a majority. Its called amending. When a person runs for office he's elected by the majority of voters.

Unfortunately the 20% keep trying to usurp this process and impose their will on everyone else.

You're not a very interesting fellow, are you?

For example, in the last three elections cycles (in which all 100 senate seats have gone through elections), the number of people who voted for Democratic senators exceeded the number of people who voted for republican senators, by over two million votes.

Yet, we have 55 GOP senate seats, and 44 Dem senate seats.

Take some remedial civics dude. Its not based on "the majority"

You are about 7 months behind the times. that was before the last election.
 
If there are 80% of the people are christian and they control the government then they are in the majority. The majority rules. The other 20% have to deal with it. Not try to get it changed by going around the law and getting the courts to make laws. This is a case of the 20% trying to rule over the 80% by any means posible.


This would be the case if democracy were two wolves and a sheep sitting down to decide what to have for dinner. Under your notion, if the christian majority took a dislike to ginger people, then their decision would be final.

This is why underlying rights are agreed on, such as the right to life, and luckily for the US, seperation of religion and politics....

Rob is right.

Also, it is against the Christian religion to campaign to eliminate what they deem immoral. If they remove 'temptation' then they interfere with the 'free will' to chose the 'right course' and so anyone adopting the religion's moral outklook isn't doing so through free choice.

That is what democracy is, actually. we're just not a pure democracy. we're a constitutional republic.

Your idiocy about laws removing free will is preposterous and idiotic.

Well, see... If they pass a law, like say against Murder, it makes Murder disappear because we are all 'bots and it takes our free will when they make a law.
 
Umm murder is a bit of an extreme example Damo . How about removing the temptation / choice of porn from the shelves ? This has long been a church goal, but it removes choice if they are succesful ?

Kinda hard to like people that tell you you are going to burn for eternity if you don't do just like them.

It still wouldn't work, or do you think that making it illegal makes the drugs go away?

The assumption is that free will would somehow be infringed and it would "take the temptation away" if there was a law against it. You have yet to provide an example of any time that has worked.

I read some study last week, that claimed that 50% of Christian men admit to being addicted to porn. The churches are blaming technology. In this article that I read, that's what they were blaming. Technology.

It's the same old, same old. First it was all Eve's fault, and that got transferred down through the generations to; it's the fault of all women. They tempt you. They're "loose". Look at how they dress! They're asking for it.

Now, it's "technology".

Well, at least women got a break for once. Usually, it's all on our heads.

No, I'm sure they also blame it on the wimmin....

If they weren't all getting into the flicks to begin with, the technology wouldn't be able to bring it in so readily.

I am not saying it would remove anything except the access to what we have to choose from. Temptation is another matter entirely.
