OT Roe V Wade In Trouble

[ABM]

That's what religions are.

Definition of cult:
a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.

I'm not into religion(s). I have a personal relationship with Christ.

 

[riverman]

Not necessarily. Another example of a cult would be Jehovah Witness.

you are an example so I can see why you have a hard time recognizing it. Being a MAGA cult member is much more dangerous than a religious doctrine.

 

[theprunetang]

Technically, I view Mormonism as a cult.

You are sooooo close.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

There are distinct differences. You can Google it.

Lol of course. There are differences amongst many versions of Christianity.

That's fine with me, as long as you don't try to control others based on that personal relationship.

Once you do that it is no longer about you personally, and it become very personal to those you're trying to control.

Mormons actually get really annoyed at the multiple wives line. That's such a small radical group that actually does that.

They also believe women dont go to heaven without being married to a man.

Honestly, do you believe I've ever done that in here?

If you're supporting politicians who are perceived to be using religion to control people, and pointing to your religious convictions as the reason why you are supporting said politicians, then you will understandably be perceived to be using religion to control people.

There are a lot of perceptions out there, my man.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

There are a lot of perceptions out there, my man.

True enough. Just trying to explain why others might see your posts in here differently than you do.

 

[ABM]

True enough. Just trying to explain why others might see your posts in here differently than you do.

And that's OK.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Honestly, do you believe I've ever done that in here?

Supporting politicians and laws which do that means you are doing it.

You willingly give them power to control others with your public support and your vote.

 

[Phatguysrule]

If you're supporting politicians who are perceived to be using religion to control people, and pointing to your religious convictions as the reason why you are supporting said politicians, then you will understandably be perceived to be using religion to control people.

This also supports the belief that the politician is using religion to control people.

IMO, the best thing for a person in this situation who doesn't want their religion to be associated would be to very publicly denounce these things as not supported by your religion and make a concise argument as to why.

So, you believe DeSantis is this big, bad boogeyman Fascist who wants to have control over everyone?

At any rate, I found this piece indicating he is Catholic. OK, well, so is Biden, so there's that.

Hitler had "a personal relationship with Christ." He was a self-proclaimed nondenominational German Christian. In his "personal relationship with Christ" he called Jesus the "Aryan Fighter" and rejected the Jewish elements in the old testament.

In ABM's defense, he does not appear to wear the same mustache as Hitler, so we have one way to tell them apart.

They are 3, and yet 1. The unholy trinity - ABM, Hitler, John Wayne Gacy.

Oh, I’m sure he was a fan of “Two Corinthians” just like Trump. Both real Bible scholars.

 

[calvin natt]

There’s never been a more anti-Christlike public official than Trump. It is truly amazing the party of Christian values bullshit is pro Trump. The most ass backwards group in American history

Biden is publicly supporting a woman's right to choose. Biden is publicly opposed to restricting those rights.

I'm not judging anybody based on their religion.

That's good. Although, religion - as a whole - can come in many different flavors and viewpoints.

 

[crandc]

A person whose top priority is forcing women to carry pregnancy against our will. Who supports banning books. Agrees schools should not say gay or teach anything that makes white people uncomfortable. Who wants to end marriage equality. Dictate internal policies to business. Wants to prohibit parents from taking their children to entertainment he disapproves of.

If that isn't using religion to force your views onto others, what is,?

There are many varieties of cancer, as well.

ABM's version of Jesus is interesting. He's got time to come down to ABM, awash him in light, and start a personal relationship with him. But doesn't have time for a school shooter or any of the victims.
