The various claims made in Christ's name. Lately these have extended far into the political realm, but even the theological claims vary by denomination.
Since in the end you will have to use force you may find that it is not just the Right who are prepared to resist tyranny. The Constitution commands free exercise of religion for everyone, not just right-wing Christians.
Thank you. At least you will acknowledge that I have expressed that opinion--which is more than I can say for some of the rest of the pro-gun crowd here. Even if you think I'm lying about it (which you probably do) ar least you heard me say it.
It wasn't progressive leftists who declared that we were only pretending to be Christians for political advantage, that was the good Rev. Jeffress, Trump's religious advisor. Marjorie Taylor Green's recent remarks on Christian nationhood were also indicative of the political climate. No, I...
And theological terms with their correct technical meaning where appropriate. What's wrong with that? Why should we not use the accepted definitions for whatever area of specialized knowledge we are discussing?

You are posting in a science forum on a Christian website, one in which non=Christians are entitled to participate. Because it is a science form, scientific definitions of various terms used are besr.
Who? Nobody here that I've noticed. But when science discovers that a theory is wrong, it changes or abandons it. That's what happened to YEC some 200 years ago. And wrong theories don't get to come back just because subsequent theories are also wrong.
I know that not many 18 year old enlistees have the prior weapons experience you claim for yourself. How many high school kids are trained in hand grenades, machine guns and anti-tank weapons?
It does. And the possibility that it might be wrong is built in to every scientific pronouncement.
Though it might not be in prouncements about science made by non-scientists--journalists, schoolteachers, preachers, etc.
