On second reading, I could see where "Thou shalt not covet" could be a problem for Democratic Socialists, but I think the original point holds.
 
I dunno, the same place one signs up for child molestation and bigotry against women and gays?
 
no, but there's only one that has a systemic problem going back over 100 years in this country and worldwide
 
what is this, a quadruple down?

religion is dumb and causes problems, whether they're first world problems or suicide bombs.

plenty of christian pissing matches happened in Ireland for decades.

christians lynched black people in recent history and beat up gays to this day

NC State Gov. just voted to allow discrimination because of threats to "christian values"

The surpreme court is hearing arguments about how christians are offended that their business' health insurance contracts cover a basic part of modern women's healthcare even when the government is paying for it

Similar to that needle of the eye line and capitalism

But JC was probably just JKing on that one
 
Hell the entire rationale behind slavery in the Americas was to tame those heathens and break them into repenting and finding the lord. Good job followers of Christ.

Killing a person of color who wasn't a Christian was the status quo in the New World for centuries. So jihadi.

Let's not discourage the moral equivalency being drawn between the potty law and mass murder. Religions are bad, amirite? Can hardly tell them apart, I tell ya!

Interesting word, this one.

Question for the moral equivalency types: did you watch the video I linked? The one with the toddler covered in her own mother's blood, crying? Do you want to talk about the potty law, or that?

Please possess the courage that this administration lacks and call this shit what it actually is.
 
I have no problem personally stating that Islam as practiced in most countries is a backwards-ass religion that directly inspires misogyny, violence, oppression and general barbarism. I think that is a true fact. Further, I think that form(s) of Islam is not compatible with Western values and that integrating practitioners thereof into Western societies is a real problem.

What I have trouble understanding is how it serves the national interest of the United States of America to make condemning Islam, much less declaring war on it or spending taxpayer dollars bombing its practitioners, the official foreign policy stance of United States government.

No problem with Paragraph 2, and borderline crestfallen at how little agreement there seems to be on Paragraph 1.

for the record, I agree with both paragraphs.

what make me crestfallen is how myopic Americans are about how they treat their own citizens in favor of the easy condemnation of forces a globe away they have no control over

Is this what you are referring too? Preventing a transgender person from using a bathroom with the sex they identify with rather than their biological sex is hardly limited to Christians opposition.

so, you don't think that allowing discrimination against gays and trans people is related to the "religious freedom" issue? huh.

In an unrelated matter but figured you might be interested, I have several bridges for sale, some of them in up and coming neighborhoods.
