Redial,

"Are either based on sunrise/sunset times? My local noise bylaw runs from 22:00 to 0800 all year."

My pots and pans ancient laws weren't actually real, but we could start something new.

And those ancient noise laws lining up with our local noise ordinances...wow...Predestination, right?

Alex,

Next will be banning women from wearing make-up or cutting their hair.

Interestingly, the sacred law just happens to coincide with local noise ordinances that have morning and evening times set.

But must be done outside so evil spirits can hear it.

Maybe Christians should start banging pots and pans every quarter hour.

Say its a newly found sacred tradition thats been overlooked.

Its to scare the evil spirits away.

Pump,

"White men indoctrinated Boaz to look down upon, dehumanize and hate all Muslims"

So long as Muslims don't impose their noises and inconvenient prayer times interrupting anyone else and the plethora of other rituals on the rest of America, I don't see a problem.

The hostages are coming home.

Is there just nothing to celebrate for some people?

Doc,

Maybe I'll do what you suggest.

Take a break.

I'll sit back and watch Trump bring peace to the Middle East.

And watch it stick in the craw of liberals.

There's a few here I wish would plonk me.

I'm putting up Halloween decorations to surprise my wife. A bunch of lite up houses on the mantel.

I'm fine.

Sy,

I'm not the one claiming Biblical rules should be made into law because its in the Bible.

Keep in mind some laws might just happen to be in the Bible but weren't made into law for that reason.

Sy,

"Are there ANY Christian values you want America to function under?"

That's a really stupid question.

You guys are the ones wanting to see immigrants enter the US running loose because you think that's what Jesus would do.

South,

"Isn't it about time to plonk Bill Johnsn? (and the others...) I did... Years of nonsense.... energy drain.... move on...."

By all means...plonk me. I consider it a badge of honor.

No one is forcing you to read my posts.

My only complaint is the plonk system only works if you're logged in.

Dan,

Is that a litmus test for you?

Dan,

"Because you've never answered."

Yes I have.

Dan,

You're a broken record.

Johnny,

"Republicans make up a fake issue out of fake evidence and you expect liberals to act like it is real?"

Democrats made up a fake issue out of fake evidence and you expect conservatives to act like it's real?

You mean like the fake Russia collusion story paid for by Hillary's campaign when the Steele dossier was later admitted by the FBI to be fabricated or unverified?

Here...I fixed that for you.

Sy,

"According to Jesus, compassion for strangers...
Laws can be terrible.
Are you sure you are a Christian?"

As I said to another poster earlier.

Do you really want America to function under Christian values or just when it suits you?

Snoofy,

We're done....

It's not because your logic is so superior.

It's that you're pulling BS out of your butt and I'm not in the mood to see it.

Snoofy,

"That's what you do with gay marriage."

Not me.

Have I ever said "gays are an abomination according to the Bible" so they shouldn't have rights?

Have I ever said "gay marriage is blasphemous" and should be outlawed?

Are you suggesting I've ever said anything remotely like that?

Snoofy,

"So ICE agents aren't people, or illegal immigrants aren't people?"

Isn't that what this whole "photogate" really comes down to?

Are people angry the photo was fake or that it's being used to justify enforcing immigration law?

I've said before Christian values and secular values oftentimes clash.

Which should take precedent, compassion for strangers or defending the rule of law?

This isn't a religious issue. It's a secular problem about law enforcement and border security.

Trying to weaponize Christian values to manipulate religious people into agreeing with your political views is disingenuous.

Corky,

"A country of by and for the People that want to claim to a Christian nation only when it's convenient isn't Christian at all."

Do you really want America to be a "Christian nation" or do you only play the "Christian" card "when it's convenient", as you say?

Angry,

"I can't believe you dumb fugs are responding to the garbage human being that calls itself "billjohnson".

As if liberals haven't doctored photos or misrepresented photos to wrong events.

The next time this is done by democrats, I expect equal outrage.

correction...not necessarily the government.

Corky,

"The second was to love your neighbor as yourself... in including strangers and immigrants."

That was intended for individuals and necessarily the government.

Jesus wasn't laying out government policy.

He didn't tell Rome how to run its borders or tax system.

He told people how to treat one another.
