Former President Donald Trump is celebrating Easter -- the holiday commemorating the Resurrection of the Christian Messiah, Jesus Christ -- by hawking copies of his new product, the God Bless the U.S.A. Bible ...
@#13 ... Liberals have openly and candidly positioned themselves as the enemy of Christ.
As an example, the law suit closing down a Christian baker who was deliberately harassed until he was out of business hit a nerve with evangelicals. The gay couple could have took their business elsewhere but they chose to push their obsession and hatred all the way to the Supreme Court. ...
Yeah, but so many other questions..
Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission
en.wikipedia.org
... In a 7-2 decision, the Court ruled that the Commission did not employ religious neutrality, violating Masterpiece owner Jack Phillips's rights to free exercise, and reversed the Commission's decision.
The Court did not rule on the broader intersection of anti-discrimination laws, free exercise of religion, and freedom of speech, due to the complications of the Commission's lack of religious neutrality. ...
So the Court was quite specific in their judgment.
@#25 ... Not my thing, but you probably don't want to go there. :-) ...
Yeah. Seconds after I posted that I said to myself, ... uh-oh.
My "problem" is that I have this book on the end-table next to the sofa I usually sit on. So it is convenient to read. Within reach.
The Complete Parallel Bible with the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical Books: New Revised Standard Version, Revised English Bible, New American Bible, New Jerusalem

(apologies for the amazon.com link, but the search engines didn't turn up a non-purchase link)
I spend a lot of time in that book trying to undersand the Bible.
But yeah, I read that, and I see differences.
For example, "thou shalt not kill" vs "thou shalt not murder." That is significant.
That is why I said that various interpretations of the Bible may open up so many questions.
Apropos?

Camper Van Beethoven - Good Guys and Bad Guys (1986)

Lyrics excerpt...
...
Well there are good guys and there are bad guys
And there are crooks and criminals
There are doctors and there are lawyers
And there are folks like you and me
...
So just be glad you live in america
Just relax and be yourself
Cuz if you didn't live here in america
You'd probably live somewhere else
...
