Oh well, I suppose massive, systematic oppression of innocent people we don't agree with.. at the federal level no less, was exactly what Jesus had in mind when he uttered the "golden rule"

Well it wasn't the Judge Not, let people rape your own without calling it evil, turn the other cheek, lay down and die Jesus either.

What part of "Slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush. (Koran 9:5) " did you find golden enough to defend? When they take public office, just what/who does putting their hand on the Bible and swearing to uphold the constitution concern? If such people are true to their religion, they can not with good faith actually swear to uphold the constitution now can they? Their religion is/would be in direct conflict with the constitutions "freedom of religion".

BTW.. I don't support "massive, systematic oppression of innocent people", but I do support not supporting those that actively purport to tear down others because of their religion. Somehow I guess you thought I did (or just assigned it to me because I defended TBShow against a wrong use of your "golden rule"). But if a person running for office does actively and publically suggest that "They (the unbelievers) should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides. (Koran 5:33) " I do support letting it known to the public.

"Judge not" has nothng to do with it.

"Do unto others" does, however.
