The word “discrimination” has been subject to the worst mutilations since the Civil Rights Act came about and public education dropped a classical approach.

Then why is there no commandment whatsoever in any part of the word to even acknowledge the fact of the resurrection?

Because once his crucifixion was accomplished, his resurrection was in no way in question. When it happened was per his declaration: 3 days and 3 nights after he was laid in the tomb, as per the sign of the prophet Jonah. “Without his resurrection” would not be possible unless his crucifixion had been prevented.

Easter is “happy” only to those that have no savior. To those that do, it is simply the perfidy of of the godless.

"Easter is “happy” only to those that have no savior. To those that do, it is simply the perfidy of of the godless."

You two seem to have the same approach.

You could share tips on how to attract people by defamation and insults.

Enjoy!

I agree. Check out this article by Walter Williams called “What’s Discrimination?”

Denying service to gays is like denying service to blacks under Jim Crow.

Not at all. Under the Democrat Jim Crow laws a company was not allowed to provide service in the way it wished. It was compelled under threat of fines or other penalties to serve it's customers the way the Democrat laws demanded even if it violated their religious values and beliefs to do so.

Now once again we have Democrats pushing laws that force people to do business in ways they are not inclined to do.

It is same song, same verse. In both cases the Democrats are trying to force businesses to do things that may violate their beliefs.

So why do you think that Democrats have this burning desire to force people to do things their way? Is it their innate fascist tendencies or are they just a bunch of poo-poo heads?

I think C.S. Lewis was thinking of the Democrats when he wrote this:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
