Why some Christians are incompatible with a free society

[Midnight FM]

While not all Christians interpret the Bible in the same way, if a Christian interprets parts of the Bible, particularly the Old Testament, literally, then I would argue that they are incompatible with our free society and our Constitution.

America is a nation where, for example, men and women have equal rights and freedoms under the law.

The government of the Biblical Old Testament, however, is an authoritarian, theocratic government in which rights and freedoms in our contemporary sense did not exist. It allowed for the owning of slaves, for example, or the stoning to death of people who worked on the Sabbath.

Not all Christians or Jews believe that the laws of the Old Testament, such as Jewish dietary laws, should be literally applied into modern times (similar to how not all Muslims believe that Sharia Law should be literally applied into modern times), however, if they do, then their beliefs are incompatible with America, free societies, and our Constitution, and would be better off suited to an authoritarian, 3rd world country, such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, or North Korea.

Why do you start so many absurd threads, one after another?

Are you desperate for attention? Or are you simply that retarded?

Most of them are obviously self-excusing and self-promoting with respect to Islam...

The Bible is all about free will.

Starting w/Adam & Eve.

So wrong again OP.

One more strike and you're out.

One of the key characteristics of a free society is that people of all beliefs are compatible with it.

So Islamists who want to institute Sharia Law are compatible with it?

Some Christians don't mix well in a democratic society.

Some Jews don't either.

Neither do a lot of atheists.

And all of this is apropos to what.

Or, just a troll.

We have members and sects from the three major branches of Abrahamic religions who cannot operate in free societies because they do not recognize the basic rights associated with human beings.

And I don't want to hear from you Jews. Their are some sects in Wilmington, New York, that are down right nutty when it comes to women and their place in their society.,

We’re not interested in hearing from you either.

So what is a woman's place in society intended to be and who determined that?

Excuse me. I mean the goofy Jews.

fncceo may be a silly Jew. I do not know.

Old Testament values aside, the Founding Fathers thought that freedom of religious expression was so important that they addressed it in the 1st Amendment to the Bill of Rights. Live with it and respect it and quit whining about Christian values while ignoring the craziness contained in the Islamic Koran.

Of course; and who wrote the Old Testament? That's right, Jews. Oops, I think your trolling backfired, OP.
