Fun post! Here's an honest response from an Evangelical Christian.

Nice try, but I have no desire to make homosexuality illegal.

Sorry, I prefer to pray when and where I want. And I really don't care whether or not you want to pray. Just don't get all bent out of shape if I choose to pray where you can see me.

Separates seating areas for men and women to ensure no sin takes place.
|
Go news for ya, most of us backward hillbillies realize that sin between men and women doesn't happen in "seating areas."
Quote:
Has separate family friendly areas in restaurants
|
So I can go out for a nice, quiet meal without having it ruined by a table full of screaming kids? Maybe I'm missing something, but I really don't see this as a liberal/conservative issue; it just seems like a great idea.

Stealing is punished with an eye for an eye retribution.

In other words, if someone steals my TV they have to buy me a new TV. Am I missing something? Because it actually seems like that's the way it should work.

Adultery and sexual deviancy is a potential death penalty
|
Adultery is a potential death penalty in this country if the husband comes home while the adultery is being committed.
Quote:
Consuming or selling drugs is an automatic death penalty

I would have voted "yes" on Prop 64 if I lived in Colorado.
Quote:
Stones adulterers to death

Didn't you already mention this one? I find redundancy a little annoying, but regardless I'll refer you to John 8 for my thoughts on the subject.
Quote:
Women require family chaperons at all times to prevent sin from occurring
|
A sin is a sin, whether it be lust or fornication. No chaperon can prevent sin from occurring.
Quote:
The religious law is the highest order of the land.
|
It's the highest order I personally follow; but after salvation through the sacrifice of Christ I firmly believe that free will is the greatest gift God has given us. It's the fact that my Faith is a personal choice rather than a requirement of citizenship that makes it so great.
Quote:
Evolution in academia is frowned upon.
|
I can prove evolution happens within a matter of minutes using dozens of species of flora and fauna as examples. What can be proven should be taught; but what is only assumed should only be suggested, and then only if all theories are included in the discussion as well.
Quote:
"Deviant" Hollywood media and nudity is strictly forbidden.
|
It's strictly forbidden in my house, you feel free to watch what you want. But if you show it to my minor children you are going to wish you had to answer to the authorities rather than me.

Welcome to Saudi Arabia your new home. Now buy a plane ticket!
|
Sorry, I don't care for hot climates, so I believe I'll stay here where I can exercise my first amendment freedom. Now you may feel free to exercise yours and make fun of me, because that's what people like you do. If I were gay you'd call it bullying, but I understand that since I'm just a Christian its okay.
And I'm perfectly fine with that, because it only goes to show who is truly the more tolerant, open-minded individual here.
