(May 26, 2022 at 10:05 pm)Fake Messiah Wrote: GOP candidate for governor proposes new abortion 'punishment' after claiming life begins 'before conception'
Quote:"So I believe life begins in God before it begins at conception," he said, noting that his "plan is to push the legislators on both chambers as per their Republican GOP stance in Oklahoma to present this bill to the houses with the people behind it."
"Is it going to stop abortion all the way by people's choices? No," he said. "But do we need to create laws that match the punishment, that match the crime? Yes. And if we do that, God's hand and blessing will be back on this land. And it's going to take hard calls. It's going to take some guts."

Maybe God should do his own dirty work for a change.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

"All the pagans were under the power of demons. Temples were built to demons, altars were set up to demons, priests ordained for the service of demons, sacrifices offered to demons, and ecstatic ravers were brought in as prophets for demons." - Augustine of Hippo
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

“There is not one verse in the Bible inhibiting slavery, but many regulating it. It is not then, we conclude, immoral.” (Rev. Alexander Campbell)

Pope Francis says Ukraine war was ‘perhaps somehow provoked’
“We do not see the whole drama unfolding behind this war, which was, perhaps, somehow either provoked or not prevented.”

Pastor Kent Christmas claims that he can immediately tell that someone is gay just by looking at them because the demonic spirit inside of them "changes the physical appearance of people."
