American United or AU inforcing seperation of church and state

Which slight against Nancy Pelosi, again? Yes, a priest can enforce morality and morals, such as respect for life, etc., durig a homily (or preacher during a sermon), and enforce the importance of that upon the people in attendence.

Here's the most umimportant quote of the day.

The Abolitionist Movement was strongly Christian.

Believe it or not but you can be christian and be agianst seperation of Church and state and understand that no everyone in the United States is Christian or have that set of beliefs.

We are freedom or religion nation
not a christian nation

Right. But you asked what the Bible had to do with ending slavery. I merely pointed out that most abolitionists were devout Christians.

Oh, I forgot about my sig. Uh, so I don't like Pelosi means I am agenda laden? The fact that you are so mad about it is proof of your agenda. And your semantics arguments are really starting to annoy me. A priest can enforce ('to urge with energy') the teachings of the Church on abortion, and tell people about the morals of the Church because they are important. ANd they should not be taxed for it. I really think you're just looking for an argument, no matter how ridiculous.

And you don't want to bottle up your anger like that, keep letting it out. It doesn't matter that it makes no sense. You may want to learn that there are people who disagree with you and that's no reason to throw a temper tantrum while you're at it.

Ah, there is that absence of responsibility. You forgot about the quote you have on your page? Typical.

And yes, you're "agenda-laden", because you tout propaganda as if it is fact, or means something. That's what Republicans do...and Fox News is your de facto mouthpiece.

And your semantics are equally annoying. A priest can , indeed, "enforce" (urge with energy) the teachings of Christ, but can he make the congregation adhere to those teachings? Perhaps with persuasion.... perhaps with the threat of "hellfire"...perhaps, with love and compassion. But it is incumbent upon the listener, "who has the ears to hear", to act upon what is prescibed or endorsed, or here, "enforced".

I'm saying that sometimes, people fail to "act upon" that which is being enforced, and incur "consequences", such as being condemned or "being oustered from a church".
Did the priest or minister, in fact, "enforce" morality? My argument is he did not...because it was not his to enforce...it is likened to "a garment, to be worn"...Can I wear your sweater for you? I cannot. Neither can morality be enforced, or a better word, "inflicted" upon an individual...one can receive punishment for non-adherence, but one either has a sense of morality or he or she doesn't.

Agreed. The church should not be taxed for the teaching or preaching of church doctrine. However, when "a church", or "a denomination", chooses to endorse a particular political candidate over another, to further their own agenda or particular view, they have trespassed the "fine line' of separation of church and State, IMHO, and deserve "to be taxed", as they have violated their "tax exempt" status. Point. Clear. Immutable.

Furthermore,
I'm angry. Yes...I'm angry about the state we're in.
Where hypocrites, right and left, hyperventilate, and blow hot air, about what they think other people ought to do about anything. Messing with other folks' toothpicks, while they can't see for the big ol log in their eye.
Save us from the self-righteous, right wing, moral majority, bible thumpers, who are the biggest hypocrites on the face of the Earth...and don' t have a leg to stand upon, judging other people. The most intolerant, un-loving, un-Christ-like, and, quite often, the most ignorant people on the planet

I've been a person of color my whole life, i do not feel treated differently. Or is it just blacks that feel this?

You mean to say, being a person of color, you've never experienced "racism" or discrimination?

Or neither. I'm a minority who doesn't feel victimised and you find that strange?Probably to both, but by the same token who hasn't in one way or another? Probably no one on the planet including whites?

What makes you a person of color? Because, your answers are suspect.
And I'm inclined to believe that you are a right wing extremist, based on your ID, ( A "Peace sign"), as "Footprint of the American Chicken"

Seems you have quite a few issues. All of which I seem to be at odds with.

"Desiring Peace", does not mean that you are weak, or operate from a position of weakness...it means that you cannot bully your way around the globe, and enforce your will on other peoples...no matter how right you thnk you are, and how wrong you think they are.

Feminism "is' a minority social movement, prodominant in the 60's and 70's, which has "morphed" into a broader based entity, which has to do with women's rights (i.e. equal pay for equal work, maternity leave, childcare, etc...)...and they don' t believe in the "murder of children"...I know you "pro-lifers" love to spin that...but some in the medical community, professionals, and people in positions of authority, along with a large segment of society do not believe that fetuses or embryos are children...anymore than egg yolks are baby chicks...the outcome is unsure.

Fox is an extremist right wing mouthpiece and cheerleading section for the Republican party and platform...which doesn't possess the decency or the integrity to hold this present corrupt , criminal administration to accountability. The candidates who wouldn't dignify that network, and lend it credibility by appearing on it, in any fashion or form, are courageous and heroic, exhibiting belief in a truly "fair and balanced" America...which lives up to its' creed.....life, liberty and justice for all....not just people who believe as you do. Tilt-A-Whirl
Oh, and the "fear mongering" about Democrats and liberals being afraid of Al-Quida....9/11 was an equal opportunity massacre...Democrats died along with Republicans...liberals with conservatives...gays with straights, women with men...pro-lifers with pro-choicers...and so on....stop acting like you all have a monopoly on outrage and revenge. Nobody is afraid of anyone.
We just have a different view as how to address it...with diplomacy, carrying a "big stick"...stop portraying Dems and liberals as "pantywaists"...we need to be united as Americans....the borders are a joke...whose watch is it on?
Dems don't have a majority in Congress and the Republicans are being obstructionists...not the Dems fault...so stop it. You Republicans have had your turn...you had the majority for 6 years, and look at the mess you made.
Look at all the scandals.
Now it's time for the Dems to correct (if possible) the biggest mess in our history. Move out the way.

And to address your previous post....
Don't play crazy...discrimination against whites doesn't even compare or impact the way discrimination against POC has...have whites been denied civil rights, the right to vote (in an open election), racial profiling, equity in the application of laws, employment, pay, education...and on and on and on and on....I was born at night, but not "last night".

Because, your answers are suspect.
