Bullshit. Married people of all sorts have children. Protected legal spousal rights.

Maybe you refer to some religious ceremony? No one GAF about that.

I don't GAF about what you think. Marriage is between a man and a woman.

No, it’s not, you amoral POS.

The law says otherwise. Are you stuck in 1950?

I don't care what your ''law'' says. In some countries the law says it's OK to eat people.

religion has ZERO place in government

A number of the original states had established churches in their constitution at the time of the founding which enforced religious taxes on their populations which continued until the 1830's. Laws prohibiting certain religious groups from holding office continued through the first half of the 19th century.

The 1st amendment establishment clause was there because of those established churches, which were an outgrowth of several colonies originally being religous colonies. Setting one particular church up as the national established church would have caused considerable problems in the late 18th century.

I'm amazed that people don't remember this from history class.

You can certainly make an argument that the national government was not a Christian government, but the fact is that several of the States were religious governments. You would have to note, that the social and cultural norms of the United States have been and still are Christian.

It's not very Christian to demonize poor people trying to come here for a better life. Nor was it very Christian to enslave people and then make them third class citizens for a hundred years. You'll have to call those "norms" something else besides Christian.

I'm amazed you don't remember these things from history class.

I abhor slavery, but you need to look at the historical context.

Why do you consider slavery to be incompatible with Christianity? Clearly if you remembered your history classes, you would know the exact biblical passages that southerners used to defend the institution.

You might also remember that not once does Jesus denounce the institution, namely because he wasn't concerned with making this world better, but saving people for the next.

The new and old testiment aren't anti-slavery. In fact, slaves are told to obey their masters as they would Christ. Slaves were considered to be free "spiritually", but not free under the law.

You also need to read the biblical passages on nations, it's not quite what you think it is.

Unlike many "Christians" who believe in "Hippie Jesus", I've actually read the bible. It's rather strange that many supposed christians haven't.

Ok, Aunt Lydia. We know you want to make it “great”.

Can you point to ANY Christian who advocates putting women in these get-ups and forcibly impregnating them? The Christian anti-abortion position is that if you create a life, you shouldn't kill it. The Handmaid's Tale is a ridiculous fever dream of people who don't even try to understand the viewpoint.

I take it you've never lived in country where abortion is outlawed completely, have you?

You don't need to be forcibly impregnating women to have a horror story about women's lives.

+1

You want to take away women’s autonomy over their bodies.

All the while ignoring the fact that the school's policy and his wife's association with the school are "deeply offensive" to millions of Americans.

He's a hypocrite. He needs to have the courage of his convictions and acknowledge his anti-gay stance up front. Just come out and say what he believes: "I think gays are sinners and have no place in America."

*the private Christian school that holds these same beliefs.

Sure thing!

Pence: "I hold the same anti-gay beliefs as the private Christian school my wife teaches at. I think gays are sinners and have no place in America."

He should have the courage of his own convictions to come out and say it loud and proud.

+1. How is this school policy even legal? It would be like a school banning people of a certain race.

Who cares, she is such a non-entity.
