What part of Christianity isn't compatible with the US Constitution...

"Their version". There are anomalies in every facet of human behavior. Your argument fails.

You can say the same thing about any religion. Most people aren't extremists. But we also have to accept that these texts can be interpreted any number of ways.

so telll me what they believe that makes them "Christian"?.......

According to them, they believe what the Bible says.

Just like the Constitution can be interpreted incorrectly as well. Or a road sign. Or a law against pedohilia. But the bar isn't set that low. You have to show how a reasonable person would interpret a Biblical text, so that that text would be incompatible with the Constitution. That is what That Old Woman claimed, and what a handful of JPP libs agreed with her on.

The difference is that road signs are clear, while religious text is purposely written to be vague.
Religion is also different because it's not about logic or facts, it's about emotional and blind faith. A common argument among Christians is that you can't REALLY understand the Bible unless you read it with the spirit. So basically, they can say it means whatever they want.

Your parents also forced you to shit in a toilet instead of your pants. Such meanies...

yeah, that's the same thing. It is cruel forcing religion and terrible fears of hell and making god angry on a kid. They are not equipped to defend themselves from the propaganda of religion. Of course that is why religions pound it into children. That is when the fear works best and they have the least knowledge to offer arguments. It is cruel to do that to children. You should be ashamed to treat your kids that way.

Keep your government mitts off my religion. It's getting screwed up enough, with all the phonies. You phonies need to keep your mitts off government just the same.

"The part of Christianity that wants prayer in school" isn't backed up with evidence. Sorry that you don't understand how debate works.

Sure it is, asshole. There are large numbers of Christians that advocate prayer in schools. That you are oblivious to that points to your ignorance.

Your question: “What part of Christianity....”

You were given the answer to “what part”. Just got your ass kicked. Twice.

Your question: “What part of Christianity....”

Not "What Christian individual"...

Yet there is only one reasonable interpretation, and it does not support your position...

You mean that there are often nuances. Yet no reasonable interpretation suggests incompatibility with the Constitution...

On the contrary, I am proud that I was tortured in that way by my parents and did the same to my children. Perhaps if you didn't misunderstand Christianity so much you might feel the same way...

Sure it is, asshole. There are large numbers of Christians that advocate prayer in schools. That you are oblivious to that points to your ignorance.

And there are large numbers of people who cheat on their taxes...
