I will when you can show me the word "homosexuals" in the original Hebrew / Greek bible...


Reminds me of a quote from a Douglas Adams book.

"Some factual information for you. Have you any idea how much damage that bulldozer would suffer if I just let it roll straight over you?"
"How much?" said Arthur.
"None at all," said Mr. Prosser.

It doesn't matter how loudly you insist on failing to comprehend how the rest of our government works.
It's still going to work that way...

homosexual sex is described pretty clearly and condemned and or prohibited on each occasion.
most honest folks can't miss it.

tyrannical gov't = bulldozer on religious rights you say?
uh yeah, that's the problem.

the main reason many religious folks LEFT Europe for America to escape the bulldozer of Gov't that doesn't like the practice of some religious folks.
Conform or the Gov't will crush your with Jail, Fines, loss or property and Jobs for those folks that are apostates from the modern secular church of homosexual rights doctrine. One must RECANT and obey or else.

Didn't answer the question I asked, did you.
And the reason you didn't answer that leading question is the same reason OftenCold's leading question is irrelevant.

BTW, I personally agree that the bible is against homosexual sex.
Just like it endorses slavery and has misogynist themes and supports genocide in multiple examples.



It's amusing to see you rant against that ...
... but when the legislation has provided the same protection against religious discrimination for a long time, that goes ignored...

OC is correct here.
your comment does not apply.
the bill of rights clears says the gov't will not interfere with the FREE EXERCISE of religion, and will not ESTABLISH a religion.
this is not "separation of church and state" as imagined, misunderstood and applied by people today.

the Bible's view of homosexuality is --as you say-- is clear on it's meaning and wording as well.

So your point has no merit foundit66

"separation of church and state" is NOT in the constitution with the words or meaning that many imply.
But condemnation of homosexuality IS in the Bible as clear a day.

, take it up in other threads please.


since this is the cartoon thread i'll keep the reply short.
Apples and Oranges.

The "Not Your Body" has no right to live inside of "Your Body" (stealing "Your Body's" food and endangering it). While current laws don't require it the "Not Your Body" can be removed unharmed and intact and because no act of aggression is committed against "Not Your Body" then it's not murder. Even if "Not Your Body" dies from natural causes after being removed from "Your Body", which always happens prior to viability, it still isn't murder because it was unharmed and intact when removed.

We could change the laws but of course it's rather stupid because prior to viability the fetus will die of natural causes anyway. Logic dictates that laws requiring removal "intact and without harm" are illogical if the fetus is going to die of natural causes after removal anyway.

Based upon the corruption, brutality, inhumanity, immorality, dishonesty, and incompetence of the Trump administration the White House is the dirtiest house in America and there's no known cleanser that with remove the stains of the Trump Administration.

Yes, and AIDS was supposed to "explode" into the Straight Community.

Part of the problem is that some people keep trying the substitution you just did.
It doesn't say "establish A religion".
It says "establishment OF religion". Which is a more stringent requirement than restricting against establishing A religion.

NO aspect of religion may be established in government.

I've pointed out the Lemon Test before.

I'm going to say this a second time.
I agree on this point.


It is a valid interpretation of the first amendment.
You don't like it? Amend the constitution.


So, you want to argue one thing in the Political Cartoons thread, but not another...


No.
You keep it short for the same reason you refuse to address it in non-cartoon threads.
Cause you have no freakin' defense on the issue.
Admittedly, you aren't alone in that aspect. But ...
I think there are a couple other people who will talk about it but they admit those laws are also problematic by the standards they put forth.

Christians enact legislation that prevents businesses from discriminating against Christians (and other religions). This legislation has been in effect and enforced for well over 50 years.
No heinous intent assumed.

People enact the same type of legislation which prevents businesses from discriminating against gays and straights.
This legislation is assumed to be heinous and hateful and targeted against making Christians lose their religion!


A business can't discriminate against Christians? No comment.
A business can't discriminate against gays? OMG! It's an effort to coerce beliefs...
