Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Hey you athiests...

More "christians" especially some on the 'Fire should take heed to these two sentences.

No, you haven't read American history. Put down the Barton and D'souza and slowly back away...

Prior to becoming 'America', (the nation under the constitution), there was rampant discrimination by the religious, even against other 'christians' (i am forever amused by the irony that baptist used to be persecuted by other Christians).

When the 'conservatives' talk about America being founded as a 'Christian nation' they are right in the sense that various sects were in control of the colonies and demanded adherence to their doctrine and standards of conduct, including being a member in good standing of their denomination to hold office, etc. Other sects, non-believers, 'papists', Jews, etc were neither looked on nor favorably treated,

This was a large impetus to the founding fathers (mostly Jim and Tom) to 'secularize' the Constitution. They knew too well the dangers religion posed to government and vice versa.

So when Scott and others say they just want to be able to believe as they please without aggressively proselytizing others, I say, bravo. However, that is not what I referred to in my earlier response. The religious right has shown over and over they want to legislate morality. Who you can sleep with, who you can marry, what you can put in your body, what you can take out, what bathroom you have to use, what gender you must identify as, how you can protest, etc. etc.

if the religious right gained the power that the house of Saud wields, you'd see the rise and domination of the American Fascists. It's inevitable--when you believe that you worship the 'one, true God' and his precepts are the path of truth and, especially, when following (read: enforcing) those precepts will 'bless and prosper' the country--well then, woe to those who do not fall inline. They are 'traitors' and enemies of the all the country 'stands for'.

Of course, as mentioned, Tom and Jim understood this perfectly; hence, the 'wall of separation' principle.

We will all be a lot better off when the churches and Christians truly do start doing God's work again.

No they wouldn't!

As in "mind your own business"?
Where have we heard that before.

The "christian right" is as oppressive as the Saudis in many ways, but they won't admit it to themselves.

Let's take a look at what the Founder of Christianity says,

Matthew 28:19-20

"'Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.'"

Mark 16:15-16

"And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.'"

Some of those that do it come across as obnoxious puuggers. That's what turns a lot of folks off.

I am pretty far right, in fact I am a far enough right Constitutionalist to believe Rush is a rabid liberal, and I am a Christian. I just want to be left alone to believe in what I believe. I have no desire to try to convert anyone who does not ask me questions about my faith. Many here have sat around a campfire with me and can testify to that statement.

It's not the religious right that have been driving us in that direction. It's been the liberal atheists.

Lemme get this straight. An atheist gets on Twatter in Saudi Arabia and shares his views with everyone over there....including the authorities who enforce Sharia law....and thereby earns himself 10 years in jail and perpetual ass whippings. Kind of runs contrary to the narrative that atheists are smart don't it?

Sauer200,



Lot's of folks are turned off by the idea they should submit to a Higher Authority than their own. No matter how politely they are introduced to the idea. Don't forget it was religious leaders who put Jesus to death.

Get another stash of coke! What you have has messed up whatever grey matter is up there!

It's a typical reaction to anyone who disagrees though, so it helps prove my point.

The most free society ever devised, was devised by Christians.

You are a total dumb fugk.
