What makes you think that I did not come to the truth?

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Our attitude toward the truth determines the outcome of our lives. If we don’t love the truth, if we resist it, we resist salvation. But if we do love the truth then we embrace salvation and we receive the reward: the crown of life.

Let's try to get back on track. Is it that hard to understand why the Bible cannot be used as a legal source of morality in the U.S.?
The United States isn't a theocracy, so no, the Bible alone should not be used to determine law.

I don't care about this case at all. I replied to the poll. Would I let my Christian kids go somewhere to have a book on transgenerism read to them? Keeping in mind that it will sow seeds into the impressionable mind contrary to the faith we are free to practice and teach them? No, absolutely not. Would I allow them to have this book read to them on top of it having satanic artwork on the cover? Double, triple, absolutely not under any circumstances. That's my decision. My rightful, legal, moral decision. And anyone who has a problem with that can stand outside picketing while I laugh.

Of course that is your right. No one has argued otherwise. What was being discussed was the ham fisted attempt to stop the readings at a library.

are you talking a private libray or a public one?

My understanding of public buildings is that they are taxpayer funded. I want to vote on it, instead of funds being allocated without representation.

Why would you want ice cream?

What the heck is this supposed to mean? You clearly want the mob to make decisions for the library staff. That's what folks opposed to direct democracy are always telling me.

What that means, is that if we both address what the other actually said the conversation will go a lot smoother.

I thought the same thing with the mob rule statement: 'What?!!?!?'

It is public. And like it or not you do not get to vote on every step that they take at such venues. You express your desires when you vote for those that oversee them.

Seriously, can you think of the chaos that would result if every penny ante issue had to be decided by vote?

That is what you advocated. It was clear to me. You want the populace at large to make it a lifetime occupation to decide all public matters.

I'm not currently calling my repensitation, congressman, or local principalities for every single penny. Just this. If I don't like their response I push to have them voted out and new representation that support my ideals put in.

And 'like it or not' if it gets to a vote this stuff is going bye bye.

Voting for and electing officials that hold my views is mob rule?

There you go. That is the way that it is done. Remember you did not propose taking it out on your representative in your earlier post. You wanted to vote on this personally. That is where you proposed mob rule.

EDIT: In case you forgot:

"I want to vote on it, instead of funds being allocated without representation."

That is silly. It is a common knowledge statement. Copy and paste "I want to vote on it" into google and look at the results.

First time I have heard such a claim. And in context your attempt to back up makes no sense.

Make sense now?

It normalises evil, perversion and sin.

Are you talking about the OP story or the right wing Christians who refuse to condemn Donald Trump for his perversion and sin? So, it's NOT okay to judge Trump for his sins, but it is okay to judge LGBT for their sin, is that right? At least the Drag Queen didn't brag about groping someone by their private parts. Yeah, I seriously doubt right wing Christians would have called that locker room banter.

You know, when the right wing Christians who condemn LGBT start being morally consistent in their condemnation of sexual sins, like committing adultery and having affairs with porn stars, then they might have a moral leg to stand on to judge homosexuals and transgenders. But until then...

Yes, it's hard to take some Christians/ people serious, if they are okay with Trumps many sins. What's worsts having to explain Trumps many Stormy's or transgender story at the library.

Been banging my head on that wall for years.

Trump's morals or supposed lack thereof has absolutely nothing to do about the issues we elected him to enact. Stormy Daniels has nothing to do with a wall. Stupid comments have nothing to do with immigration reform and so on.
