Your unbridled hatred of all those who do not have your set of beliefs is beginning to alarm me.   Perhaps you should consider professional advice.

It is not one verse, as I have repeatedly shown you. Allow me to once again share the Biblical position that homosexuality is sinful and wrong.
Lev.18:22 And you shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.
Lev.20:13 If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.
Rom.1:26 -27 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions; for their females exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,
and in the same way also the males abandoned the natural function of the female and burned in their desire toward one another, males with males committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
I Cor.6:9-10 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

Again, I do not hate anyone. Just because I point out the sinfulness of homosexuality you accuse me of hatred. Perhaps your inability to comprehend the Biblical position concerning homosexuality, you should consider getting professional help with reading comprehension.

And just like that, the Second Amendment has been upheld and Roe v. Wade has been overturned. This has been a good week for America.

You seem to be using a definition of "good" that I cannot find in my Funk & Wagnall. Perhaps nowadays to be a member of SCOTUS you have to have the same hatred of humanity that you find in your average GOP member. And a willingness to tell the most outrageous lies in your confirmation hearing so that you gain entrance to wreak havoc from you new high held office.

Come on now, no one likes a sore loser. Elections have consequences. We are all suffering from the 2020 election so now we all get to enjoy the results of the 2016 election. Our second amendment rights have been reaffirmed but most importantly human life has been reaffirmed. Thank God for Trump!

That Trump owns the GOP lock stock and barrel is one of life's less little tragedies. That the GOP revel in being so owned is probably a magnitude larger tragedy.

Still. while there is Biden there is hope. We do now have a modicum of safety from the gun control bill.

With Biden there is hope?? Hahahaha…..hope for higher inflation, hope for higher gas prices, hope for more illegals in the country. I can’t afford any more hope in Biden.

Inflation is rampant world wide as are higher gas prices. That Biden must be far more influential than people thinks. America is a nation of immigrants - I suppose now that it is full up, we shall have to build a great wall to keep any more from arriving. (I take it that immigrants is just one category of humans that the GOP is mandated to hate)

Hmm…there was no inflation to speak of when Trump was in office. Gas was less than $2.00 a gallon in free states (higher in Communist states like Cali. and NY). As an immigrant yourself who came here the legal way, I’m surprised you advocate for illegal entry into these United States of America. No, I’ll take good ol’ conservative GOP policies any day over commie socialists policies.

Good old GOP rhetoric: anything that is not pro-white misogyny is communist propaganda. That devise allows them to get away without having to produce any evidence to support a claim, no matter how outlandish it may be.

My claim of high inflation, high gas prices and an open border are easily verified. It has nothing to do with being white. Sen. Tim Scott (who is black) holds the same position myself and other conservatives hold. Some of those conservatives include Kim Klacik, Mark Robinson, Owen Burgess and Byron Donalds. All black GOP’ers. Hahaha…your race card has been trumped by facts. Pin intended.

We still await your evidence that worldwide inflation and high gas prices is the sole responsibility of Biden.   Until then you are just blowing in the wind,   And because some die hard conservatives are people of color simply shows that when you hate women enough, you will fellow travel with others of the same ilk, regardless of any other conviction they may hold.

It does seem to be a religious conservative you have to hold fellow Americans in very low esteem:  as can be evidenced by the recent dreadful rulings by the conservative majority on SCOTUS.  I have been advised that NRA really standd for No Respect for Anyone.

And some right wing sources say that Trump single-handedly ended WW1, WW2 and the Korean War which is why Queen Elizabeth II awarded him a knighthood and the Victoria Cross.   One would think that Sir Donald Trump VC will soon ascend to sainthood.   (one can only hope -it would be far better than the jail term he currently expects),

Gas prices were below $2.00 when Biden took office (at least here in free states). They have more than doubled since Biden became president. He shut down construction of the Keystone Pipeline, he is restricting oil companies from more drilling through cancelling the contracts. Now, Putin is responsible for prices in Europe, but we have enough resources in America to be energy independent. Gas prices in USA are a direct result of Biden’s liberal, America-hating policies. Every economic expert lays the blame for inflation squarely on Biden’s shoulders. To deny that fact is to be totally dishonest. Biden is systematically ruining this country.

You are entitled to your opinion but are not entitled to ram it down my throat.

The GOP will say anything to harm Biden even if it does harm America as collateral damage.

As NRA spokesman are wont to say: unfettered access to automatic rifles may cause some schoolchildren to get killed. That is a risk we are willing to take.

And the GOP position on reproductive rights seems to be "Women are naught more than incubators. And incubators do not come with self propelled off switches".

I’m not ramming anything down your throat. I’m simply stating facts. The fact that liberals hate facts is not surprising. Biden wrecked our economy. That is a fact.

Fact two…guns don’t kill. People kill. We used to have a rifle team when I was in high school. We actually shot rifles in the armory at our school. We had students that brought guns to school because they would go hunting after school. What changed? Liberal doctrines have changed the moral fabric of our nation. So now we have school shootings. BTW, none of the shooters were NRA members nor were they conservatives.

Fact three: Conservatives don’t care what women do with their bodies. We do care what they do to the bodies of their children. Babies in the womb have a separate heartbeat and separate DNA.The child in their body is not their body. There is a way to prevent pregnancy if they don’t want children. Abortion should never be birth control. That is the GOP position. I refuse to be lectured about school children being killed by people who kill children before they are even born.

Yeah: atom bombs do not kill, bomb=aimers kill. Doberman dogs do not kill, dog owners kill. All makes perfect sense. And in the same vein, if a murderer is not a card carrying NRA member there is no need for gun controls.

Before the second trimester, there is no child. Just something that could become one. If potential is the only criteria. conservatives really ought to campaign against menstruation.

And the conservative can always observe a woman does not need a clinic when there is a clothes hanger to hand.

You're dead wrong. A baby has a heartbeat in the first trimester. A person is declared dead when a heartbeat is no longer detected. Therefore it is logical there must be life when there is a heartbeat. I would invite you to educate yourself concerning the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The SCOTUS did not ban or outlaw abortions. Instead it handed the issue back to the states where it belonged all along. Your state of Californication still provides abortions as a means of birth control. So does NY and other communists states that do not value life. Other states, like the one I live in, see the importance of defending innocent life, especially lives in the womb.

I have owned several guns in my lifetime. Not a single one has ever shot someone, even when left alone and loaded. Guns are inanimate objects that cannot do anything. It takes a person to pick up a gun and shoot it at someone. The gun does not do that on it's own. Again, we actually shot guns in our school building when I was in high school. My school owned both guns and ammo. No one was shot. The problem is not guns. The problem is no fathers in the home, no discipline in school, and no Jesus in the hearts.

Your liberal, Bolshevik doctrines are totally indefensible.

Please stop making ad hominem attacks or your posts will be deleted. It matters not whether the term "Bolshevik" is actually offensive, it is clear that you meant it to be taken as an insult.

Believe me no personal insult was intended. I wasn't referring to you as a Bolshevik, just your political bent. Please forgive me if you thought I was calling you names.

My over-sensitivities got the better of me. Let's move on.

Since the Bolsheviks were dead set against liberal ways of thinking, I suspect you have invented an oxymoron that would make - a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma - child's play by way of a comparison

Another victory for freedom came from SCOTUS in the ruling concerning the football coach being allowed to pray. This is a huge victory for religious rights. Thank God Trump appointed judges who have actually read and studied the Constitution.

I bet a dollar or two that you would have been less ebullient if the case had been about a Muslim being allowed to pay after a function at a public school.

And I suppose, for some, the idea of a theocracy for the USA is more easily accepted if it is one where Saint Sir Donald Trump V.C. makes the final decision over every law of the land.

I would most certainly rejoice had it been a Muslim. Religious freedom should apply to all religions even if they worship the wrong god. This ruling benefits Muslins as much as it does Christians.

You are the only one I know of calling for a theocracy. In fact, I am studying Romans 13 for our youth class this Wednesday. This chapter instructs believers to live in obedience to human government. It's a good read. You should look at the first 7 verses.

I suppose the problem with selecting a god to worship there are so many wrong ones trying to tempt you along the wrong path.

I am not calling for a theocracy, just musing on how well it might turn out if the wrong god is not chosen to lead us to his promised land.

Romans was supposed to have been written by Paul, nicht wahr? And of all the supposed scribes. he seems to be the most unreliable.

But if you using that passage to show your youngsters what a mealy mouthed hypocrite he was, then some good might come from his scribblings.

Ok, why do you claim Paul was unreliable and a mealy mouthed hypocrite?
