Engaged Gay Marriage

The bible also says that babies should be beaten against rocks and that fathers should sell their daughters as sex slaves. If you wear more than one type of fabric, you are committing a sin. Why is it okay for you to sin but not okay for people to love who they want? And by the way, something called the separation of church and state exists!

"The Bible also says that babies should beaten against rocks"

You took that verse WAY too literally. This verse (If you interpret it correctly) is saying that those who discipline their children are blessed. They would be blessed because the Bible commands parents to love BUT also discipline their children.

"Fathers should sell their daughters as sex slaves"

I'm to going to waste time on that one. Just read all of Exodus 21.

"If your wear more than one type of fabric, you are committing a sin"

God commanded that only as an OT law. It was to show that He set the Israelites apart from the rest of the pagan cultures.

Not quite buddy, we are a nation of separation between church and state, you can dilly-dally in whatever beliefs you want, but an entire country of infinitely different beliefs ain't gonna dilly in the same way you dally yk.

“we are a nation of separation between church and state,”

I've seen this argument a lot. This was actually in a letter from Thomas Jefferson to a group of Baptists (I forget what they were officially called). This is cited nowhere in the Constitution nor is it the Federalist Papers which laid the foundation for the Constitution. Also, what Thomas Jefferson and the Founding Fathers meant when they wrote the First Amendement and the letter the Baptists was that, unlike their European counterparts, tjeir would be no state religion.

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.”
