As a citizen is it both my right and duty to call out the president and any other elected derp who is damaging our country and/or our people. *All* of our ppl, not just certain ones. Just like with those on your side of the aisle, when I get called vile and "vicious" names for my beliefs, they're going to get it right back.
You deflected, of course, from my question with a personal attack. Why do you see disagreements as hate?
I'm with you on molesters. I'll bring the ammo if you'll bring the guns.

How does the world always deduce the opposite? Is it on purpose?
All Christ's teachings are regarding people...of course. Some will believe (trust in Him for our salvation and not in our pride-filled selves and works);
some will be hypocrites without understanding (the ones who think they are all that and a bag of chips in no need of salvation)

Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
See? They think of their religion as some super exclusive club only for them, not you. It's not for that Hindu guy over there ministering to the sick and dying. Not for that Catholic lady over there giving out gift cards and toys to a family whose house just burned down. Not for those foul pagans who just rolled up to the food pantry with a van full of donated food items for their community. It's definitely not for those (mostly Catholic) dirty brown refugee ppl streaming north in desperation for a better life.
It's too bad Heaven isn't real. I'd ask to be reincarnated as a fly to sit on St. Peter's shoulder just to watch their faces when they show up. lol

People who don't believe in Christ or heaven or hell or the Bible yet they throw Scriptures around like frisbees.

lol.. it's amazing what I remember from Catholic grade school.
I went on a spiritual journey of discovery. Buddhism was the most helpful in terms of overcoming addiction
( 8 Fold Noble Path) - but the personal relationship with a god does not exist, nor is the very small of humans that ever achieve enlightenment very satisfying as I age.
So i'm back to the revealed religions at least for the time being -
the exception is Islam which has no real use except rote recitations.

Yes, although that is something only the government can violate and not individual actions. For example, some claimed those opposed to abortion or gay marriage were pushing their religion on them. A person can have an opinion on these topics completed unrelated to their religious beliefs and therefore are not pushing their religion on anyone. Neither is Hobby Lobby pushing its religious views on its employees because it is allowed accommodations in providing free birth control to employees consistent with its religious beliefs while employees still get all the benefits available.
I dislike the tactic of claiming somebody who fails to speak up about the treatment of illegals is not following their religious principles. The person making that claim is really just attacking the person's political views and is also using their own interpretation of the Bible to make that attack. There are too many scriptures that can be interpreted in different ways to translate that into political opinions.
And none of it has anything to do with separation of church and state.
