I totally agree. Forty years ago, President Jimmy Carter ran as a "born again Christian" and some people questioned his religious views, but Carter always kept his personal religion out of the political arena and never tried to impose those views on the country although he was a very committed Christian as his post-presidential life has shown.
I have little doubt that the current crop of political idiots from the Religious Right would relish forcing their religious views on the country in the name of "religious freedom" because they don't respect anybody's beliefs but their own.
And they'd be shocked and horrified if you pointed out to them that if they did carry out their agenda they'd be as bad as the jihadists who are turning back the clock to the middle ages. Just what would they suggest for those of us who would not go along with reimposing traditional christan 'values' as the only option?
The problem with Christianity is that very few Christians follow Jesus' commandments. Just take a look at the Sermon on the Mount and see just how difficult it is to be considered a true, obedient Christian. Too many Christians cherry-pick which commandments they want to follow and disregard or twist the ones that they have trouble agreeing with.

But we all realize the importance of the Second Commandment, uh, I mean, Amendment.
Most of us Christians love and accept homosexual people while simultaneously rejecting the sin of homosexuality. This is what God does, and we are called to be Christlike.
"Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor." Romans 12:9-10 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage...12&version=ESV
This is such crap. I love you, but I reject who you are. Hate to break it to you, but that is not love.
Lots of gay male couples are procreating these days, huh?
I didn't think so.
Great logic. I know three heterosexual couples who can't or do not want children. I say we get together and have an old fashioned stoning.
