God is God. not their god or our god etc. There is One God who died for our sins and his last words on the cross was. " It is finished". meaning, I did what needed to be done.
Mohommad preached a different god and not the one who died for our sins.
Or Christianity. ;)
Anyone can have that opinion but not everyone believes it, so let's keep religion out of politics and give it the respect it deserves.
Ain't it a shame? The eternal rewards are worth every minute of work! Actually, the joy of being a Christian right here and now is pretty wonderfulj.
Correct. I don't know about you, but I have yet to find in any of my history books, or even online anywhere, of a single account of Muslims/Islamics sailing to America with the founders. None of the signers of the Declaration, the Articles of Confederation, or the Constitution were Islamic. No state refused to ratify because of the state Constitutions espousing a sect of Christianity.
Yes, plus a lot of others. Just add your favorite(s) to the list.
That may be all well and good but as much as people don't want to say it out loud, this is a Holy war of people of a religion who want to destroy and or kill us. Jihad ( Holy war) has been decalared on us. How can we keep religion out of politics any easier than we can keep war out of politics.
Yes, religion/politics, war/politics, religion/war, etc. have merged all to the detriment of humanity. We can all speculate about it, write about, report about it....but we don't have to fan the flames by insisting that "our" God is the only true God, that there is only one God, that "our" religion is superior to another, etc. That's what I mean by separating religion and politics.
So, we are to not honor our God as our God because others do not like it? I care more what God thinks than what the "others" think about it. Are we to deny God His place of honor in our lives to please those that deny Him?
Something seems wrong with asking God to not be treated as God so that the unbelievers will be happy.
We may be facing a threat from the Muslims but that is no need to take all religion out of our schools, our buildings, our pledge. We have lived many, many years and formed this country with God's help - I think we still need His help and have the right to mention His name.
There is freedom of speech. There is freedom of religion and we intend to keep that no matter what Muslims, or any other group think about it.
I am frankly against all this PC nonsense. We are losing more civil rights over the Politically Correct agenda than any of the terrorist control efforts.
We are a tolerant nation and that means tolerance for our beliefs the same as for the beliefs of others. Muslims are not tolerant and I will not play into their hands and give my liberties away to make things less of a "problem".
