    I suppose it's the only "concept" which allows one to live with oneself - just shove the more important Christian values aside.

    WWJD? Most assuredly not that.

    Pardon me for doubting you, but I think you would applaud and support them.
    Yes they should, just as you exercise yours.
    Call it what you want. It's a threat to a Constitutionally guaranteed right.

    Can you point me to the part of the bible where it says "The church is supposed to direct the government?" Since that is just expressing her religion and not calling for a specific government led by a specific religion, it must be in there...

    And some think it's okay to support an immoral narcissistic sociopath because he reflects their values. Some values!!

    Nonsense.

    You did not show one person attempting to establish a religion for the United States. You just continued to blow the dog whistle.

    You think that women are chattel slaves of men and the state. Nothing but incubators. This kind of morality is horrid.

    Project 2025.

    Cheapening vics in order to claim victimhood.

    Slaves' entire lives from birth to burial were chattelized; a woman deprived of the unfettered right to exterminate another's entire existence, comprises a nine month period of time (add perhaps a month or 2 of recovery--combined = < 1 year).

    And the baby? Dead, forever. Forever and always, completely deprived of their entire existence.

    Vs. < 1 year.

    THAT kind of IMmorality, is exactly why we are who we are.

    But no one ever figured undoing 50 years of Roe (=life ain't worth shit) would be undone overnight.

    It's clumps of cells, not a baby.

    You approve of pregnant women dying in ERs because doctors are afraid to treat them. It's ok if old, white men say so, right?

    It is a new life. You were a new life at conception. Your development began as a zygote at conception inside your mother. You had your own DNA and unique set of chromosomes at that moment. From there you have developed to where you are today.

    You can call it whatever you want to call it. But you cannot deny your life and development began at conception separate from your mother and father for that matter.

    And spare us the mothers health argument. There is no law that does not protect the mother from making decisions we would wish on no one!

    Utter nonsense but you believe more in magic than science anyway.

    There are laws all over the country now threatening doctors with everything from taking their medical licenses to jail for performing any abortions.

    You don’t know what Jesus would do? I’m not surprised. He would cast Trump and his disciples into the wilderness.

    I don't think you understand what 'dog whistle' means. We are overtly saying that many Republicans want the US to be a Christian nationalist country, providing polls and direct quotes to back it up. We are not subtly suggesting it with coded language.

    Here's a definition. Hope it helps.

    dog whistle: a subtly aimed political message which is intended for, and can only be understood by, a particular group.

    Now you are lying. You can’t show one law that does not allow a doctor to preform an abortion if the mothers life is at risk.

    And if you are claiming your life did not begin at conception with your own DNA and chromosomes separate from your mother and father. I can’t help your inability to understand Science and Medicine.

    Everyone falls short of the cross. But again. I don’t think you really want to have a reasonable discussion. Because reality is every candidate and “their disciples” (as you put it) would be thrown into the wilderness.

    You and the left have your own political message that only you understand when it comes to “Christian Nationalism”. There is no threat of “Christian Nationalism” and you know it but use the term to smear and hopefully silence people.

    It's really time to stop feeding the reality denying troll like we had to eventually in the Covid thread. I may post the following a few times as the only rational response to his nonsense:
