Why are the people who're smart enough to know that liberalism isn't a mental disorder, so ignorant about the Bible? I don't understand why so many conservatives are so accepting and welcoming of what the Bible says about homosexuality and women or how someone can be so ignorant as to blindly follow the fundamentalist teachings of any ancient religion.

I think many on the left dislike Islam because it's inconsistent with liberal western values, but accept it because in this country we allow freedom of religion. We understand that it's the root of a lot of violence and strife around the world, but it's practitioners are overwhelmingly peaceful. I'm afraid that conservatives view Muslims as an existential threat. They don't want refugees from predominantly Islamic nations and freak out about mosques going into their neighborhoods because they view Islam as a trojan horse meant to undermine the United States.

Plus, when President Obama said, he was going to Fundamentally change America.......why did Liberals take this as Hope & Change?


America has laws against this, there would be punishment.......so there danger is rare in America. Yet, in Islam countries it is legal.....there are no "Fundamentalist" Christians in Islamic countries.




There aren't nearly as many "fundamentalist" Christians in America as the Left likes to purport either.

To the many on the Left, all Conservatives are Christian and all Christians are "fundamentalists".

Muslim father tricked lesbian daughter to go to Dubai (where being gay is punishable by death) by saying her mom was dying. When her and her girlfriend found out the truth they fled. Her father followed and stole her passport and visa. They still took off to escape him. The couple were found detained in Turkey for traveling there without a passport and visa. But still liberals make Christianity out to be as bad or worse than Islam when it comes to homosexuals.

Because we recognize people's right to practice their faith regardless of whether we agree with it or not.

They don't support it. Don't you remember when hillary lied to cover up her gun running in Benghazi and she said crazy muslims were rioting over a video. The left defended her bigotry.

And God intervened and a lamb was offered up as a sacrifice.

Husbands , love your wives as Christ loved the church(his people) and laid down his life for it.

Do it unto the Lord and it will go well than to rebel as a slave and it will be a much harder time for you.

You're comparing apples to oranges. I'm accepting of everyone's freedom to worship as they wish within the confines of the local law, Islam included along with Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, etc. I'm accepting of individual people who follow Islam on a case-by-case basis. I do not agree with certain hard-line Islamic teachings and practices, certainly not religious jihad.

Some of my best friends are conservatives. I accept their right to vote and speak as they choose within the confines of the law. I do not agree with them on many political and social points.

The difference should be pretty apparent to anyone with a brain.

But that doesn't mean that you have to defend that faith tooth and claw, or refuse to recognize the obvious problems with it, or deny the wisdom of not wanting to see that faith gain further influence or more adherents in this country.
