[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article describes a people who obey the law, cherish and uphold family traditions and values, and who don’t want to put up with bs from lawless, “black sheep of the family” types who cause chaos and trouble.

Much of MAGA stems from this:

[i] Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work...For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving diverse lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.[/i] (Titus 3:1)

When you understand this you will understand MAGA: we love God AND our country. The Democratic party is home base for atheists, queers (black sheep), and communists.  MAGA is diametrically opposed to these types of people, hence the divide in our nation: sheep vs goats, God-fearing vs godless: righteous vs unrighteous.

This is not to say MAGA is perfect, for we are human, only that The Bible is our absolute and final authority concerning human origins, proper sexual behavior, and moral conduct.

I will pre-empt those who will say, “Trump did this….said that…”.

Individual candidates do not define a political party’s platform, so sayeth I.

There are certainly candidates who act like Democrats (I always thought Trump a Democrat for the Miss America sleazefest he oversaw), and there are greedy and immoral politicians but on the whole, the R platform is a force for good and best for America.

So, to be clear, you are anti-healthcare and you believe God will take care of your health?  So you don’t want healthcare for you or your children?  Because that is exactly what you voted for. You voted for more children to die from disease and malnutrition. 
Fine- then don’t enter any more hospitals or medical clinics. 
If you can be consistent with your views, I can understand and respect. When you waffle, it’s manipulation and not respectable. [/quote]Nobody is anti-healthcare but there is a considerable segment of the population who do not want their tax dollars murdering babies in the womb or paying for mentally confused people to get surgery and hormones to better deceive people that they are of the opposite sex.

Healthcare did not go away, nor is it going away because of Trump. Stop being a Democrat shill.

You need to go back to Biology class.[/quote]

How can you expect people who believe they are feasting on Zombie Jesus every Sunday to understand biology? [/quote]

DP: You lose credibility and the argument when you go full bigotry like that.[/quote]

I’m just debating the “science” here. Carbs don’t become a dead guy. DNA analysis proved it. And 6-week embryos don’t have “souls”, and don’t really have brains, either.

No, you just called the most sacred of all Christian sacraments "Zombie Jesus." Flat out mockery. You did not 'debate the science' nor is doing so necessary. Any Catholic priest will tell you there is no human DNA is a consecrated host. The faiths that believe in transubstantiation do not pose it as a physical or scientifically provable event. They teach it as metaphysical and spiritual transformation. It is a difference between the "substance" and the "accidents" (theological terms), the metaphysical and the physical. So trying to "disprove it scientifically" is just a gross misunderstanding of the Sacrament. Mocking it, is bigotry.

For those open minded folks who would like to actually understand this important distinction, including many Catholics who learned it with a second grade brain and never thought about it again and possibly misunderstood it for most of their lives, here is a discussion of this topic --and the exact mockery PP engaged in--from the Society of Catholic Scientists. https://catholicscientists.org/articles/does-contemporary-science-refute-the-doctrine-of-transubstantiation/

Similarly, any priest will agree that you cannot scientifically prove when a soul enters the body. Politics aside for a moment, this is why the Catholic theological, moral view is that one must assume it occurs at conception to avoid sin (and acknowledge that people do sin). That is their personal, moral, theological prerogative that does not have to be scientifically proved.

Politically, the unknowable, unprovable aspect of ensoulment is why others, including many Catholics and Catholic politicians, agree that the government should not be involved in what is a personal moral belief and decision, particularly because one must acknowledge that other faiths have very different opinions about when, or even if, a soul enters a body. Americans who believe in freedom of religion and separation of Church and state, including many Catholics and Christians and Christian politicians, understand that those individuals should not be held to the moral standards of another faith system, when the basis of all of them is belief.[/quote]

Fabulous. Then let’s stop making abortion policy based on nonsense and faith. [/quote]

Agreed! We need to do better in our elections.[/quote]
