Because when there are two extremes, the truth is usually somewhere in the middle
The right... Everyone who disagrees with me hates America
The.left.... everyone I don't like is literally Hitler
The centrist.... You're both stupid
Whoa dude. I was making observations and asking questions. Same as you. No need for name calling. Maybe you should take a break from this thread. You did say you were getting exasperated.
We can disagree. I still love you brother

I used to be a Christian but I'm not anymore but I have read the Bible and nowhere in the Bible does it say to force your beliefs on others
So by trying to use legislation to stop same-sex couples from getting married, you are forcing your beliefs on others
Thank you for sharing that. I understand more now. Peace to you dude 😎

Reading US history one would know . The changes of laws are being forced on Christian people. Sin is a cancer the USA needs a healing.

Miss the point much?
The point is people think centrism is fence riding, but it's really not. The centrist is someone who feels like both the left and the right are prone to irrelevant emotional rhetoric and not everything is black and white

I am also a centrist and I am proud to say that I haven’t voted since 1996.

Centrism is a political outlook or position involving acceptance or support of a balance of social equality and a degree of social hierarchy while opposing political changes that would result in a significant shift of society strongly to the left or the right. Both centre-left and centre-right politics involve a general association with centrism that is combined with leaning somewhat to their respective sides of the left–right political spectrum.

What exactly is being forced on Christian people? When someone kicks down your door and takes your Bible then you might have a point but I don't see that happening

Show me one scripture in the Bible where it says to force your beliefs on others.
I never said it was right to force my beliefs on others . Again you are not being honest with what i have posted. I do not believe in forcing Christianity on any one . In my opinion that can not be done.

Although this is a forum and not a city i think the scripture fits .
Mar_6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

For what ever purpose , you have placed yourself in a Christian forum. You are the one here attempting to force your antichrist beliefs on others in their city so to speak .

You will not be able to influence believers. Jesus will not loose any the Father has given Him.
Sounds to me like you are mad at God , been there about 5 years of it , over the way my Dad died . So thankful that burden has lifted.

I joined this group in 2011 when I used to be christian. I'm not anymore
And not one time on this four I'm here by ever tried to talk anyone out of their Christian beliefs because I'm not here for that.
It's just a lot of Christians think that anyone disagreeing with them equates to persecution
And if you're trying to stop a same-sex couple from getting married and yes you are forcing your beliefs on people
