It does not say "christian" or even religious. It connects two premises: GOP and Execute. Actually, places weight on GOP.


I promise, I won't go political but it very much so reminds of very popular Russian serial Sleepers. In it, a CIA sleeper agent, now in Czech republic, has a crew of bloggers with only one intent - discredit Putin as much as possible. He reviews one blogger article on some communal mishap in some small town far in Russia. Titled "local authority does not respond to tenant needs"

He says to blogger: Ok, look. Local authority was placed in position by who? A minister in Moscow. Who placed that minister in charge? She says - Putin approved him. Then she looks at him and spills out - Putin assigned government does not take care of tenant in need.
I hope, you see my point.

In between the term "GOP" and the term "execute" is the term "Biblical." I made it very clear that my quarrel is with religion itself.

By identifying a political party, you made it inexcusably political and bigoted.

Now explain to me how they are any worse than a militant atheist that wants to kill religious people and anyone that disagrees?
I would say that the better question is how is he any better than a terrorist Jihadist?

...and yet if it were an atheist calling for the death of Christians, you would be marching in the streets screaming about 'PERSECUTION'.

This Matt Shea however is an actual person elected to an actual government position.
Fancy that, not so much a peanut as a glaring idol in their image.

What the mainstream media does to liberals:

"By pointing out a simple truth (whether emotionally or callously, we will fault you for either or both depending on our bias) that no one could disagree with, you are inexcusable, partisan, and hateful."

To anti-liberals:

*shrugs* "O.K. you tried to equivalenting it, everything is equally fair now and you are excused. We aren't going to investigate whether the statistical facts bear out this false equivalency or not. Moving on."

The author does not sound to be Christian , See Jesus said that ``unless your righteousness surpasses the scribes and the Pharisees then you won`t see the kingdom of heaven `` ...... And this author of biblical law sounds to be a scribe
