    "Here’s the result: “Thus two thousand years of moral truth and religious principle become, by sleight of hand, a species of bias.” For example, “Opposing same-sex marriage (so the reasoning goes) amounts to religiously blessed homophobia.”"

    you're free to believe what you want, but you can't verbally attack your fellow employees because of those beliefs

    I'm not religious at all.

    I don't like religious people telling me what I can and cannot do.

    But I don't like liberals telling me what I can and cannot do either.

    That's the part they seem unwilling to understand.

    Woke means anti racist, which I’d have thought Christians (love thy neighbour) would be completely in favour of.
    For me one big problem with Christians is not being vegetarian when they go on about the sanctity of life.

    Why do you say Trump is the Poster Boy for the Seven Deadly Sins? What actual things did he do to deserve you saying that? Any FACTS? Or just vague accusations based solely on emotion?

    I want a President that keeps my family safe and prosperous. Trump did that. No new wars, 1.6% inflation, law and order, $2 gas, no arming of terrorists, secure borders... THESE are the things I want from my President. If I want MORAL leadership... I'll go to church. If a President keeps my family safe and prosperous, I don't care if he/she has an extramarital affair with an aardvark.

    Religious principal and moral truth are completely unrelated, no matter how long silly myths managed to stay in existence. Your religion was created and fomented to control the masses, just as you are trying to do with your continued "series" of posts on interrelated topics.

    I found it quite telling- and disturbing- that the "man" you chose to quote also has a problem with contraception, which is of course not necessary when diddling little boys, now is it?

    How many times do I have to tell you- I've been to the other side. It exists. There is some "force" there. But it's not the "god" you worship. That does not. So, your stories of all the things that it said we're not allowed to do are nothing but bullshit. We're here to learn and evolve. Not to be judged because your myth says someone's sexual proclivities deserves to burn in boiling oil for all of eternity.

    Why do you persist with trying to force your beliefs onto others? Isn't it good enough to live by your standards yourself? This is after all a political forum that deals with what laws should and should not exist, so if you were not endorsing using your "holy" scrip to make law with, what's the purpose of your point?

    So ... what's the problem with forgiving gay's or other people with a sexual orientation that isn't the same as you? TRaitor tRump isn't hetero sexual he's preditor sexual, you don't have a problem with that.

    Can you confirm here that you're not talking about general religious freedom then, only the recognition of your personal interpretation of the Christian Bible as the exclusive and unconditional source of morality for everyone?

    Sorry, but you don’t get to shove the gay/tranny agenda down everyone’s throat. You wanna show your kids the gays and fawn over them? Go right ahead, but stay the hell away from ours.

    Levitical law is an automatic -- and embarrassing -- fail to justify Xtian bigotry. Christ was silent on homosexuality, abortion, and religious "freedom."

    Lol…you do realize that so-called Christian truth has caused the deaths of more people throughout history than most other religions, don’t you?
    Your so-called Christian truth has just overreached again and launched an assault on women’s individual rights that has already come back to bite them in the ass in an election.

    Your "truth" comes from pre-historic goat herders who were dumb enough to believe that viral diseases were literal "punishments from 'god'". My version comes as a firsthand witness to the question of "What happens after we die?".

    Why do you trust the goat herders, who were likely doing some good drugs when they had their "conversations with 'god'", more than a living firsthand witness?

    Why, then, are you not also demanding that we put disobedient children to death, as "god" commanded us in Matthew 15:4?

    So you are saying that monkeypox is NOT transmitted by homosexual contact? Have you told Fauci yet?

    One of the dumbest things yet claimed about their biblical God.

    "In this section of Scripture, we learn that brotherly love is our response to God's love. The Lord teaches believers how to show his love to others, to our friends, family, and even our enemies. God's love is unconditional; his love is very different from human love that we experience with one another because it is not based on feelings. He doesn't love us because we please him. He loves us simply because he is love."

    It's transmitted by essentially any contact, especially with moist pustules. It did seem to start with male homosexuals (amazing about how gay bashers never mention lesbian porn... would pay good money to see their pornhub searches!), possibly after a single infected individual had contact with multiple others at a sex party. But any sexual contact with an infected person can spread it, as can casual, nonsexual contact.

    Are you saying monkeypox is a punishment from "gawd (tm)" for gay butt sex? Or is it just a run of the mill virus, spread as run of the mill viruses spread?

    PS... I've been to hundreds (thousands?) of sex parties, all of which included girl on girl action and some of which included boy on boy action, and to date haven't even caught a cold. Nor do I know anyone who has. The worst result I'm aware of is someone I know getting a DUI trying to drive back to their hotel, when they should've ubered instead.

    Do you believe homosexual contact (I assume you mean sex) is the only way one can get monkey pox?

    I couldn't care less what you or anyone else considers "disgusting". It's certainly your right to think so, even if it is beyond stupid.

    What I do care about is when you and/or others try to legislate your disgust into laws that criminalize things just because you find them disgusting. I'm sorry to inform you but that does not rise to the level of "compelling governmental interest". Which is lawyerese for "it's nonya".
