Hi @FatAndFaithless
Sorry that what I post comes across the opposite to you
as what I'm saying.
I'm saying that the Constitution has to be enforced with the same spirit of Restorative Justice that is the TRUE meaning of Christianity.
Uh, I still think that's wrong, and I have no idea how you came up with the "true" Christianity. We have a handful of theists that differ from you that also claim to have the true Christianity.
Quote:I think you are taking some messed up teachings that Christians do to their own religion, and then thinking I'm applying that.
No, I couldn't care less what 'messed up things' Christians have done when it comes to the Constitution, there is nothing in the Constitution that comes from Christianity.
Quote:We are supposed to love our neighbors as ourselves
and Love one another as "Jesus loves us" which is SUPPOSED
to mean EQUAL Justice under Law, so we are SUPPOSED
to defend and protect each other's rights equally.
That's not happening with either Christianity or Constitutional
laws unless you really inject the equal love of neighbor into them.
I agree, that people ain't doing this and that's why political bullying has corrupted both church and state authority and turned them into insufferable messes.
People AREN'T respecting or protecting each other's interests
equally but are pushing their own ABOVE the beliefs/will of others.
To correct that, we need to start enforcing Equal Justice for All.
And that is what Christianity is SUPPOSED to mean. I'm going by the REAL meaning, not the garbage you see going on with religious abuses
(same with how real Constitutionalism ain't what we see politicians, courts or congress doing either. just making messes by abusing power for private interests corrupting both church and state.)
Drivel, crowbarring your personal interpretation of Christianity into the secular Constitution is exactly what theists have been trying to do for years, all with slightly different versions of the "True" Christianity.
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.
