Yes the cult that originated in North Africa is most certainly included.

whizz be upon them

[cradle of freedom]

It was an accident, I swear!

[HiTech RedNeck]

These are people who are pretenders. They want not to embrace the Lord but to rub elbows with Him and brag about the circle they moved in. Needless to say salvation does not work like that.

We don’t know what the equivalent pronouncement would be to an atheist. Atheists are not covered in that passage.

Religious liberty is a right actually identify din the text of the Constitution. Reproductive rights and same-sex marriage rights are not. That, however, does not matter, it seems.

[Kaslin]

OIC, thanks

Once upon a time, marriage constituted property—the wife was the literal property of the husband, and could not legally let alone culturally own anything of her own. The governing cultural norm was that women should be barefoot, pregnant and subservient.

Whereas in communism, aka socialism, aka liberalism, aka progressivism, people (especially women, children, and minorities) belong to the borg collective. No one is allowed to be an individual.

Hmm, what you found reads like a social justice diatribe. E.g.,

England was not a comfortable place for most women. Medieval women invariably had a hard time in an era when many men lived harsh lives.

This sounds like men had it bad, so did women.

This: Medieval society would have been very traditional. makes a play for what they are hoping is the readers' view of traditional.

However, they were paid less for doing the same job.

This ignores the question of productivity. It would make sense for women to receive less pay if they were less productive. For example a task requiring physical labor and strength would (I assume) be harder for women.

In a male dominated society, no woman would openly complain about this disparity.

Do we have evidence of this? This comes across as "we have no direct evidence, so we will project our biases and assume something and submit that as evidence."

In medieval towns, women would have found it difficult to advance into a trade as medieval guilds frequently barred women from joining them.

This is the only claim I believe that I believe shows that women faced problems.

As for:not allowed to divorce their husbands

This was a society influenced heavily by the Catholic Church which prohibits divorce.

could not own property of any kind unless they were widows

This sounds like the husband was listed as the property owner by default, but that the family lived and made decisions as a unit.

[DiogenesLamp]

I don’t regret my long held position that the government shouldn’t be involved in marriage, but I admit yet again that I didn’t foresee how wide the litigants would push the door in the other direction if they prevailed in proving that it was.

And this is what I absolutely cannot stand about these F***ing moderates. They Never see this stuff coming, but it is OBVIOUS to everyone else who was f***ing paying attention.

It's the law of unintended consequences coming to call once more and to "surprise" all the morons that didn't see it coming.

Hahahaha.

“you will now have to provide the same services to straight couples that you provide to gay couples. Don’t like it? Find a new job.”

Faggie fascism is now on the march. Love tolerance? You’d d@mn well better, you “breeder”!!!

[Graybeard58]

witness the Catholic Church’s withdrawal from the adoption business in states where adoption agencies must place children with same-sex couples. But it’s one thing to be forced out of Massachusetts; now the Church must reconsider its adoption services throughout the U.S.

Half truth.

Catholic adoption agencies were threatened with having gov. funding cut off if they refused to adopt to queers. Dependent on taxpayer funds, they folded.

Various state Baptist adoption agencies are doing fine because they have never accepted government (taxpayer) funds.............and they do not adopt to queer "families".

[Toirdhealbheach Beucail]

I foresee a future where a lot of different “businesses” are run out of homes and only take commissions or jobs from direct references or assisting organizations of their choosing.

It is why "unexpectedly" is pretty much the hallmark of official pronouncements for the current administration.

[familyop]

No. It’s another feminist myth. One of my woman ancestors, Sarah, owned a large tract of land over 300 years ago, when she was very young and unmarried. And to this day in at least many states, the property of married people is community property—not the property of either individual. Assets are split 50/50 in the event of divorce in at least some states. Prenuptial agreements are honored for moguls and movie stars but not for many of lesser means.

Everything about the decision was invalid. The SC is not supposed to write laws or be political. This decision was completely political, as was the healthcare decision. Both were for a political party and/or obama. The SC has turned into an arm to get the things done that obama wants done and cannot get it done by ballot... for when put before the people for a vote, they both would have been defeated. 9 judges sit and make laws for the liberal parties and I don’t know if they are bribed, threatened, or just liberal and don’t care about the constitution or laws of the land.

Read the dissenting opinions on both and you will see there was harsh and reasonable disagreement with what the liberal side of the SC did in both cases.

The SC has turned into something that can never be trusted to do what is right for the country and abide by the constitution. They threw that away with these 2 decisions. obama gets what he wants and I don’t know what he uses on each person to get them to capitulate, but he’s got it down to a science. (I could name a few.. IRS, Att Gen, and some only he knows how to use)

We desperately need a new President that is not of the old guard and not one that the GOP would likely choose. We need a man like Cruz who has said he would overturn the damage and take care of the SC. And, right now, we need a Trump to scare the wits out of the establishment. If we don’t get things changed ... we are doomed and this country will never be able to recover.

Control the words and you can control the perceptions of the ignorant masses.

The three R’s in Classical Education included Rhetoric, so people used to be able to see through the lies and fallacies. Now, with Dewey’s destruction of our curricula in public schools, people literally can’t “think” and they accept anything they hear as “truth” because of the Prussian brainwashing system and the repetition of TV over and over-—vice is good, vice is good and as Goebbels stated-—repeat the Big Lie over and over and it becomes the truth.

[BenLurkin]

What is the “DB”?

[BenLurkin]

No.

Truth is: wives are intended to be barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen.

[cradle of freedom]

I pray for this country every day. I also believe that enough people have seen the outrageous behavior of the Democrats and are eager to clean house.
