    And further to answer the top question that was Engel v. Vitale 6-1 vote from the liberal Warren Court

    If you'll notice the pattern that it was Democrats passing laws that erroded our collective moral consciousness prayer in schools targeting the nuclear family

    I don’t know of anywhere it’s legal to hunt deer with a 30 rd mag so you aren’t missing out on anything. I’m not really a hunter but I have a bunch of 20 and 30 rd mags I use a lot. I would like a few 5 and 10 rd AR mags for certain applications but haven’t felt like I need them bad enough to spend the money.

    I have to do depredation hunts sometimes in the early winter so if you ever need another whitetail in the freezer let me know...

    More baseless claims.
    Oh wait, you might use Venezuala.

    No legitimate political candidate or party is promoting marxism, stalinism, etc.
    This is 2019, those RW 1990s scare tactics are last millenia.

    Give it a rest. Religious belief isn't a free pass to break laws. That is such a dead horse. But I get it's all you got.

    Nothing is amended and no religious rights are restricted. We are a secular nation and laws of nation and state still have to be abided by.

    They have the free exercise to practice religion. But no religion can practice politics. People of religion can, not the religions themselves.

    Public schools belong to the public. The public is not a religion.
    There are 1000s of religions. To pray to 1000 gods would take up the school day. No time for real learning.
    What does the other points you made have to do with practicing or not practicing religion?

    And who removed prayer? The liberal Warren Court

    A core part of religion is the nuclear family and the 1969 California Family law act brought on no fault divorce and the 1974 hr 17045 allowed the feds to use irs to come after fathers. Those laws were passed by mostly Democrats

    He can't deny service based on skin color either. What's the difference?


    They don't have a right to profit without taxation. They are businesses and should be subject to tax laws just like any other business. They don't get more rights than anyone else or other businesses just because they scam their people with crackpottery.

    Stalinism was Socialism given time to ripen.
    Maoism was Socialism given time to ripen.

    No one will admit they are promoting authoritarian control of the economy and people. Just have to look at the actors and who they have tried to silence. 10 Socialists tried to silence Rush Limbaugh by writing bots to flood his sponsors with Tweets. Socialists attack conservative lawmakers at restaurants, at their homes. Socialists like Creamer incited violence at Trump rallies. This is stuff of the last century brought back by people who claim to be Progressive ,,, not realizing there was never a racist to compare with Woody, their patron saint. Since they haven't been taught history, they don't have an appreciation for their ancestry.

    Oh, and about Venezuela ,,, Hugo claimed Obama was to his left ideologically. Not sure what left of Communism is, but it doesn't sound like fun.

    And if you look at the statistics.....more black families were intact. Then after the "War on Poverty" and the great government solution they declined to where they are today. If something works, you emulate it. You do not denounce it and separate it due to a racist agenda. So the government solution was to pay black mothers to have babies out of wedlock, abort more black babies and keep the survivors on the "Government Plantation". Statistics show that. They would have been far better off if they had imitated June and Ward Clever.

    It is a sad admission, that the morality of humans is tied to the fear instilled by religion. Morality should be a logical, intelligent, rational decision based on the reality that we must live in a civilized manor if we expect others to do likewise..

    Uh, abort more and have more kids???? How does one do that ???

    BTW, June and Ward were fictional characters and it's easier said than done to somehow magically "imitate" them....how? By being white and wealthy? Gee, that would be a great imitation...

    Problem is, your purported "evolution" has no direction, no soul and no anchor. It could even evolve into cannibalism once again. That's really not far off. Assisted suicide is in the present discussion as well as terminating children after birth. Some countries are even considering necrophilia..

    It takes a degree of humility. You only get that if first you ascribe to a higher power.

    The thread is about moral decay. From a religious aspect one could say Democrats were behind it and I've cited the rulings.

    Your top post is alot of words to justify exactly what I said which is that it was a liberal Warren Court ruling that took prayer out of school


    "So you believe in religious-based forced marriage. What a shock."

    I love it when the argument devolves into being about the poster because it shows that the point can't be argued with facts

    Covenents are made to be honored....what a shock. No one forces anyone to say "until death do we part". Very many do though.

    Matthew 6:6
    “"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.

    While you have your Bible open.....now look up scripture about "corporate prayer". If you have a problem get back to me.

    If you don't believe in divorce then that is believing in forcing people to stay married...

    This is a tired debate which in the end always ends the same way... faith... which is the belief in what cannot be proven.

    A loaded question or complex question is a question that contains a controversial or unjustified assumption (e.g., a presumption of guilt).[1]

    Aside from being an informal fallacy depending on usage, such questions may be used as a rhetorical tool: the question attempts to limit direct replies to be those that serve the questioner's agenda.[2] The traditional example is the question "Have you stopped beating your wife?"

    Lol wow

    "Ad hominem (Latin for "to the person"),[1] short for argumentum ad hominem, typically refers to a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself."
