God should not be brought into politics

Some people don’t share the same religious beliefs as you and that’s ok, let them be happy.

I'm right; they're wrong. They can cry about it if they want to.

"I'm right they're wrong"

You evidence?

Also we think we are right and you are wrong. And guess what we are both right! It doesn't matter what you believe LGBTQ+ people deserve to have the same rights as everyone else. You can go on a rant about it if you want.

 @B8Q8GPC from Wyoming  agreed…7mos7MO

Regarding LGBTQ+ rights, the Bible affirms the dignity and worth of every human being since we’re all made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27). So everyone deserves respect and kindness. That doesn’t mean we have to agree on every belief, but it does mean we should treat each other with love.

 @BBCJ69W  from Texas  commented…4mos4MO

And that’s what an uneducated wannabe smart guy would say. If you don’t have the proof to even back up your stance, that’s a scrawny and ignorant take on gay marriage. At least say you’re christian and god made it wrong. Seriously. At least try.

God dont like ugly

 @B8Q8GPC from Wyoming  commented…7mos7MO

God looks at the heart, not just the outside: 1 Samuel 16:7 says, “The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

 @9T7WGYKRepublican from Georgia  commented…2yrs2Y

The founding documents of this country including the Declaration of Independence brought God into politics, have you ever read that document?

 @9TTMQNGCommunist from Minnesota  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I have! And I happen to have read another founding document called the US Constitution, and it has a nifty little part of it called "The First Amendment."

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

If they really wanted to bring God into politics, would they have written that part about "an establishment of religion"?

Separation of Church and State, not God and State.

 @B97542C  from Connecticut  commented…6mos6MO

There is no statement saying "separation of church and state", that is just a shorthand we like to quote. The constitution says we shall not establish religion. Nothing in the constitution can be interpreted to mean we should apply religious beliefs when establishing laws. Instead we should try to establish laws based on empirical evidence that those laws make sense. In this case there is empirical evidence that same sex marriage is just as healthy for all (including children), poses no threat to anyone, therefore we should allow it. If you don't like it you don't actually have to engage in an LGBT "lifestyle", that's up to you... freedom is the overarching principle here.

you can't have one but not the other. God is part of the church so you can't have god in the state but not God.

 @MAGA_Deplorable from Washington  disagreed…2yrs2Y

You and I both know (I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you have a nonzero IQ here) that basing laws on religious values is a far cry from Congress creating a National Church of the United States that all taxpayers are required to send money to. The First Amendment was written to prevent THAT, it was NOT written to make America a Secular Nation, that's for dang sure.

 @9XN4F9DDemocrat  from Texas  corrected…2yrs2Y

“"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."If they really wanted to bring God into politics, would they have written that part about "an establishment of religion"?”

I don't think you understand what that part of the first amendment even means. It doe NOT mean that they wanted us to have a christian nation, or wanted us to bring religion into our government. It in facts means the exact opposite.

"The First Amendment of the United States Constitution states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion".

This clause, known as the Establishment Clause, was written primarily by James Madison.

It reflects the widespread agreement after Independence that there should be no nationally established church."

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
