Most right wingers simply use gay marriage and abortion as a means to make themselves appear more holy than they actually are. One notices that the majority of them have the most convenient theologies, have supportive or wealthy families, and are involved in absolutely zero charity or missionary work.
Same sex marriage is frankly irrelevant, first off- Trump hits the nail on the head with that. It is something rarely seen and has no real influence on society. If people want to damn themselves, then so be it, it's an earthly document and Separation of Church and State ensures it.
I see alcohol destroying people's lives, but there's a supreme shortage of these people being against alcohol because they are simply A LOT MORE WORLDLY than they report to be. Their desire for alcohol being legal trumps their so called convictions of righteousness
Why don't people 'rightly divide' that nonsense :chuckle:
And as far as abortion, it cannot fully go away- to be honest you are a complete fool to consider that Roe v Wade can be overturned- the only way you are going to do that is to wage another civil war with the states, because this country just isn't going to let it happen.
The only thing one can do is to reform the institution.
Thus far, just like you in your ever convenient rationalizations; a good dozen or so "right dividers" on TOL have had no problem at all with throwing out the window all they have for years fought with everyone on TOL against as to various immorality issues...
All for the sake of justifying their support of a man who's entire history has been one of one financial and political scandal after another; one about face after another on his word, sex scandals, you name it.
You can bet you were all huge fans of that 8 year farce of his The Apprentice :chuckle:
I have ALWAYS admired his great creativity and ability to survive his endless, self-enduced mishaps.
I still do.
He is going to make for one heck of a fascinating President.
Except that now, he The Swamp Thing himself, has come home to The Swamp.
Now, he will merely be just one more Swamp Thing among others even more ruthless, even more cunning, just as egomaniacal; and very determined to ensure their Swamp remains THEIR Swamp both during, and after, he has moved on...
Still, Trump is a survivor par excellence.
But then again, I have also always greatly admired Al Capon's amazing organizational genius, and have greatly read up on his equally fascinating history as well.
One thing I have learned from all that is that it is one thing to be amazed and impressed by such splendor.
It is another altogether, to allow oneself to be taken in by it.
I do strongly believe that my fellow right dividers should at least know better.
Mark 13:1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! 13:2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 13:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 13:4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
