Don't understand why the republicans think they are the party of christianity when they do many unchristian like things. especialy the current President. Having Jeff Sessions and Steve Bannon in the cabinet is one example. 

They are not against Christianity unlike the other party.  Everybody is a sinner.  some recognize that and some don't.

How can one be so holy and be pro life but support the death penalty...

Im as prolife as it gets im against both.

One can be for death as a punishment for a heinous crime committed. The unborn child has not been found guilty of any such act but receives the same sentence. There is no inconsistency or hypocrisy in that line of thinking. One can fully support the death penalty as a punishment without supporting the death penalty for someone that has never committed a crime.

Its hypocritical to claim abortion is wrong under Christian values but support murder. the Bible is pretty clear on Thou Shall not kill. Vengeance is mine.

That's not what the Bible says...not the original text, anyway.

In the Hebrew, it's interpreted as "Thou shalt not take an innocent life".

Abortion is definitely taking an innocent life.  The death penalty for a horrendous crime is not...and it's not vengeance, it's justice.

Also, one can seek revenge without killing. Society's vengeance on criminals is usually jail time. Does this mean we should release all prisoners? Of course not. This is where the Bible gets misinterpreted. Sin does not equate with criminal acts.

I am almost apolitical, believe it or not.  I do vote though.  I don't think there is a human solution to this country's problems, much less the world's problems.  So when you ask me if I am democrat or republican...I don't know.  I don't see much good in either.  

I know a lot of christian democrats, scores.  If you travel and visit adventist churches in conservative areas, like the woodlands, there are more republicans.  Most of them are focused on church and bible prophecy and will tell you basically the same thing from the right side of the ledger.

Can't see anybody who supports the murder and mutilation of a breathing baby a Christian. Does that sound crazy to anyone else?

I'm very up with the Bible scripture debate is nothing new. All one can do is ask good for direction. From my understanding execution is not god will.

Were there not two men that were executed along side Jesus, the son of God?  If it were not his will, would this have taken place?  Don't believe your argument that this is against God's will is valid.

Think about that real hard.

Can you tell me exactly who advocates TOTALLY doing away with separation of church and state?

The current Prez, most evangelical leaders and pastors, the roman catholic church for sure, most right wing republicans and quite a few liberal democrats as well.

    • No doubt. It's definitely intriguing enough to watch how this all plays out...
    • We all know that each state has its own laws which can be very different, especially in endeavors like annexation or incorporation, so there is no telling what Louisiana law says. I don’t know but I doubt that there is a point of appeal for Baton Rouge to force St. George to be absorbed back into Baton Rouge by now giving them what they asked for years ago. “Oh, we lost? Well let’s just undo incorporation, ruled as legal by the Supreme Court (of LA)  by going back and giving them what they asked for”. There has to be a law allowing such an appeal. I think what I read about the lower court decisions which actually backed up Baton Rouge, they did not all rule that incorporation was illegal but that they did not think the city could have services up and running soon enough. So you have a court saying that sure you can split but only if we agree that you can provide services get enough. In Louisiana, who knows? I doubt that Texas has such a mechanism to allow a city to split, for example, could the west end of Beaumont say that they wish to make their own city against Beaumont’s objection? I doubt it. Certainly Beaumont could allow a city to be created as Port Arthur did with Bridge City and Taylor’s Landing. There is a huge difference in allowing and forcing which is what happened in Baton Rouge. Similar to the sometime discussed topic of Texas splitting off from the United States because they don’t like the way things are going, think if citizens in any city in the United States were allowed to create their own city, which could not be stopped by the parent city.  That could get interesting!! Don't like what is happening in the south side of Chicago? Just de-annex and create your own city!! Anyway, I thought that it is an interesting story when the capital city splits in half.   
    • Wasn't that 1st round loss last year? Also, during those previous 10 years I am pretty sure Jasper didn't go 2-58 in district play in the other 5 sports.
    • Ma'am, I don't think he said all Muslims were like that. If I'm reading this right, he's referencing the terrorist Muslims. You know, the ones who commit murder & have no regard for anyone who doesn't follow their jihadist beliefs...
    • Great playoff run, no doubt.  They did make the 3rd round(1 less) 4 of the previous 10 years, only one first round loss. 6 district championships and 4 second place.  The only 4 years Carthage was in the same district. So no, I'm not sure it does make sense.
