Religion in America

[cradleandshoot]

Church goers leave waitress scripture in place of tip. What is wrong with these people?

“If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it.”

― Stephen Colbert

I've met a handful of real Christians in my life (almost all Jesuits), and it's a thing to behold. Amazing humans.

These people are not Christians....and they're not even trying.

Judge others lest ye be judged yourself. Your wading into dangerous territory when it comes to defining who the real Christians are.. The Crusaders claimed they were the true messengers of Christ. How did that work out for the Catholic Church?

Dave Chappelle was attacked on stage last night by a woke ‘trans’ activist at The Hollywood Bowl.

Couple differences this time.

1. The attacker was arrested

2. Before he could be arrested, Chappelle’s security bent the guy’s arm backward which you can see here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... ge-LA.html

All of this is a result of the Democratic Party’s insistence that ‘words are violence’. Vote them all out, even dogcatcher.

Wow, this aged like warm milk. Never too early to prematurely celebrate I guess.

Isaiah Lee, rap name NONAME_Trapper, has a track titled "MAGA my N***a" with a common refrain "Why is everybody always hatin’ on my president" released in 2020 - you can listen to it on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlbHSgL11HU

He also wrote a song titled "Dave Chappelle".

I don't know many Democrats who are on the MAGA train

... this is typical bullsh*t for the DailyRag. It is a totally untrustworthy POS. KellyAnne uses it as one of her gotos.

Yeah, Isaiah is some extra kind of MAGA nut!!! You can just tell by an incoherent rap song!!!

Meanwhile, who has Chappelle triggered the last few years for his running commentary on trans activists?! Would that be the entire Left??? Yup.

The “Original Sin” of the Religious Right

It was school segregation, not abortion, that brought Christians together in prayer and a quest for political power.

Those who have hoped and prayed for the end of Roe, regardless of their politics’ limited efficacy in protecting life, may be tempted still to consider this moment a victory, however it came about. But consider this bit of history from America’s tradition of religious liberty: In 1785, the Virginia General Assembly considered a proposed tax, the proceeds of which would be used to support “teachers of the Christian religion.” James Madison, who later drafted the First Amendment, advocated in vigorous opposition. For Madison, separation of church and state is an inextricable element of religious liberty. Not only does it protect equality, but it protects religion itself from political degradation and manipulation:

During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution. …

What influence in fact have ecclesiastical establishments had on Civil Society? In some instances they have been seen to erect a spiritual tyranny on the ruins of the Civil authority; in many instances they have been seen upholding the thrones of political tyranny; in no instance have they been seen the guardians of the liberties of the people.

Madison’s warning of what might be wrought by the government entangling itself with religion applies with equal force to religious institutions that seek to entangle themselves in the government. Ordinary members of the religious right are no doubt sincere in their convictions to end Roe, but the movement itself was born out of temptation to power. And victory by way of such corruption carries a poison pill. Manipulation of this sort is antithetical to both religious integrity and religious freedom. It’s not a coincidence Madison also warned that requiring others to live by our values can do more to harm religion’s reach than to encourage others to uphold it. And indeed, consistent with Madison’s predictions, the binding of the religious right to the Republican Party has already driven Americans away from organized faith.

so what...you lying doesn't make that more interesting.

[cradleandshoot]

I'm only wondering, when it comes to abortion... WWJD??? Would he be okay with it?? Would he simply look at the murder of unborn babies as a reproductive rights issue?? Is this the same Jesus that angrily chased the money changers out of his Fathers house??? WWJD or say????????? I'm a failure as a Catholic and have had more questions about organized religion than there are answers. If ANYONE out there thinks that Jesus would be okay abortion, please tell me why. I would love to hear your explanation.

... he never once mentioned it (abortion) according to the gospels. You would think he would have if he had a problem with it. Maybe he was just too busy with the money changers.

Maybe you could tell us what Patton would do.

Not only does Jesus not mention it, it's not mentioned anywhere else in the Bible, Old or New...and it's not as if people haven't stopped pregnancies on purpose for eons...they didn't just 'miss it" in the Bible, after all they were meticulous in all sorts of other restrictions and admonishments.

FTR it is mentioned in the Old Testament. It is one of the 10 suggestions formerly known as the 10 commandments. I believe suggestion #1 is thou shalt not kill... So it actually was mentioned. Who knows, maybe God was in a bad mood and being nit picky when he handed those 10 suggestions to Moses. . FTR, I did look up the word commandment. There is not alot of ambiguity in the word.

[RedFromMI]

It is actually commandment #6, not #1, and a better translation is you shall not murder.

(Actually Roman Catholics have it at #5).
