But not favorable to the opposition of it?

Not necessarily. A nation's government can recognize Christ as Lord without using the sword to prevent opposition by civilians.

I think a good start would be to update the Constitution to recognize that our inalienable rights come from our creator, God, and that the Constitution as the highest law of the land has its authority derived from Jesus Christ.

Retired U.S. Navy pilot Brynn Tannehill understands the frustration and pain transgender people feel serving in the shadows. She earned her Navy wings in 1999 flying helicopters and maritime patrol aircraft during three deployments. She left the Naval Reserve in 2010 to transition to a woman. She said the hardest decision was choosing between being her “authentic self” and serving her country.

Just more projection.

They are what they accuse others to be.

In this case, their progressivism religion is a tool of authoritarianism.

No one can deny this. Its happening in fricking real time.

All you need to know about the New Republic is that it was founded by agents of the Soviet government.

You're seeing the fruits of that attitude laid out before you.

And what are those?

At least you're honest enough to admit you want a backdoor theocracy.

I don't support a theocracy, as I stated. The State is to support the Church, not replace it.

Is there a more boring, pedantic discussion happening on the internet than this blather?

would you consider supporting gay marriage or being pro choice as attack on Christians?

Of course. How would they not be? I’m not saying Christians should focus on victimhood the way state-religion adherents are wont to do. There’s nothing new under the sun, and people of all religions or no religion at all have been persecuted by governments and other oppressors throughout human history.

But the institution of marriage—especially in western nations—is a JUDEO-CHRISTIAN one. And if we don’t like that term, then let’s just go with a Christian one (as that term subsumes the previous tradition from which it arose). Christians consider that institution to be the bedrock of the most fundamental unit of government: the family. And Bible believing Christians obviously know that these families consists of husbands and wives and, God-willing, their offspring (and progenitors, in many cases).

A government-sanctioned/“blessed”, default set of contractual and other rights and obligations between two people of the same sex may be a lot of things. But it isn’t, and will never be, a marriage. So yes subverting that institution is an attack on Christians.

Pro-choice ideology attempts to make man the arbiter of life and death. It, and the sub-cult that has grown from it, are a microcosm of all of the rebellions against God portrayed in the Bible, from the fall, to the Tower of Babel, to Sodom, Job’s friends, Joseph’s brothers, David and Bathsheba, the Sanhedrin etc etc.

It also kills people who could otherwise grow up and serve God and neighbor. Which is why Newsom’s billboards are so grotesquely absurd.

How’s that for your baseline?

Cowardly dowvoters can't make a coherent argument, huh?

If you believe this “article” is interesting, then you’re another prime example of the effectiveness of propaganda on the feeble minded. The political left ones it’s very existence on idiots such as you.
