I am amazed how easily self described non-Christians can be offended by essential Christian doctrine.

Whats it to them since they've chosen not to believe? And why do many become infuriated because there are those that choose to believe?

It's the ongoing attempt in recent decades to elect legislators and appoint judges who would write such beliefs into law that is worrisome to non-Christians - and no less so than with Muslims trying to do the same thing with Sharia law.

I guess you are offended that christians should participate in the democratic process. Tough sh*t.

The issue is "abortion". I assure you Islam doesn't particularly care if Christian children are slaughtered in the womb.

End of story.

I don't understand why you say "in recent decades". And what do refer to with "such beliefs"?

My impression is that from before Jefferson's code for Virginia Christian ideas about society have successfully been enacted into law and have influenced may judges. Good or bad, it's been going on since the beginning of our country.

I think the fuss is trumped up. She didn't say anything (in Fox's online account) about forced conversions or anything of the kind. She said it would be better if everyone were Christian. What's the problem?
