Ignorant?

Comment comment by markmcb on 08 February 2006

Hmmm ... I definitely didn't expect to see so many votes for #2, especially since there are none for #1 and they're pretty close to being the same. I don't mean this as an attack, but rather I mean this in the true definition of the words: if you voted for anything other than 3, 4 or 5, I'd say you're either arrogant, self-centered, or ignorant. I'm willing to get into a discussion, but I really don't think it's necessary. Should you choose to argue though, please be prepared to support Iran, Palestine, and the other contries/factions on the long list of religious-based governments. Just to be clear, I'm not saying God shouldn't be an important part of people's lives, I just don't think a God should be cited for "why" we do things in our government.

RE: Ignorant? by Anonymous :: NR0

THink about it - If I beleive that God created the heavens and the earth, why would I allow man to make laws about Him? What kind of thought process allows me to think I can over rule God with my laws.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."-- The First Amendment

Since the 60's we have changed that to be that Christianity is outlawed by the state. Completely the opposite of the actual first amendment. Even our Supreme Court has admited to an about face over this issue. According to the First Amendment the US congress cannot prohibit the exhibition of the ten commandments or the nativity scene on Federal land. But this is what happens when we think we can legislate God. Now we think we can outlaw Him.

As far as the argument that because I am a Christian I have to give credibility to other religions I would point out that it does not say that in the Bible. It says to love people. It also says to resist any attempt to coerce the Word of God into a compromise. I do not have to defend all religions, just the one I think is right. It is the same thing the secular people do - they adamantly state that Christians have no right to religious freedom in America and yet they want the freedom they deny us. THe freedom to live at peace with our neighbors and follow our God. They just have a different God, be it the dollar or the 'divinity of mankind'.
