    So à non story supported by no examples or facts.
    Very convincing.
    I can tell you that in France one's faith is openly expressed and practised. Churches are an integral part of French society , continue to do what they always did on request ) Baptists marriages and funerals plus worship and community service). I personally am involved in a Catholic charity but by no means am Catholic.

    What makes France secular is that they do not get involved in state matters or politics and they do not overtly pronounce their faith in public.
    People of faith are indeed IN politics but they leave their declared faith at the door. They do not operate according to tenets of faith as described in texts or teaching.
    Your premise is not reflective of the truth on the ground in France.

    You know there's little white kids in that video too right?

    So they should sing worshipful praises to his name? I wonder if they could touch his hair? Lol

    You cannot wake those who only pretend to be sleeping. Enjoy your slumber.

    another big yawner xxjeff christians thrive in persecution and defeated the roman empire by serenely being eaten by lions as a profession of faith. if you really seek martyrdom i submit that california is probably not as likely a location as iran or afghanastan.

    more nuns are killed by right wing contra revolutionary death squads than by every secular humanist in north america and europe.

    I love that you had to cut out part of the post

    Can’t bare it?

    If one of these is worship then the other is a full fledged cult — the difference is one group are just children.

    You're what aboutism is irrelevant, therefore I cut it out.

    And you're right the one group that is just children, are being indoctrinated into worship by the adults. They are literally singing praises to Obama's name. Not simply laying hands on the man to pray for him.... They are praying to him.

    If you think laying hands on a man to pray for him is more cult-like than indoctrinating little children to sing praises in Obama's name.... Then I can only repeat what I said earlier.... You cannot wake those who are only pretending to be asleep

    Here is another example of children literally singing praises to Obama's name in savior like adoration. Now you tell me how laying hands on a man to pray for him is more cult-like than this. Go ahead you tell me. When Christians lay hands upon people to pray for them they are praying for that person in God's name. NOT praying TO him...big difference there. But like I said you cannot wake those who are only pretending to be asleep. Are you seeing what's clearly here ?

    Since the god of the left is government this should hardly come as no surprise

    This post needs to be saved to show who perpetuates the unrest.

    That's right.... Christians are supposed to be perfect even in the face of all the ridicule and hate that's slung in their direction....:rolleyes:

    ROFL!

    So you took offense to trump being mentioned as an example of christians worshiping him, threw obama in the mix and are now calling the original subject “what aboutism”

    HAHAHAHAHA

    You pretending your religious made up ritual isn’t cult like but singing is… is simply hilarious

    I hope you didn’t work on your new little slogan too hard as it doesn’t make sense

    You clearly did not watch the videos or you would realize how badly you're losing this completely failed comparison.

    Enjoy your slumber.

    You do not appear to understand what the original subject is.

    You should stop and take a moment, and read your posts sometimes. Act like you are a independent observer
    Because if you and Jefferson are indicative of what a Christian is… that should tell anyone who needs to know about the trajectory of that belief

    nonbelievers don’t claim to be perfect, we don’t claim to speak for a higher power or use those words to justify anything we do or say — thats yall.
    And there are several very stringent passages in the Bible about what those people will receive,
