These are your exact statements, EV. They seem to say that you believe people do NOT have the *right* to do anything that you, as a Christian, consider to be *wrong*. That is so similar to what the Islamists say. They say that people have no free will and that they must be *forced* to live according to Islam - or be severely punished or destroyed. Here are your exact words:

God is the Judge.

But He also tasks human beings to fulfill certain tasks in this world on His behalf...for the benefit of those He created. Human government is His gift to help restrain fallen man. This is what the men who built this republic believed, and it is what I believe. Like them, I'm a Christian and a republican. – Post #687

Here's one more for you: The demand for what God calls an abomination, and which has throughout history called down wrath on every nation that allowed itself to be overcome by this depth of depravity. That's right CS, I believe in the God of the Bible, and I believe that he judges nations as well as individuals.

And when our own President acts as if immoral behavior is acceptable, and even a positive good, this republic is in grave danger. – Post #691

You only have part of the picture, unfortunately. You neglect the fact that no one has the right to do wrong. You may have the power to do so, but not the right. – post #695

Wrong. Folks like you just think you have the right to do wrong, because you fail to reverence God, or acknowledge His ultimate sovereignty. – post #702

You have the ACLU's vision of what liberty is.

The Bill of Rights, to them, includes the *right* to abort babies, euthanize the elderly and infirm, publish and propagate porn, make merchandise of women's bodies, erase the borders, fill our young people's bodies with drugs, keep felons free to spread mayhem, theft of the people's substance through every conceivable means of taxation, etc...but never can it be read to include the right to religious speech or even thought, political speech or activism that doesn't agree with their marxist agenda, self-protection, property rights, or the right to life.

Arguing with them is exactly like arguing with you and your friends...largely a fruitless exercise. Which is why I equate you with them. There is no discernable difference.
