America is over as we have known it

[jrogers]

it's not over. it just has to separate itself from the Socialist Republic Of America.

Hey, maybe the South will rise again!

In the end, either the turd sandwich or giant douche had to win...Unfortunately, the TS/GD that has nothing to lose (ie. getting reelected to another term) won, so that is certainly scary.

I don't care for your South Park-grade terminology, but you're not entirely wrong.

I don't believe that President Obama will do anything too extreme. He won't jeopardize the midterms.

Who knows, 4 more years of sandwich might not be quite as bad as a possible 8 of sandwich with some grey poupon, you know...since sandwich smothered in grey poupon has talked about how he supported many things sandwich did. There is no reason to think he would have done anything any different.

my question is..... How many of these threads will pop up on here in the next 24 hours.....

 

[sepe]

1,000

"Big city voters" do not get to decide everyone's religion. That is a personal choice, and anyone can choose to continue to teach Christianity to their children.

I should also point out that the Christian candidate defeated the Mormon candidate....

I would like to point out that Obama is no Christian. Christians don't push programs or laws that are intrinsically evil.

1,000

If we start now we can beat that number.

I wonder if the mods would mind if I scripted thread creation with random pseudoapocalyptic text.

He's no true Scotsman either.

Yeah, that has never happened in the history of man.

I would like to point out that Obama is no Christian. Christians don't push "programs or laws that are intrinsically evil."

Let's have some details on these "programs or laws that are intrinsically evil." It's one hell of a claim, so surely you can back it up by listing specific programs and/or laws, then explaining how they qualify as "intrinsically evil."

Yeah, because the Crusades didn't happen.

 

[ZombieApocolypse]

Yeah, because the Crusades didn't happen.

Either did Jonestown

 

[dross]

Yeah, because the Crusades didn't happen.

Just for the record: There was nothing evil about the crusades.

Christianity is the biggest loser in this campaign, as it has been thoroughly repudiated by big city voters.
...

Non-sense. Christianity is not the exclusive territory of the right. There is a Christian left. Taking care of widows, orphans, and the poor are also Christian values, a fact that we seem all too hasty to overlook when the right complains about "entitlements."

We were founded to be a country of religious freedom, not a Christian church state.

The word “God” appears only once in the Declaration of Independence. The words “Jesus…Christ…Messiah…Son of God” do not appear at all. Not once.
Jews also have God. Muslims have God (“Allah” is the Arabic word that means God”) and Christians have God. Therefore, I think the language in the Declaration of Independence applies to all faiths that proclaim a God, not just Christians.

The word “God” does not appear once in the U.S. Constitution. Neither do the words “Jesus…Christ…Messiah…Son of God” appear once in the Constitution.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence and was our third President. Although Thomas Jefferson was raised as a Christian (Episcopalian), as an adult he became a Unitarian. A Unitarian does not believe in the Trinity. Jefferson is on record as saying the Christian story was a fable.

“Because religious belief, or non-belief, is such an important part of every person's life, freedom of religion affects every individual. Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of an established religion tends to make the clergy unresponsive to their own people, and leads to corruption within religion itself. Erecting the ‘wall of separation between church and state,’ therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society.”
-- Thomas Jefferson, to the Virginia Baptists (1808)

Let's have some details on these "programs or laws that are intrinsically evil." It's one hell of a claim, so surely you can back it up by listing specific programs and/or laws, then explaining how they qualify as "intrinsically evil."

Within Obamacare is a provision that employers must pay for "medical abortions" meaning a medication related to RU486. OB/GYNs will be required to prescribe them. If they do not, there are heavy fines that will be levied against them.

So people who believe that abortion no matter the route is murder will be put into a position to violate "Thou shall not kill" and "get bankrupted for living what you believe".

Putting a person in that position is evil.

Good to know! Were the Salem Witch Trials morally sound? The eradication of Manichaean "heretics?" How about the Spanish Inquisition?

And before anyone starts accusing me of "bashing" religion, let me be clear: The point is simply that the claim "Christians don't push programs or laws that are intrinsically evil" is without merit.

No, your other examples are evil. The crusades were not.

Who are you talking about? Biden is a non practicing Catholic, and then other guy, Husein is a non practicing Muslim.

I wasn't aware there was a Christian candidate on the ballot?

 

[Mad Macs]

So forcing people to convert to Christianity or killing them isn't evil?
