The sickening and despicable stench of political correctness and the anti-Constitutional radical left.

The Constitution under attack.

This is the world. We can’t take it over yet any more than the Dominionist Ted could. Maybe Christians could create a company like this. Call it something like Sweet Chariot. And they could have whatever rules they wished.

The Constitution was never intended to govern anything but the US government.

I had one that got so successful as the basis of gospel discussion that Facebook called me a public figure and forced me to change my page, having to hook up afresh with all friends.

As trials and tribulations go this is mild.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
Looks like John Adams was proven correct here.

And fine, you’ve had your “righteous” huff.

What will the church actually do?

The big temptation is to go out there and prophesy gloom and doom to everyone, which then makes the gospel sound rather unattractive because it is a message of countercultural victory.

Various warnings for sure, but never ever without the core invitation being present. God didn’t present Himself to us in order to be a club for us to field to avenge our various spoiled resentments.

Maybe the subject of Islam was only an excuse here.

You see them arguing and then the driver says something bad about Muslims.
I wonder what the passenger said previously and for how long. At some point, hectoring someone for twenty minutes can trigger a racial/ethnic insult. But you don’t see what the Muslim guy might have said that was as bad or worse.

The Gospel will always be unattractive thanks to the god of this world. That is, until the world changes.

There was no Muslim guy.

Just an idiot a hole passenger goading the idiot driver into saying something that would get him fired.

And yes, if a customer can get you to say something that gets you fired, you are an idiot.
