Why would Christians want LGBTQ people removed from an anti lynching bill?

Well, they seem to want to be special, more doted on in the law than other categories of human beings, and as far as I can tell, giving them the special mention they want doesn't hurt anyone else.

But if somehow the law could be interpreted that any category of human being is more equal than some other category of human being, that a lynching of one category of human is not equal to a lynching of some other category of human, but more significant, then I would have a problem with the law.

Just to be clear I'm talking actual mob or gang lynching, not metaphorical or philosophical lynching.

 

The problem is, that that's exactly what such 'special mentions' will do. Ultimately, it will be legally tested. A precedent set.

It's always dangerous when people who don't have the intellect to extrapolate (and envision their own laws turned against them), start demanded absurd clauses.

 

Those who wish to control language seek to validate their inroads.

 

Didn't Mrs.No-Sense Pence just take a teaching position at a school that discriminates against the LBGQT community.

 

Yeah if the kid and/ or parents are gay these good Christians won't enroll the student. Primitive humans should never be in charge of education.

 

Really, this topic is actually about the options between stoning and hanging LGBTQ? Is there a debate in here really?

 

Oh, so these things didn't exist before Christianity? Let's just cut out the nonsense. First of all many Christians risked their lives and the lives of their families to save Jews. Do you know anyone that would do the same for Christians? I don't think so. The gratitude of the Jewish survivors was immense, knowing the sacrifice that was being made for them, and they would be appalled at what is being done in their name today.

I know the Vatican was off limits to the Nazis, and 20 thousand Jews were living there. The Pope gave orders for the nuns and priests in Rome to hide the Jews in hospitals, schools etc. Had the Nazis found out, the special priviledges of the Vatican would have been removed. One Irish priest even had a secret escape route to Switzerland. As for Mount Athos in Greece, the only time women were allowed was during the Nazi era when Jewish families were hiding there.

Anyway the Catholic and Orthodox Church never condoned death since it goes against the very premise of their existence which is to save souls. The longer one lives, the greater the chance for them repenting and not falling into eternal damnation. This doesn't mean the Churches didn't torture, etc., but even in the inquisition they did not sentence anyone to death. They had to hand them to the secular authorities and they were the ones who applied the death sentence since they considered them a threat to the state.

 

???? Trump hasn't been beheadings and burning people at the stake. And Jesus supported Caesar and Pontius Pilot. I think he would of expected Christians to support the Donald.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

 

What in the world are you talking about? What anti-lynching bill, where, and when?

 

Especially evangelicals but all so-called Christians who supported Trump are exactly what pope Francis declared as "not Christians". Imposters who betray the teachings of Christ.

 

Pope must of missed that verse in the bible. AND he isn't qualified to determine who is and is not a Christian and only qualified to determine who is and is not a Catholic.

 

Is this the same Pope who apparently has no problem with priests abusing children? So far I have not seen him elected to any offices in the US. I hardly think he is qualified to set policy. He is qualified to voice his opinion just like Harry the wino. I am a Catholic but he doesn't speak for me. If he can get his own house in order, he will have more credibility with me.

 

Yes, I am ashamed of the Church and have fallen away. Cardinal Mahony's homilies were heavenly but his sins hurt innocent kids. Frances is better than pope Benedict and a lovable person.
