He freed the Jewish slaves, not the American ones. Christians supported them being locked up, claiming God agreed.Why? God freed slaves.God hasn't ever married two folks of the same sex.
It is interesting to note that all of the arguments used against same gendered marriage were also used against interracial marriage.Never said that from time to time they didn't get anything right.They were right on Prop 8.
But you got these judges who need to be stripped of their abilities to make rulings on anything.
But then again, the more Sodom and Gomorrahish this country gets, the quicker Jesus can come on back.
Well, you were commenting on conservative judges craziness and not following the spirit of the law. You seemed to be referring to this judge.
Frederick Douglass said:I am filled with unutterable loathing when I contemplate the religious pomp and show, together with the horrible inconsistencies, which everywhere surround me. We have men-stealers for ministers, women-whippers for missionaries, and cradle-plunderers for church members. The man who wields the blood-clotted cowskin during the week fills the pulpit on Sunday, and claims to be a minister of the meek and lowly Jesus. The man who robs me of my earnings at the end of each week meets me as a class-leader on Sunday morning, to show me the way of life, and the path of salvation. He who sells my sister, for purposes of prostitution, stands forth as the pious advocate of purity. He who proclaims it a religious duty to read the Bible denies me the right of learning to read the name of the God who made me. He who is the religious advocate of marriage robs whole millions of its sacred influence, and leaves them to the ravages of wholesale pollution.
The warm defender of the sacredness of the family relation is the same that scatters whole families -- sundering husbands and wives, parents and children, sisters and brothers -- leaving the hut vacant and the hearth desolate. We see the thief preaching against theft, and the adulterer against adultery. We have men sold to build churches, women sold to support the gospel, and babes sold to purchase Bibles for the poor heathen! All for the glory of God and the good of souls!
God didn't free the slaves, Liberals did.Why? God freed slaves.God hasn't ever married two folks of the same sex.
Too bad the priests of the era didn't agree with you.A slave is a slave. The American slaves are free because God allowed for them to be free.
This is actually a victory for Republicans, conservative type, teabagger members. You wanted government out of the lives of individuals. You wanted strict adherence to the Constitution. Well guess what, you got it. Now stop your whining.
Well, for short, the judge in this case used an imaginary definition of the 14th ammendment to over-rule the will of the people to grant abominations. We will see.If one wants to use the "Biblical" definition as the only valid definition.
This is TIC...right?God didn't free the slaves, Liberals did.
My point is that many in the Bible Belt behave like the Pharisees - holding onto legalistic, literal tradition and ideals, instead of love, compassion, and equality.Thus hell. So what's your point?
