Criminalization of Christianity in America

[CherubRam]

How is anyone being forced to change a religious belief??

When a government asserts its control over all things called God's.

How is making homosexual marriage legal forcing you to change your religious belief?

You're still a bigot...nothing has changed...has it?

Changing the concepts of God is like moving boundary stones.
Thank you. The word (Bi / Gott) means "of God."

You can still believe though.

And I would have thought the more secular the state the more likely it is you can exercise your religious freedom. Isn't that why the US works as a nation, despite all the god genes floating about in the population?

If you want to live in a theocracy try living in Iran or Saudi Arabia or the Vatican, or North Korea (it would feel the same). Then you might feel a government really taking control over 'god' things.

This explains much!

 

[bybee]

those poor Christians...all they did was break the law and discriminate against a minority and they then tried to hide their hateful behaviors behind their religion

Of course, it might be stated that, now, perversion gets to hide its' hateful behaviors under the Law?
It is very much governed by one's perspective on things.

traci thinks that if he calls immoral perverts a minority that gives them moral standing


:mock: stoopid traci

Gott is German for god (and Swedish for good), but bi in German is the same prefix as in English, meaning 'two'.

Bigot is actually a French word from the 16th Century, of unknown origin.

Good morning in Swedish god morgon, pronounced with a long O, not like god in English. Old English bī, bi, be, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch bij and German bei. And bei / by was once written the same way in both Old English and Middle High German (bi) and meant the same thing (near), yet they both have evolved to mean also different things. For instance bei can mean today, depending on the context near, at, by, among, in case of. On the other hand, in English it means bei, neben (beside), bis (until), mit (with), nach (after), um (around), von (from), über (over). But the German learner should not despair, as there remains sufficient phrasal contexts where bei equals 'by'.

Thanks! Very interesting (you really should credit the source you copied and pasted from, http://german.about.com/od/grammar/a/German-Preposition-Bei.htm).

Not sure what your interesting lesson has to do with 'bigot' though.

Will you be writing a letter to Oxford or Collins or Merriam-Webster?

Those who are "of God" are "religiously intolerant" of other religions and morals. That is the bottom line. If you are not a bigot, then you are not of God. The difference between worldly and Godly.

 

[aikido7]

Good Lord! Relax a bit.

Christianity is the largest religion in the world. Those who cringe in paranoia and alarm are actually elites who for some puzzling reason are impersonating the oppressed minority.

The Holy Wikipedia has this:

The concept of bigotry can have slightly different meanings in American and British English. In British English it refers to a state of mind where a person is obstinately, irrationally, or unfairly intolerant of ideas, opinions, or beliefs that differ from their own, and intolerant of the people who hold them. In American English, the term can be used similarly; however, it can also be used to refer to intolerance towards a group of people in general based on their group characteristics such as race, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status

So, given there are speakers of British English and of American English posting here, which kind of bigot do you see yourself as?

Stuart

there are people (nambla) who hold the idea, opinion or belief that they should be allowed to have sex with children

i am obstinately intolerant of their ideas, opinions or beliefs

call me a bigot if you like :idunno:

 

[TracerBullet]

Apparently you believe that people should be allowed to force their sin upon others. If Gay marriage becomes legal

it already is

and constitutional, then those who want to marry their pet animals could use the same argument.

a truly dumb claim. Show me a pet that can provide informed consent then

Marriage is a religious concept.

marriage is a social concept that is found everywhere and precedes all living religions

Gays should not be allowed to change other peoples religious beliefs.

Only you can change your religious beliefs

Marriage between a man and woman has been a religious concept for thousands of years.

so has slavery

Why should Gays or governments be allowed to change Judaeo commandments or doctrines?

You mean pass laws that do not conform to Judaeo/Christian doctrine like the first amendment to the constitution?

Same sex rape is a crime.

So is opposite sex rape

Fortunately the perversion of prejudice and discrimination are having more and more difficulty hiding behind the law

 

[aikido7]

If there is such a thing as freedom of religion, then how is it that Christians are being sued and imprisoned for their beliefs? How or who started this attack on Christians?

Christians have to follow the law. Bowing down to authority is in the New Testament. And except for Jesus, most people learn early enough just which side their bread is buttered on.

Is that post saying what I think it's saying--That Jesus didn't learn?

 

[ok doser]

what about the perversion of a man having sex with another man?

 

[aikido7]

Jesus did not "have to learn." He knew full well not to bow down to the powers and principalities of this world.

Unlike many of the early Christians who decided to bow down to Imperial Rome when the going got tough. "Obey the authorities" and all that. Kow-tow to government and those that really hold the power.

This conflict between Jesus and some of his followers can be found in the forged Letters of Paul.
