I am sorry you feel despised. Religious beliefs in general benefit the lives of the faithful in innumerable ways. It has greatly helped civilization move away from lawlessness and immorality. However we are now a civilization of laws & knowledge; not yet perfect, but with other tools and norms to support the kind of behaviors that keep us civilized. We don't need religious faith to know that a stable home is beneficial for the child. I think what the left doesn't like is 1) bringing church back into state, 2) People who use their faith to judge others and 3) people who use their faith to try to control others. We have good laws built around trying to be blind and treat everybody the same. This is a system that can work for everyone; attaching religion to government automatically puts people of other religions in opposition.
And please don't be offended if I ask, are you doing anything to promote publically the benefits of a stable home environment with married parents?
Oh good heavens. I think you’ve been reading too much Atwood. Stay away from binging Handmaid’s Tale. You obviously think we’re all gunning for a theocracy.
Not all, and not you. I meant the left does not despise you because of your views, the left despises Lauren Boebert, MTG, Josh Hawley, Kristy Noem and others that literally say there should be no separation of church and state. The left despises people who publically proclaim their faith in one sentence then demonstrate judgement or call for violence in the next. I may have been making a veiled case against faith and apologize for addressing you with it. Please do not restrict your interactions in places like these because of me. I was probably triggered by something else when I commented.
Thank you for your response. I admit I was tired when I responded. I try to be respectful but don’t always succeed.
Christian Nationalism and Seven Mountain Dominionism are heretical. Jesus responded, even at the time, to the agitation of His followers telling them His Kingdom was not of this world. To this day some Xns still find that perplexing.
I have the same issues with Boebert et. al. that you do. I add to it embarrassment that these politicians are considered exemplars of my faith.
