I don't. In fact I don't think their faith is strong at all. I believe they want to keep others from doing what they wish they were doing, but are too afraid to confront the fact that they doubt whether or not there is a god who punishes people that "sin."

I've never in my life met someone who was secure in their faith that wanted to regulate the actions of others.

You can venture in the backwoods and find people that would support it easy. There are still people serious about snake handling. fricked up people off the beaten path in our own country.

Yeah, but I do think Christians mentality is that people can be redeemed. I don't think they literally want to kill you for being gay or leaving the faith. Hundreds of millions of Muslims on the other hand do.

shite like this is why Islam is inferior to western culture and should not be imported and celebrated by progressives.

Yes, but I still think when these people you are talking about saw the Orlando massacre, I don't think they were happy about it or said they that they deserved it for being gay. Are there some? Yes, but they are few and far between. It's nowhere near the percentages of Muslims who believe that. I haven't heard of many Christians doing honor killings. It's a false equivalency.

Plus a big cornerstone of Christianity is forgiveness. If you kill them, then there's no chance at forgiveness for them. Muhammad was a fricking warlord though, so it makes sense that they can defend their violence in upholding the Faith. I can't imagine anyone rationally using Christ's words to defend it.

You know what stat shocked me the most in this election: Muslims voted 10% in favor of Trump than Romney in 2012. 10%. That is astounding from all the shite Trump has said about Muslims. Maybe these liberal Muslims know more about the regions they came from and that they don't want them over here either. It was that culture they tried to escape.

The best solution is always to put a pregnant woman in jail

There are more "bastards" in backwoods Mississippi than anywhere I know.

I agree with the "redeemed" comment above.

Would be awesome if that happened to some SJW snowflake that always preaches how "peaceful" the Muslim religion is.

But at the very least, they will believe god will punish that person and would see anything bad that would happen to that person as them being punished.


I think that these people are comfortable with the fact that God will take care of them eventually. Sure they'd outlaw abortion and take the pill away, but I doubt they'd execute anyone like they do in the Middle East.

Evangelicals deep down think people can be redeemed for even the worst of actions. If you insult the prophet or leave the faith, then in the Middle East you'd be killed for it. Most evangelicals want to persuade you by saying how loving Jesus is. Islamists on the other hand want you killed for directly insulting the faith.

It's apples and oranges.



you're just arguing the degree to which you want the legal system to reflect your religion is less than there's ... it's still just as narrow minded and hypocritical as their viewpoint ...

Christian right should love this idea. Or at least a lighter version.
