You don't believe in Hell. But that is where you will end up just the same, because you reject the One who can save you.
The Matrix was just a movie.

That conservatives want women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen? That conservatives want dirty air and water? That conservatives use Fox News to disseminate lies?

There is none. But you don't need any evidence if you can convince people that's true without any. And that's what they do. If you hear the same thing said by college professors, politicians, celebrities, and mainstream media, then it sinks in. It doesn't matter that there is never any evidence backing it up. Eventually you just reach a point that you've heard it so much that you figure it must be true. And each new person who accepts it and begins repeating it contributes more to the next person accepting it.

Dude, they are so fervent they are trying to take bites out of your leg!

You do know that slavery still exists today, do you not? But we in America ended it. Even our founders knew it to be wrong. But there were those who would not be easily convinced. It took a civil war to accomplish it.

America did not invent slavery.
We sure as.hell perfected it.

And we had to kill 600k of our own citizens to end it.

So don't tell me that American slavery isn't exceptional. It was.

And Christians made it so exceptional.

You need to include how Muslims want to shove Sharia law on us and how the liberal left is OK with that. You idiots will roll over for anyone to scratch your bellies.

Hypocrisy? Smerz is in Canada and none of this is a concern to him. His Commie country already accepts heathens, Muslims, and other scum religions.

No, it is zealots who want to turn this country into a theocracy that threaten me.

Wrong again. I think the message of the historical Jesus is a wonderful one. It would be even more wonderful if people who claim to believe in him would actually follow it. I see little of the "walk the talk" among the fundamentalists on this board, who are more concerned that everyone else be subjected to the dogma and idolatry that grew up around the religion (and have little to do with the actual message of Jesus) instead of simply loving one another and leaving it at that.

Ah, so you DO get my point that in theocracies, only their religion is allowed. Is that what you want the U.S. to become? Judging by your insistence that only the Christian religion should be allowed to display their symbols and icons on government property, it's apparent that that's exactly what you want. Sorry, but there are those of us who truly love this country and what it stands for who are going to make sure that doesn't happen.

I guess a lot don't know, The Church of Satan does NOT worship Satan, they are Atheists.

If you are going to say A Religion can put up displays, so can ANY "Religion".

For those that don't pay attention, I am a "Christian".
