i Kamala was for they, them. Trump is for you. |
Their “Godly” man didn’t endorse Trump either. I lived around them for years too, and they are mostly just racists dressed up in nice WASP manners. |
Fake. And Trump hasn't done shit for me. He's made my life worse. |
The Bible also says it's a sin to cut the hair from the temples of your head, but that it's OK to keep slaves and stone someone for various reasons. But then we're told that no longer applies, because it's Old Testament and this is the religion of Christ. But what does Christ have to say about homosexuality? Nothing. There is absolutely nothing about it from Christ - but he DID teach about love, compassion and inclusion - things that intolerant faux-Christians haven't learned. |
About the part I bolded: Jesus was speaking to the woman and telling her individually what to do. He did not say to the people to make sure she never sinned again. The church’s teachings are individual commandments - not commandments to society to prevent others from acting in certain ways. That’s what I don’t get about Christianity these days - why many interpret all of this as a reason to vote against abortion above all else. Individually, the teachings say not to have an abortion - not for society to prevent the possibility. So, voting for politicians who support dignity of life in society through tax codes not favoring only the rich and caring for “the least among us” should be the mindset of any Christian. Because even if the politicians support the ability of citizens to do things the Bible speaks against (abortion, homosexuality, etc), whether individuals actually do those things is between the individual and God. God gave us free will - we, as Christians, should be voting for candidates who recognize that free will and support the dignity of life for all. |
Religious rules and commandments are for their adherents. They are for believing individuals to follow. Not to be imposed on others who aren't followers of the faith. |
There's always some Joe Rando self-proclaimed "conservative Catholic" who basically just shows up for weddings and funerals and maybe for a Christmas or Easter mass if their family goads them into it, only to zone out for the homilies.
What a bunch of phonies. They will presume to lecture about what the church says and how they disagree with the Pope yet when you quiz them on what was in this week's Mass Lectionary they have no clue, can't recall what this week's reading was (or didn't go). They presume to know better than the Pope, as if the Pope was somehow dropped from the skies by aliens, ignoring all of the actual religious studies this Pope went through, the degrees he holds (Master of Divinity, a JCL, and a Doctorate in Canon Law), the ministries he did, the vast amount of actual experience he has as opposed to Joe Rando with his Strong-But-Ignorant-Opinions. |
Will Democrats listen when the Pope castigates the grave sin of abortion? |
Don't have an abortion if you think it's a sin. Everyone will respect that. Stay out of everybody else's business regarding this issue. |
Nothing in the Bible commands anyone to prevent others from sinning - its only proscriptions are to share what the Bible says and to tell you not to sin yourself. Democrats actually understand that and are not making Christians get abortions and are not preventing anyone who doesn’t think abortion is a sin from getting one. |
And yet they are fine with laws that mandate health insurance nuns buy cover birth control and abortion. |
It's not~ Jesus was compassionate, kind, empathetic, wanted to help the poor and weak-loved others and didn't base it on the color of their skin or how much money they had. MAGA stands for the complete opposite. Jesus was "woke" as the MAGA say and they would despise him. |
This. |
All MAGA do is twist and gaslight-anything to convince themselves their god dump is the chosen one. They will have a lot to answer for. |
This is why the smart people of the world determined there was no such thing as "God" and we laugh at the silly Christians, Muslims, Jews and any other religious dupes. This being said; to each their own. If people want to worship something fake, have at it. It's their business. Love and peace is all that matters. |
