• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Nobody is comparing ancient Hebrew to "every other" English translation, There are various English translations regarded as more or less authoritative by the various Christian denominations and these different slightly in their wording but none so much with each other as with this State version.
You're entitled to your opinion.

ORLY?

Where in the Constitution did the States concede their right to religious freedom to the Federal Government?
What are you talking about? The state governments follow the same Constitution as the Feds. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...
People have religious freedom, governments shall make no law.

The States write the Constitution for the Feds.

Let's examine what you just presented very carefully.

How many times need I remind you that the several States changed the situation in 1868?

when they ratified the 14th Amendment.

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States

Wrong.

If you go back and read the full context of the conversation; you should be able to see that it is of the utmost relevance.

Is the Louisana law in Hebrew? I don't think so.

If you read for context; maybe you would understand the difference.
Oh, I get it. Instead of actually addressing what I wrote, this post is an attempt to use vague innuendo to distract from it by pretending that the problem is that I have some sort of mental deficiency. Petty personal attacks. Par for the course when the facts get in the way of the right wing narrative.

Well that is clear as mud. Did you have a point?

It appears that you are insinuating that state legislatures do not have to bother with the First Amendment of the Constitution because they are not Congress. LOL
