@philokalia saidSo now you are a hate speech apologist.
The comment was more about how it's perfectly acceptable for Christians to have far left or far right beliefs as long as they don't actively support something that is unchristian like murder.
We can even be radical libertarians.
It's important to not limit what Christians can be.
@philokalia saidChristians can be homosexuals. Is it important not to limit that?
It's important to not limit what Christians can be.
@fmf saidOmar made anti-Semitic statements about Jews using their "Benjamins" to control the US government.
But they were chanting "Send her back!"
They weren't chanting "You despise your country!"
They weren't chanting "Don't despise your country!"
They weren't even chanting "They should migrate!"
Do the Christians amongst those who were chanting "Send her back!" want the president to send political opponents to other countries, do you think?
That shows disdain for the government and the people they elected. The culture from which she came has the same attitude about the Jews and the US, so telling her to go back if it is so great was the message, a message the race baiters refuse to acknowledge.
Her own party condemned what she said as anti-Semitic, yet only Trump gets all the hate from them cuz Omar should be defended at all costs, considering what her sex is, color is, and religion. It's all about identity politics in the DNC, and not about character.
@suzianne saidBut here you are going around condemning them?
Oh, he made his disclaimer early, but then also said, "even so", and went on to lambast Christians as a group.
I get it that he's a member of a group the Christians throughout history have condemned, so frankly I'm surprised he's shown any restraint.
I'm just trying to let him know, if you don't mind (and even if you do), that not all Christians are like those who co ...[text shortened]... ments of Jesus as mere suggestions.
If you don't like it, then go bark at yourself for a change.
LOL.
Tell us, what would Jesus say about abortion Suzy?
Game.............set.....................................match
@whodey saidWas it appropriate for any Christians to have been chanting "Send her back!" at that rally in North Carolina a couple of nights ago?
Omar made anti-Semitic statements about Jews using their "Benjamins" to control the US government.

@caesar-salad saidNope, I love in S. Korea and have been doing so for well over a decade. I have permanent residency and am a fluent Korean speaker. I'll probably get citizenship in another five or so years.
Philokalia lives in the USA, and not in South Korea?
@philokalia saidThat is very rare. South Korea is not known for its openness to foreigners.

If someone believes that black people are not loved by God and are inferior to white people, they can't actually be a Christian, either.
But if someone chants about sending a radical leftist who became a citizen back to her country because of the messed up things she believes in, I think they can be a Christian.
I also think someone can be a far left socialist or a Libertarian and be a Christian because I don't believe in closing the circle in on politics on who can be what and do what.
@philokalia saidI am not talking about Trump.
Can an unrepentant visitor of prostitutes be a Christian?
@philokalia saidWould it reflect Christian values to be chanting "Deport them! Deport them!" about Christians advocating, say, an end to institutional discrimination against homosexuals [a political idea that the chanters disapprove of]?
So, can an unrepentant homosexual be a Christian?
I don't really think so.
@philokalia saidAnd what if she was born in the U.S.?
But if someone chants about sending a radical leftist who became a citizen back to her country because of the messed up things she believes in, I think they can be a Christian.
@caissad4 saidHate speech doesn't exist.
So now you are a hate speech apologist.
Obviously, people can and do say disgusting things sometimes. But I believe everyone should be allowed to speak their mind, even if the content is disgusting.
That's actually very important to me so I resent the concept of hate speech.
It's just a tool for removing the freedom of people.
