Attention all Hardline, Rightwing, Ultra Conservative GOP Christians

Sign Holders Believe in Christianity and Other Religions are Not Allowed or Tolerated

One is the Nation's Laws, the Other is Ethical and Moral Guidelines


This subject has always interested me and made me explore more about the meaning and differences between “Man-made laws vs. God-made laws” more so today the topic divides the country more than I have ever seen in my lifetime. And bashing other religions, fair game - worse, those who profess to have no preference. Now the USSC is back in the thick of it - in our bedrooms as the article outlines ... as if Hobby-Lobby wasn't enough about controlling a woman's right to choose her own birth control and not her frigging boss or business manger or company or corporation — yuk.

A lot of references are out there to explore – sadly, Christian hardliners will only cite one source, their Bible, while ignoring all others: It's the Bible or nothing.  

Source #1: Quite detailed and has this opening headline:

20 Jesus Biblical Quotes That Would Make A
 "Christian Right-Winger’s" Head Explode

My fav quote out of those many well-known ones is this:

“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?” [Luke 6:41 KJV]

That is Jesus’ famous quote about hypocrisy explaining more so today why conservative Christians say one thing and mean another. For example: they talk about the sanctity of marriage between “one man and one woman” while their leaders cheat on their own spouses, some seek gay sex (on the down low), some talk obsessively about rape, some cheat on taxes, some abuse drugs (prescriptions or not), and some engage in illegal acts. Yet, they’re the first to throw a non-violent, first-time drug offender in prison or claim a rape victim was “just asking for it, or the birth is God’s will.”

Please ready the others at the link – they are keepers.

Source #2: “For the Last Time, the Constitution is Not Based on the Bible” – a fact. Please read the whole article.

What is my point, if anything: To me, hardliner Christian conservatives are just that, hardliners and hardcore and rigid and will not budge on anything they perceive that somehow interferes with Bible teachings.

Folks the backbone of our country is not religion other than saying clearly:  [… we have the freedom of religion to worship anyway we choose or not, and government cannot write laws about that]. And, that is precisely why it’s in the Constitution – which is the law of the land and not based on any Bible verses in any sense or as the conservatives love to say sign above says; "God law." I have always wondered, which law are they talking about?  

These are my views and I am sure many will disagree 100% - and that too my friends, is their right.
