    No one is being attacked. A company trying to be inclusive by wanting people to say 'happy holiday's' (as silly as it is) is not attacking anyone. You're being overdramatic

    They are self righteous and think all must live like they say.
    But have some very weird traditions. Like slavery. Witch hunts. Raping little boys.

    Hypocrisy is a term that best describes those.
    A sin that is a no no.

    Nice dance. The left (in general) attack Christian beliefs and yet will attack businesses for not allowing a Muslim the opportunity to bow down to Mecca five times per day while at work. They would sue the business for not making that accommodation for the Muslim but you're ok with defending a business's right to not let their employees say "Merry Christmas". That's the whole point.

    LOL. So, you want to make sure that others are not victims but Christians need to stop playing victims.

    Based on what evidence? Hell, when did I say I "defend a business's right to not let their employees say "Merry Christmas"? A telling sign someone has no argument is when they start making things up about the other person. Don't do that. It only makes you look the fool.

    Playing victim about religions, when you went out of your way to say you are not religious.
    Stop dancing.
    Discrimination is not a christian belief.

    Talk about dancing. I am not a member of any religion. You don't need to be a member of any religion to believe in God. Your narrow mind can only accept that if you believe in God then you have to be religious and you have to believe in the Bible. That's just not true. But, if you can stand up for the rights of others who are not like you, such as gays, etc, then why can't I stand up for the rights of others who are not like me?

    I am sure you celebrate Christmas because it is the only example known of when abstinence didn't work.

    I'm not really keeping track of that count, but I think your statement is not accurate. There were no pistols at Las Vegas in the official narrative, and pictures of empty brass and so forth showed AR type weapons.

    On the OP's point about the AR, he's right. But all those who accept the official narratives without question are making a grave error in their analyses. Numerous of the 'mass shootings' were false flag operations, and the agenda was gun control, personified by the AR.

    Yet you whine about christians not being allowed to discriminate.
    Your posts about religions, the ones you like and don't like speak volumes about your religious views.

    Ummmmmmmmm, you can't back up one word of the crap you wrote. Prove where I whine about Christians not being allowed to discriminate. Prove where I said which religions I like and which ones I don't. None of that never happened. You have an active imagination. Basically all I said was that the left discriminate against Christians and tolerate every other religion.

    The left doesn't attack christian beliefs. Many themselves are christian.
    The big complaint about values being attacked is they are against christians discriminating based on those in the protected class.

    So why not back up the crap you post. Where's all those attacks on christian beliefs?

    "Protected class"? I thought Jesus loved everyone equally?

    It is a requirement to remain a card carrying member.

    However, I will admit that I don't understand how they feel "attacked" when they perceive something as exclusionary but they are totally cool with labeling and excluding the people that don't look, love and/or worship the way they do. Therefore, they are hard-pressed to get any of us to give a damn about their feelz because they don't give a damn about anyone else's feelz. /smdh

    In other words, the left stands up for everyone but Christians. The left will defend a Muslim's right to take the time to bow down to Mecca 5 times per day while at work but if a Christian wanted to take time off 5 times per day for prayer, they would be attacked for it. And, I say that as someone who is technically not even Christian because God and Jesus are two different things.

    Nicely said but most of what you included in your post was said by Joe Knows not D. Cervantes.

    I always find it hilarious, when a person comes out, and says, I'm this, but.... and then has a view point that contradicts what they just said they were.

    "The left is gonna jump at this thread like white on rice"
    "I already know the lefty stance on these things and I want these answers from REPUBLICANS. So if you are on the left, you can kindly leave (maybe go make a Jan 6th thread or go protest letting babies living or whatever it is you peeps do on your free time)."

    Impressive word play, and reverse Psychology, but it won't work on every Republican.

    1. Well, this isn't China, or a dictatorship. How many children a family can have is up to them. This isn't the democrat party, or fake news, that encourages women now to get their tubes tied. Abortion is sick and immoral, and even Heaven has borders called Gates.

    2. reverse psychology and republican establishment someone might be.

    3.a person says, I'm not anit-gun, but they sit there and lecture people about guns, and about how it should be ok to band some guns, and acts like huge a republican. is either a closet democrat, or part of the republican establishment traitors and rhinos. lol. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it's probably a duck.

    4. It's Jewish people. Jews is a racial slurr. If someone is going to lecture us upon religion with government, please get it right.

    Believing in Christ has made America as great as it is, for as long as it has been. Ultimately, allowing us to help so many other countries from living in complete and utter poverty, keeping other nations from starving to death. giving healthcare to other nations. That's from a capitalist country. Not a Marxist Left wing Socialist Godless country.

    The average person in America does believe in God, and that is why we're such a giving and helping nation.

    Some people that act republican, and yet are really democrats, remind me of ray epps yelling for people to storm the capital on jan 6th. He never got into trouble, whilst other people did, for peacefully protesting. he got protected from the liberal media, and they got thrown in jail.

    politically very impressive word play and reverse psychology. Claps hands. "impressive, most impressive, but you're not a jedi yet."
