Conservatives... tell me if I'm going this right.

1. Take the actions of some outliers to a group
2. Apply those actions to the group as a whole
3. Claim that those actions are what the group support

Esk said, “What I will tell you right now is that was done in the old testament under a law that came directly from God. And in that time, it was totally just, it came directly from God. I have no plans to, you know, reinstitute that in Oklahoma law. I do have some very huge moral misgivings about those kinds of sins.”

Being a politician and alienating voters is a bad combination

No such thing as a religion of peace. Christianity certainly doesn't qualify.

Twain had it right:

Quote:
The so-called Christian nations are the most enlightened and progressive...but in spite of their religion, not because of it. The Church has opposed every innovation and discovery from the day of Galileo down to our own time, when the use of anesthetic in childbirth was regarded as a sin because it avoided the biblical curse pronounced against Eve. And every step in astronomy and geology ever taken has been opposed by bigotry and superstition. The Greeks surpassed us in artistic culture and in architecture five hundred years before Christian religion was born.
Thank you Mr. Clements.

Stoning was of the Mosaic law for the nation of Israel, not Christianity sorry to burst bubbles.

Burning women at the stake was for Christianity.
