I find it interesting to see you mention the White House specifically. Just a few blocks away, terrorists breached the capitol building when Trump was in office. They didn't come from Iran. They didn't come from Mexico. They came from the US. Right-wing US to be specific. A few years ago, a...

Yeah, but .... her emails.....

I don't know if this is going to work...

I read the books decades before the movies came out. I saw the movies, too, but the books are much better.

It's not so much that anything "confuses" me, but that I get a different understanding from someone else. I read a passage, and it's "clear, obvious" message to me is something very different than it's "clear, obvious" message to someone else. Sometimes my "clear, obvious" understanding will be...

It isn't. If it were, there would be no disagreement. There is significant disagreement. Therefore, it is not "quite simple." We would, if what was on the page were simple and straight-forward.

That is a valid point. Maybe the extra baggage does exclude them from being Christian. But you still haven't said how. You have listed things you think Catholics do that is "extra," but you haven't said how that necessarily bans them from heaven. So I ask again, what, exactly, is necessary...

For me, most of the denominational difference are less about theological differences and more about differences in worship tastes. I don't think Jesus cares about whether you use contemporary praise songs or traditional hymns or Gregorian chant in your worship. For some people, the first is the...

I get that. The question is, are Catholics Christian? I think they are. I think the "extra baggage" you speak of, while wrong, does not invalidate their Christianity. It's unnecessary, but it doesn't remove their salvation. A god who would condemn someone for following the religion descended...

Well, like with anything, where ever 3 or 4 are gathered, you'll find 5 different opinions about it! But here's a general outline: First of all, I find it funny that we're called "liberal Christians." If you don't know church history, you might be tempted to think that "liberal Christians" are...

Jesus is the revealed Word of God.

I actually generally agree with this. While I normally side with the liberals on some issues, including gay rights, when it comes to businesses, this is one place where liberals and I part ways. I am a tax preparer, and own my own business. If I wanted to say that I refuse to do taxes for...

I have not witnessed such censorship by the US government. I have witnessed "censorship" by various corporate entities, some right-aligned and some left-aligned, but a business can choose its own content. It's not censorship, it's just the corporation making decisions about what to allow and...

Ah, yes. Putting a southern drawl on it, it makes more sense.

^^^This.

So if I understand correctly, you believe that individuals who have the ability to donate blood, or organs, or other body parts should be forced to do so against their will, as long as it is to save the life of someone else?

That is a lie. I have said countless times that I do not support him. You continue to lie despite being told the truth. You are continuing in that lie, and in bearing false witness against a neighbor. That is by definition un-Christian. I wouldn't say I "mocked" him or have "hate" for him. I...

Semantics, but okay. You suggested he/she had dementia. I would never do such a thing.

Indeed "I have seen..." I'm guessing English is not your first language, and I sympathize with anyone who is learning English as an adult; it's a horribly difficult language to learn. But for the record, the present perfect tense is "I have seen" or "I've seen." The present tense would be "I...
