Does character matter to evangelicals any more?

[rightwinger]

And you can do so or not, you have free will and there is no government force making you worship anything.

Try reading the First Amendment and get back to me
It says nothing about the government making you do anything

 

[kyzr]

It commands you to worship the God in the Bible
Judeo Christian religions

We disagree. Posting the 10 commandments doesn't command you to do anything.
Besides, if you are a Muslim, or a Mormon, or a Buddhist, you can take some words of wisdom or leave them.
One compromise could be to post "words of wisdom" from several religions.

Why are they called commandments?
Is God lying?

Democrats have just given a full throated roar of support for trans killing Christian children. They want to talk about character!

I didn't say it did, I said there is no government edict forcing you to do anything, let alone worship or believe in anything. You have yet to prove me wrong.

Why do you think you have to listen to any commandment if you don't believe or have faith in the source. All you're doing is trolling, it's all you ever do, you're not capable of an honest discussion on anything.

 

[TemplarKormac]

An immediate solution would be for them to quit being hypocrites.

That's not a solution. You need an actionable solution. This childishness is not.

Now you are getting it
People have a freedom FROM religion as well as a right to their own choice of religion

That means they can send their kids to government schools without indoctrination about the religion favored by that community

No doubt evangelicals have become a major force in politics. Their rise to power was fueled by groups like the Moral Majority and their insistence that character matters. Jimmy Carter was said to be unfit for the presidency because one of his interviews was published in Playboy magazine. Clinton's affair with an intern was seen as a personal affront to all that is good. With Trump, character doesn't seem to matter. Evangelicals are even proud of his lapses in honesty claiming that God is using a flawed man to do his will. Does character still matter, or does it just not matter for trump?

This had to end. Trump ended it.

No, that's not what I said, I said if you don't believe in the source of the commandment, then don't follow it or listen to it. That doesn't mean you don't have to hear it or see it, that's ridiculous.

And it's hilarious that you mention indoctrination when that's exactly what the left does in schools today, pushing their secular and hedonistic views.

 

[BothWings]

Thanks for acknowledging morals just aren't as important any more.

And the Democratic party has led the way with that.

We know that Trump is far from a perfect human being but results is what matters. He has been the most consequential President since Lincoln.

No, what that means is that Government does not get to choose a favored religion and try to coerce you to follow it

They are called commandments, follow them or not. We have "free will". No one is forced to follow any "state" religion.
The commandments are good rules for any society.
Better than teaching kids about deviant behaviors.

And that's not what's happening, for the millionth time.

The USA has had a unique style and system of government that has not changed for 250 years now....

Absolutely astounding in real History terms as it has survived longer than any other nation in human history on the planet.

And it was built solely on Judeo Christian values. That God was the Author of man's rights and responsibilities.

This particular style of Government is not for All nations....just for ones with a majority of Christians who believe in those values. If Atheists gain control....it will Disintegrate and degenerate.

Meaning, since mankind has a bad habit of forgetting about God and His values....it too is doomed for destruction. And it's very painful for the residents of a nation when it does collapse. The money system evaporates and starvation will kill at least a third, disease a quarter, and the remaining will kill each other in brutal fighting over diminishing resources. Until the Christians gain control due to atheists dying in droves.

Over history empires have been conquered or simply evaporated....leadership dies and its a whole new country.

Passing a law to display and teach the Ten Commandments does just that

No it doesn't.

How?

PRAISE JESUS!
