Should white male Conservative Christians be a protected group now?

Is this thread about MAGA Christians™, real Christians, or both?

Meh, when someone kills someone or gets busted on a serious felony around here they are held till trial without bail.

Move to a better place that takes the laws already on the books seriously.

The laws are there, they just need to be applied.....Anyplace that has cashless bail is a place to move away from most rinky-tink.

Pretty simple stuff really.

Agree, but why leave people and area's behind instead of fighting for them ?? Like you said, cashless bail is a major problem now, so the law or act must be removed or changed. Nothing wrong with changing or enacting laws that stop chaos and anarchy in society, but what does matter is who it is or what party it is that will be changing or enacting new laws. Wrong party will reak havoc among civilized society. The Obama Biden administration's were prime examples of how not to lead or run a country.

Your attempt to distract is seen for what it is leftist.

On a serious note, if laws aren't quickly enacted in order to directly address the problem's, otherwise to make certain activities illegal that has led to the problem, then this country has become totally feckless in it's ability to lead itself out of danger, and therefore danger will increase exponentially in this nation as it tries to sort itself out in a chaotic and anarchist mayhem kind way.

True, but like everything sin is redeemable thank God, and what's done is done as long as it's meaning has changed within the heart.

But they keep the tattoo.

Is it an admission by the left that there are groups that are more protected than others right now? If so you have to justify them before you move on to Christians.

 

[ColonelAngus]

No, for two reasons:

1) No one should be a "protected groups," implying that other groups will not get the same protection, even though they pay the same taxes. "Equal protection" is a thing.

1) If there were to be certain "protected groups," it should be groups that are struggling to take care of themselves. White Male Christians* do very well with that. We do well for the same reason that Jews and Asians often do even better: a culture that values work, self-reliance, and education, and more importantly, stigmatizes those who refuse opportunities for any of those.


*By "Christians" I mean people who would list Protestant, Catholic, or Mormon as their religion if ever that question is asked anymore, not that they attend church a minimum number of times per year, or any other standard someone might set to be a "real Christian."

I was being facetious. Of course not. There should be no classes that have greater punishment for crimes against than any other.

HATE CRIME is stupid AF.

PROSECUTE THE ******* CRIME.

They can because the flesh assendeth not, and if the heart is free then the tats only become a reminder or testimony of a sinner that has transcended from sin to the light. Sin was controlling the mindset where thinking that marking the body up was cool and getting in with the pact was the thing to do.

The foundation of Western civilization and especially Judeo-Christian values is at risk and THAT is what must be protected. It's not about race or gender, it's about these ancient beliefs that are beautiful and produce beautiful citizens when followed.

Trump is working overtime to make sure that America doesn't follow the U.K and other European nations who decimated their cultural history with mass illegal immigration. He should be supported on this.

For the record, Canada is also being more critical of accepting students and immigration from certain countries. We realize that our nation is based on critical historical beliefs from Britain, our laws, even in a primarily non-religion nation (division of state from religion) is still based on Judeo-Christian values.

These common threads between Jews and Christians is important to bind and I swear to Hashem that this will be one of my lifes objectives.

I am in a unique position to understand both religions quite well and it's clear, especially without the progressive contribution of Judaism but with shared tenets across Christianity as promoted by Jesus via the Torah; our civilization would be FAR less enjoyable without this religious contribution

We believe in free speech, just courts, equality of people regardless of gender or race, we aren't seeing people thrown off of buildings due to their sexuality, we don't have citizens engaging in mass terrorism (in general).

Protect Judeo-Christianity. We can separate religion from government but we must not abandon our critical beliefs and cultural history.

We don't need to separate religion from government. The Founders certainly didn't. All we need to do is ensure that no religious group ever gains control of government and creates a theocracy here. The Founders in their wisdom designed a representative government that almost ensures that won't/can't happen.

And we need to be ever vigilant to keep the federal government from suppressing religion, religious expression, religious traditions so long as these do not violate the rights of others. And so long as our population remains strongly JudeoChristian, we have a fighting chance to retain the positive values of freedom, justice, etc. that are embodied in that.

Our government has indeed suppressed religion, religious expression, religious traditions, especially Christian ones. And that is tragic in my opinion and has contributed to a lot of evil in our society. We have never ever been in danger of being a theocracy.

All citizens and legal visitors in the USA should be equally protected at all times however. I think it wrong to give any demographic special preference for protection.

They are clearly being targeted for their beliefs…so they should be protected and if you kill one it is extra bad and they are extra dead and you should get extra death penaltied.

As scared of everything as you are; you sound like you need a safe space.

Race and religious beliefs are already protected classes. Political ideology is not a protected class, nor should it be.

You should be protected for what you are, not for what you choose.
