Lincoln's ending of slavery isn't a reasoning. It's a historical fact.

Respectfully, I wasn't referring to Lincoln's ending slavery. I was referring to any inference that racism is to be associated with a certain party affiliation, "Which side were the Confederates supported by?"

So in response and in rejection of any such inference, I am pointing out that it is the carnal mind with a carnal reasoning serving carnal ends, where negative prejudice forms and is served, and it is therefore not a product of any particular political party affiliation.

To elaborate further on this thought that I have presented, please consider the nuance in this rhetorical question (You don't have to answer it)..., Are you saying that to be for a Democrat is to be for a racist, or are you saying there were Democrats who did a decent job as elected officials in representing the majority constituency in the south which was mostly racist?

I really wish that there was a "thumbs down" icon.

Nope, I am saying not every protester is protesting for the cause. Is all I am saying.
That goes without saying. But you also said it should be illegal.

Yes if you protest for money, you are not caring about the reasons behind protest. The paid protesters are there to incite craziness. The forces that be want America to surrender soveignity or be destroyed. America as is right now is in way of one world everything. If America falls to the beast America will be second beast from revelation causing all to take the mark, the microchip. I know how crazy that sounds. That is the truth as I know from what I have seen and heard.

Is the Kingdom of God over too? Or is it all about America?
No is not over. Am praying God gives us Christians more time to witness.

Because if people are getting paid to protest. That is wrong, and should be illegal.

That WOULD be wrong. How much of the protests do you think are made up of these "fake" protestors?

And secret payment so nobody will know, and they won't even have to pay taxes!

"No need to worry about 1099 or W9s. We organize and securely pay all protesters with secret Bitcoin currency."
Did you scroll down? It’s satire? So are you a Poe?

I simply asked you a question about your point.
I have no idea. Most likely the paid protesters are the ones trying to incite violence and lawlessness. In my humble opinion.

OK. Fair enough. I wonder how many of your fellow parishioners in your church are paid to be there. This also seems like an important topic to cover as well. It surely must be some amount, right?
