    Listening to non-Christian music...

    Here: I'll post it again. The only thing I copied and pasted was your second commandment. The bible doesn't mean inappropriate pictures, it means any pictures. Any at all. If you take a picture of your dog, you've committed a sin. It is actually quite specific. Note "graven image" and...

    Listening to non-Christian music...

    Firstly, what is a "copy pasta"? Do you mean "copy and paste"? Secondly, of course it's popular. It's your second commandment. It's supposed to be one of the moral rules Christians have to follow. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't breaking one of the ten commandments a sin? This is one of...

    Are christians actually "persecuted"?

    Sure. Here we go. When you click the quote button, you get the wall of text that was in the original post. You may have noticed the tags with square brackets, but you probably didn't want to mess with them in case something went horribly wrong. You see this at the beginning of the post...

    Are christians actually "persecuted"?

    Time for a crash course on evolution. First, we start with abiogenesis, which isn't evolution. This is basically how life came to be. The Miller-Urey experiment boils down to sticking the gases you would find on a primitive Earth, creating a spark and seeing what happened. What happened was...

    Are christians actually "persecuted"?

    Oh, dear. I'm out of my depth here. Why are you telling me this? Seriously, you need to talk to someone in real life about these issues. You can't spill your guts to strangers on an Internet forum. The fact that you're doing so means you're not over it, and you may even need to see a...

    Are christians actually "persecuted"?

    Given that my question was about milk, not really. I answered it. You're not being persecuted in a country where 76% of the citizens are Christian. And what's a "fake" Christian? If they persecute Christians, how can they pretend to follow that religion?

    Are christians actually "persecuted"?

    It's not. That's not what I said. But not telling the state that you're doing so is against the law. Can you see why this is? Imagine a couple who set up a bible study group for the purpose of scamming people. Every week they send round the offering tin, and like sheep people put their money...

    Listening to non-Christian music...

    Not a sin. How could it be? However, it is a sin to take pictures with your camera or your phone, as well as creating any form of drawing or painting. This is according to the Second Commandment:

    Are christians actually "persecuted"?

    This is my point exactly. You shouldn't go to an unauthorised dealer to buy food products. So why on Earth do you want the right to sell milk without a permit? But then, a few posts up the page, you said this: So how is selling milk to neighbours any different to selling it to randomers...

    Are christians actually "persecuted"?

    Uh, no it isn't. Raw milk can contain a lot of pathogens. Milk in the store is pasteurised, which essentially means they heated it to kill all the bacteria, so it doesn't make you sick. There are quite a few diseases you can catch from raw milk: Milk and Infections -- A Guide to Milk-borne...

    Are christians actually "persecuted"?

    Your source isn't very good, is it? The Last Refuge | Rag Tag Bunch of Conservative Misfits – Contact Info: TheLastRefuge@reagan.com is obviously going to paint a picture where those plucky Christians are right and they're fighting against the law, which is evil and wrong. I did my own...

    Are christians actually "persecuted"?

    Hah, I like that sentence. Sums up beautifully what I can see happening. It seems the most logical explanation, given that around 76% of America is Christian, so persecuting Christians there is physically impossible, given the definition of the word.

    Are christians actually "persecuted"?

    That makes sense. I was wondering who persecutes Christians in America, but looks like they're just using the word wrong.

    Are christians actually "persecuted"?

    Possibly the most intelligent thing I've heard you say. Well, the term is neo-Darwinism, because they found work on genes and alleles after Darwin published his theory that supports it. Ronald Fisher was very good at updating Darwinism, and has my respect. But you should know what the other side...

    Are christians actually "persecuted"?

    Don't worry, you haven't offended me in any way at all. This is the way I debate online. Point-by-point breakdown of the other person's argument. If it helps, you can think of me sipping a cup of tea and playing classical music on my iPod speakers while I reply to you. Just because I disagree...
