PRoblem is you have churches that twist God's word and ignore it and say that a previous sin is not a sin anymore.

( i.e. homosexual acts ).
God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.

John 3:17

Life would be great as the queen, right? but what if you're a drone? What would you say is the quality of life of a drone? Are you willing to live such an existence? If so, time machine yourself back to the killing fields of Cambodia.

I in no way shape or form believe I have all the answers.

Communism has killed more people than any war.
Like I said, it's the best system until people are added.

Once you introduce humans, it ranks right up their with feudal lords.

If you need more clarification on my part, people and communism are not compatible. How's that?

When was the last time you were in Dearborn?


Punch line: No, they wouldn't be stoned. Just like there are bars and restaurants that serve pork all over Dearborn. Sharia Law isn't enforced there, no matter how much the fear mongers would like you to believe otherwise.


You should get out of your house a little more.

I have. I'm a US Air Force veteran. While serving my country and wearing the uniform of freedom, I have been to Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, Italy, and England. I've seen the world.

YOU WERE SAYING?!

There are extremist Muslims just as there are extremist Christians.

A Lutheran or a Methodist is probably the equivalent of most Muslims. Yet we hear about the extremes. They are the loudest.

I'm not going to wear a headscarf in support of Muslims because I think that sort of thing keeps women down. I think that sort of garb will die out in this country once they become more assimilated. Like, "How ya gonna keep them down on the farm, after they've seen New York." Old song meaning the younger generations want to be like their peers and will dress and act accordingly. Their religious views will diminish too.

No, we do not want to run off those who see themselves as whatever.
I know you know what I meant, but to rephrase so others understand, I want gay people and transgendered people to feel welcomed to sit next to me in church without being seen as anything other than a fellow Christian.

Actually, if I had to choose between being an egg laying machine trapped inside the mound my entire life or a drone out collecting food, I'd go drone every time.

Even in communism, there are roles to be filled.

Once again, communism and people are not compatible.
