    They were prototypical middle class family. Mother stayed home, provided social guidance and helped kids with schoolwork. Father was the bread winner, provided career and business guidance to the kids. Not a matter of race. No doubt in wealthier families, business or business travel made the father more scarce.

    All the above changed with the feminazis and Johnson, whose goal was to keep people who were down in their place and voting Democrat, even though he specifically referenced the black vote. What he said about blacks voting Democrat for 200 years applied to poor people in general. That's why illegal immigration is so important to Democrats. Illegals keep blacks down while providing a new permanent underclass.

    Why anyone would vote Democrat is beyond me.

    Questions have question marks at the end, this statement didn't :


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


    So, what is erroneous about that statement?

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

    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...






    They were fictional characters.





    No, "all that" never existed for most humans....and certainly never existed for everyone in human history.....it's a nice fairy tale about how humans should all be clones and obey......not practical at all...

    No nor would I say it was any better than it is in China. I try to avoid apples and oranges comparisons. Christianity is unlike any other world religion and its impact on society much different.

    Because his religion doesn't consider miscegenation sinful. But you knew that.



    Yes they do.

    Eh. I went to school in NYC in an area where every home but one for 3 blocks square except one was Jewish. 3 Nuns lived in the one house that wasn't Jewish. My elementary school classes had 31 kids, 30 Jewish kids + John, a Catholic kid. Because the schools were run by the state, my school stayed open for John during the high holy days. I often thought it odd, but it didn't bother me ,,,, nor did starting the day with the pledge of allegiance and the Lord's Prayer.

    It was exciting moving to Norfolk, VA at 14 to a 30:1 mix the other way around. Never bothered me one way or another. I didn't like the fact that Jewish people were considered minorities, but not protected. So, we could be discriminated against via minority quotas, but we fell victim to Affirmative Action. I was thankful to have a mother and father in the home to teach me right from wrong and give me an internal rudder to rely on when they were gone. There were times that I needed to remember the guidance my father gave me when he wasn't around.

    Johnson made sure blacks in particular and the poor in general didn't have the benefit of a father in the home. The privilege I had was that I wasn't targeted for failure by Johnson's Great Society. Whew. He was the only President in my life that I feared. Carter screwed me as I was buying my first home during his stagflation, but Johnson was scary.

    Religion is about community, just as family is. Most mass murderers are loners who lack interaction with community of any variety. So, it's no surprise that the mob that promotes social dysfunction of the sort defined by loners would use community as a wedge issue. Community flies in the face of central government control.

    Liberals aren't happy unless they can control peoples' thoughts and actions. People who stray from the the rules of the Liberal thought police are subject to verbal, physical and sometimes economic violence. That's why my happiest moment when I'm running around is when I pass the local chick-fil-a and observe that cars are lined up around the block every day despite being a target of the thought police. I happily take my better half to Hobby Lobby to shop.

    No one is imposing themselves on you but you, so get over it and try to be an American.

    faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.Guess you are correct for your frame of reference.

    Oh you mean the period when everyone had to pray in public to a God they might not know or understand? Yeah the forced participation in a religious act was eliminated yet it has never stopped one person from praying to their higher powers...

    They could not emulate June and Ward.
    They were not allowed to associate in normal public.

    We were discussing the evolution of human charactor I thought. That discussion would be for another thread. You could explain there how your ancestor climbed out of the slime.

    Christians fought to own black people in the USA. I don't think their morality is any better than any one or any other country or religion. Or non religion.

    Most don't follow the teaching of Jesus. If they did, there'd not been discrimination going on in the USA.

    It was evolution of human development as a whole. Until communication evolved, there was no god. Without human's evolving, we'd be in caves, likely have no fire. All sorts of things would not exist if humans didn't evolve.
    You said my purported. As if I made up human evolution. I did not.

    There are certain things that have traditionally been considered moral for quite a long time such as telling the truth, but apparently that is no longer a moral issue under the reign of Trump.

    That is just but one example.

    And that is indeed the perplexing dilemma we are faced with when the words and actions of those who claim to be champions of morality are blind to the hypocrisy they practice for political convenience.

    How does one even communicate with them?

    And so how does "practicing" hypocrisy further one's faith?

    Right all I'm saying is the argument that Democrats helped isn't totally baseless

    Generally though what America is going through has been seen in past societies and also people in general are amoral

    Right and it was stopped by a liberal Warren supreme court. That would be a point for Democrats being a part of our moral and religious decline
