Thread Name: BS: Secularity vs Religion
Subject: RE: BS: Secularity vs Religion
Then I apologize, Amos, I over reacted based on my sense of the trend of the thread. As to impeachment over "violating" the Constitution? Come on, you know how many executive orders and laws initiated by by Presidents have been overturned by the Supreme Court as unconstituional? Not a single impeachment as a result. At that the Supreme Court of California just ruled a Catholic charity was not a religious organization for the purpose of exempting it from hiring laws. If it isn't a religious organization for that, it isn't one for the purposes of withholding Federal funding either.
Bobert, bless you, Jesus went to what His society considered the worst sinners and criminals and accepted them as God's children. Where the religious leaders of his time considered them ruined, irredeemable, Jesus taught that God loved them and would forgive them if they would only give themselves to Him and repent, literally change their ways. His last words to the woman caught in adultry in the passage you quote were "Go and sin no more", not "have a nice day". Hate the sin, love the sinner, right? He was tolerant of human weakness, but not the acceptance of sin. Sorry the message got to you so garbled.
All that's neither here nor there. It's none of you business why anyone thinks gay marriage should not be allowed. You can't tell other people what to think anymore than you want to be told what to think. You don't have to agree, just get enough people to agree with you so you can change the law.
