2. Well too bad
Not everybody believes and that's their right. He needs to shut up and stop trying to force people to believe in something they don't believe in. Fuck him. Oh so it's okay to say I believe in Christ but turn around and have an affair with the next door boy? :eyes:

3. That's just it right there. They don't want to you to live a moral life.
They just want you to believe in their version of Jesus enough to give them all your money and time.

6. That's pretty damn funny!
Fits perfectly though with that crowd. Please, by all means, please continue starting wars and killing for oil, continue lying stealing and cheating, and please do continue to judge others, just as long as you believe in OUR Jesus ~ you know, the Jesus who collects donations in five gallon buckets and rides around in one of these:

7. Article said it all
If so, the real problem isn't discrimination against "people of faith." It's the claim that "people of faith" have the right to discriminate.

That is all they want. Either you're an evangelical nutcase or you're on a cattle car. Says so in the Bible.
