It's never stopped trump supporters from screaming "Lockher up" after 27 gazilitrillion congressional investigations and found nothing criminal. I've never screamed "Lock her up!" but I share the supporters' not giving a damn about what the AG's declining to prosecute says about her guilt--at least when it comes to emailgate. She gets the benefit of the doubt on Benghazi. At least there the facts are in dispute, not laid bare on the table, and she deserves the presumption of innocence. I hope for her sake she's indeed guiltless in that matter, because the truth isn't hidden from the One who's going to judge her.
As the 'One' who will judge donald trump. Won't it be grand to see him roast in hell.

As the 'One' who will judge donald trump. Won't it be grand to see him roast in hell. A Christian condemns no man to Hell, not even his enemies. He usurps the authority of Christ in making such judgments, which is a serious offense in and of itself. A Christian calls good "good", calls evil "evil", and prays for the good of all men, including men who commit great wickedness. This includes Pres. Trump. God, for His part, can enlighten, heal, and forgive, or chasten, condemn, and destroy anyone or anything He pleases. Including Pres. Trump. Personally I'm glad it's up to Him and not me. Sorry for getting all religious on you, but you really oughtn't make statements like "Won't it be grand to see him roast in hell." lightly, even in jest.

Well, that never stopped any good Christians from telling me I'm going to burn in hell as soon as they find out I'm an atheist.

Virgil moved the religious parts from a different thread to the Religious Board. I think this orginated in the "Lockherup" on politics.
Eta, I assumed Virgil moved it but don't actually know which mod did.

Thanks for clearing that up. I don't usually get into the politics and religious crap but for some reason clicked on that link. Guess it is just a guessing game when the higher ups do stuff like this

I was going to say I didn't remember starting a thread with a title of Condemnation let alone posting on one.

I was going to say I didn't remember starting a thread with a title of Condemnation let alone posting on one. Sorry. Religious discussions (and I use the term "discussion" lightly, since it comprises all of two posts) tend to get moved if somebody complains. Somebody complained about this discussion, so it was moved. Nobody complained about the religious discussion in the "No Yoga" thread, hence it stayed. A lot of moderating is about keeping the peace.

No apology needed.

FWIW, none of the religious discussion was preachy.

Moved a few more posts here from the original thread. Not sure what the Weltz/milee discussion about eating monkeys is about, but I'll leave that there. - Virgil (Mod who also doesn't eat monkeys)

I moved the first two posts out in response to a complaint. As Virgil said, sometimes posts are moved to avoid a thread being hijacked onto a completely different (and, often, highly confrontational) subject. I also have a horrible head cold so coming up with the right thread title just wasn't going to happen!

Condemnation is only for Christians, I'm not Christian one damn bit. Don't bug me over this, I don't want anyone's hangups about Religion or Christian.
I like myself as I am, my Spirits help me all the time, they are good Spirits. Do not bother me over this at all, I do not need your crap in my life.
By the way I'll be going to report any posts that damn mine, here.

Well, that never stopped any good Christians from telling me I'm going to burn in hell as soon as they find out I'm an atheist. But that's what Christians believe. While I get some of us totally come off as judgey when we say something like that, it's what we believe. If a person doesn't accept Christ, that person will not have eternal life after the death of the body.
And the thing is, if Trump, or anyone--thank goodness--accepts Christ, it doesn't matter what that person did. That person gets to spend eternity with God.
I completely understand that you don't agree with that concept. For those of us who do, we don't want anyone to miss out on Heaven, and many Christians will use the fire and brimstone threats to cajole others to Christ.

Isn't this the board in which to discuss those beliefs and not be reported for it?

I was going to say I didn't remember starting a thread with a title of Condemnation let alone posting on one. Here's to starting threads without remembering it. On the old MSN boards, there was one poor woman where during the evening you could see by her typing she was getting more and more inebriated by the minute. Bless that poor woman's heart. And I use the northern version of 'Bless her heart" ( )for her and not the southern version of same ( ).

They're not going to get anywhere by using threats. How effective will threats be if you don't believe that Spiderman is real? "Believe in Spiderman OR ELSE!!"
