They need to remember that nowhere in the Bible did Christ scrap His ministry to travel to Rome and demand the Senate arrest everyone not following His teachings.

Spoken like a true ACLUist. "Oh you silly Christians, just go back to your churches and be quiet about all the sin around you. Don't bother trying to change anything. Just shut up and do what Cesear tells you!"

So do you think that Christ would have nothing to say about abortion and homosexuality? Do you think he would be fine with those perversions being legal and accepted? Actually, He talks quite a bit about both in the Old Testament. He says that the penalty for both is death. Do you think He's changed his mind since then? Or have we changed ours?

Actually I’m a lifelong and active Southern Baptist. The difference between us is I didn’t take a look at the Taliban and think “Heeeeey, pretty cool idea.” I take my faith seriously. I don’t need a massive central federal government to force moral behavior on me at the point of a gun. I choose it freely.

Again, please direct me to the chapter in the Bible where Christ commands His followers to stop evangelizing, move to Rome, lobby the Senate and instead just have the government arrest everyone not following His teachings.

So I take it in addition to demanding the government execute homosexuals you’re also advocating the arrest and imprisonment of people who have sex outside of marriage and look at naked women?

Actually that comment perfectly crystallizes the mindset of the lazy Christian. Just like liberals, they see a problem (sinful culture) and rather than commit any personal effort to solving it (personal witness) they resort to brute government force.

They then comfort themselves my telling themselves that Christ was an advocate of massive state force and earthly police powers, despite the fact He saved souls not by having the Roman Senate crucify those who don't follow, but by witnessing to them and telling them how much He loved them.

They miss the irony in supposedly worshipping someone murdered by the goverment at the behest of political activists for defying religious teachings (the Pharisees) by demanding that the government enforce their own beliefs through earthly law.
