The Great Commission

16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

You guys don't like when atheists attempt to make you drop your beliefs in God, so why should you enforce and convert people to Christianity? Christians and Atheists both use double standards alike.

That's fine. Just don't force or nag people once they say no. And believe in separation of church and state. Our country's founders were not religious fundamentalists. How would you feel if Muslims kept coming to your door with the message of Quran and the word of Muhammad after you had said no? They also have scripture that says to spread the message far and wide and that naysayers would laugh and insult etc

That's good. They'll be spending money in the city.

Some people only want to be equal only when it benefits them

Maybe he misspoke because there is a law that says you must give up your seats to the disabled, elderly, or pregnant women, but most Christians I have seen on the bus refuse to give up their seats. For Christians, the basic tenets of Christianity goes out the window after Sunday.

I'm sure you could say the same for athiests, agnostics, Jews, Muslims, people with detached earlobes, hipsters, gluttons, liberals - it's all ignorant stereoytypes. Enough already...

And just how do you know that that person on the bus is a Christian anyway? Do they wear a big sign or something?

Bash, bash, bash...

However, as one who grew up in the Southern Baptist church I can't get too upset about a little kidding about church camps and retreats. Any time you get a bunch of young folks together for a road trip (whether they are Christians or not) there's going to be a certain amount of hijinks. In my day that was one of the reasons we went! I don't see anything wrong with being human.

None of that strikes me as "Christian bashing."

Agreed. Same background for me and same things happened at camps where I went. Got a little overly sensitive. When your daughter's character is besmirched, (even unbeknownst) with a slightly blue joke, a dad gets his hackles up.

There is NO separation of church and state. Quit repeating the lies. There's an establishment clause pertaining to a state church. The establishment clause also states that the state shall not restrict the free exercise of religion.

We have prayer when convening congressional functions. God has been an incremental party of our country's history. Perhaps you should read up on it.

Islam is a complete fabrication. Second of all, it has no place in this western society, nor has it had any place in our country, EVER! Third, none of the founding fathers were thinking of Islam. A majority of the founding father's were Christians.

Islam also says to kill the infidel if they're not converted. You're comparing apples to oranges. Comparing civility and love to savagery and hate. Not the same thing.
