That’s an argument, but not the best one. What right does the government have to force someone to enter into a business transaction with someone and participate in an event they don’t want to participate in? This is absolute madness.
Just a conservative using liberal speech in a liberal hate war.
How come these faggots never sue a muzz slime?
That’s speech and press, in a way. Just because you can eat it, doesn’t make it nothing but food.
How about stepping up to the mercy seat.
Sometimes, to undergo misfortunes means a Christian has not put on his armor. In turn, maybe he hasn't asked for it. Maybe he thinks a "form of religion but denying its power" is enough.
Hello, people. The gospel is "good news." Of God's love received and passed on to the needy. In fact, except for the all-important sacred aspect, it looks a lot like leftism. The gospel boots aren't to kick every inconvenient rear out of your way. They are to focus on walking up to the weak so that you can help them push evil out of the way.
When Christendom regains this vision as a chief theme, I think it will be able to stand far firmer in the face of problems like this, rather than spinning in a wail like a bunch of offended church ladies and lashing out at random. Be angry and do not sin.
It was something that got wished on us with civil rights statutes. It wasn’t enough to ban all laws that forbade equal opportunity service. It went further and required equal opportunity service. Now we are seeing that well intentioned principle turn into a Frankenstein monster.
I think God let the clash between left and right drive the scene, as chaotically and roughly as it has, because Christendom had failed to. Something kept a rough balance, because the thing that could keep a fine balance went AWOL.
I think you are conflating mercy with obedience.
Self-styled Christians who make a choice to allow their children to be schooled by heathens are not training their children up in the way they should go. We are losing the culture war because of it.
I do not agree that Christianity has much in common with the political left. 1 Samuel warns about government, and the role of the family (especially the father) is clear in Ephesians.
Today, being a culture warrior means taking charge of oneself and one’s own family. People who come on here and blab about our social ills, while their own children make common cause with Bernie at Weather Underground P.S. should re-assess their priorities? We keep reading about Christian small businesses targeted by the left under rules made by the left. Well? Stop training up children to be like Bernie and things will turn around in a generation.
I wonder if the government would equally enforce this on a Muslim baker that made the same refusal?
