@Chum dog, as a fellow Christian, I agree with you 100%. I believe in separation of Church and State. If the Government makes you convert to a religion, they can also say anything they want and corrupt the teachings to beter set their goals

@Chum dog, not sure how I feel about a pastor with the tag “chum dog”, but I agree with you, so… maybe not taking yourself too seriously is what’s needed here.

@TheLongConn22, ya know…I never really connected the dots on how that name could sound suggestive haha. But you’re right. Definitely wasn’t the intent it was just a nickname that kinda developed when I was in high school in reference to something totally different. I could change it but at this point I don’t really care lol

@Chum dog, so much I want to say to convey how much I agree with you (on state religion). Was curious about the name but it didn’t distract me on the thought process you stated. I figured your name had something to do with fishing. But to circle back, anytime the state, government, or crown mandated a specific faith, carnage ensued. Not something I want to witness, as a Christian or as a human. I’m praying for your swift recovery so you can be reunited with your wife & family. I know, thoughts & prayers.. but it’s all I got for now. Be well!

@Chum dog, Catholics are the ones. They may come from Christianity, but it's not Christianity.

*Catholicism Since this is actually the case. They weren't Christians.

And awomen and achildren too

This is true

@jaski, eh, somewhat not really, but I’m too lazy to actually do the work of deliberating.
-
@Child Slapper, no do it I want to hear

@Child Slapper, that’s arrogant but you do you
As a Christian/Pastor, making Christianity governmentally mandated in any form is literally one of the worst things you can do. Not only for the people of the country but for the perception and understanding of what a relationship with Christ actually is. The fact that we as Christians have continued to do this through history is baffling because not only has it consistently gone terribly, but scripture (and particularly Jesus) so clearly points a different direction from that approach that it’s really comical. And sad.
