How exactly is she enforcing anything via a case that hasn't even been heard yet, much less ruled upon?

Do you really think she was installed without a preprogrammed agenda?

Your apologia should be expected I guess as both a Christian and a Lawyer.

People said the same thing about Roberts and Gorsuch too.

You really need to climb off your high horse. Or did you forget your using a full-on slur regarding your straw religious people in a private message to me recently?

Christianity deserves far worse than colorful language.

'Jesus freak' doesn't have much sting when it's frequently used as a self descriptor by American Christians.

Funny, they'd probably say the same thing about a gay person. But that's ok because you're doing it for a good reason, right?

Both sides are morally equivalent.

I call Christians mean names.

Christians install politicians, lawmakers and judges that enforce religious discrimination and theocracy.

I'm such a meanie.

So your defense is that you're being a bigot, but it's okay, because you're not as bigoted as some of the people you're bigoted towards?

My defense is that I don't seek to deprive anyone of their rights.

My defense is that I don't seek to install a theocracy akin to the Taliban at the highest levels of the American government.

Self-righteousness is a hell of a drug.

Abrahamic blood cultists would know.

Why was this Supreme Court Justice slammed through the senate while RBG's corpse was still cooling on the slab?

Because HER BELIEFS AND RULINGS ARE ALREADY KNOWN.

Yurtle the satanic turtle doesn't leave things as important as theocracy up to chance and opinion.

This is a bad faith response.

You know exactly how she will rule.

She was picked because her opinion on every topic is already known.

I thought I knew exactly how John Roberts would rule on cases, but it turns out I didn’t. Hyperbole on either side of the political coin is hyperbole.

Also, I know some Christians that are pretty amazing. They’re New Testament types. They actually try and follow the teachings of Christ. They’re more liberal than I am.

OftenBen  ·  1239 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Also,

Every flesh and blood Christian i know would be eager to explain to you that your liberal buddies aren't True Christians.

thenewgreen  ·  1239 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Ok. Sounds like you’re spending time with the wrong Christians.

OftenBen  ·  1239 days ago  ·  link  ·  

What relevance does who I hang out with have on how the Supreme Court of the United States rules?

OftenBen  ·  1239 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Every single flesh and blood christian i know voted Trump.

They are PROUD of it.

thenewgreen  ·  1239 days ago  ·  link  ·  

The majority of Christians I know are very liberal.

Not True Christians tm.*

ACB is a cultist who spent an extended period of time living in a fundamentalist catholic compound.

New testament she ain't, unless you count all the homophobia and rampant sexism.
