DOMA Unconstitutional
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "An
older poster that doesn't participate here
any more said something that quite wise. He
said "anybody that thinks God got nicer in
the 'New Testament' hasn't read The
Revelation". He will punish those outside
Christ for their works. Thank God!"
Thank God we win (Eph
4:3, 2 Co 6:15-16, Mt 10:34, Re 22:20).

Response to comment [from other]: "The founding fathers founded the country on good, solid, social and political theory, with religion specifically excluded from the process. Perhaps you could quote back the part of the constitution that describes this Christian country you refer to?"

Response to comment [from a Satanist]:
"Even if we'd been founded as an
explicitly Christian nation...well, what of
it? What does one mean by "Christian
nation," anyway? A nation by and for
Christians only? Christians preferred?
Non-Christians need not apply?

"We believe God gave unique commands to the body of Christ.
We believe Israel is not part of the body of Christ.
We believe all the world is under the law but that believers are only under grace.
We believe that God commands us to judge.
We believe that Christians will judge the world on judgment day.
We believe that God expects us to firmly rebuke those that sin.
We believe you should only forgive those who repent.
We believe that God is alive, that he's not stagnent, but that God can change.
We believe that there is time in heaven and sequences of thoughts and events.
We say that God cannot do the irrational and he cannot know the unknowable.
We deny that every crime and every perversion is part of God's perfect plan.
We do not focus on understanding evil; Rather, we war against it.
We decry wickedness in our public institutions and do not excuse it.
We proclaim that public schools are the enemy.
We declare that God instituted family, church and government.
We believe that God has an opinion on what our laws should proclaim.
We believe that we should seek God's opinion on government above that of men.
We believe that the Bible is a criminal justice textbook.
We seek to recriminalize: abortion, homosexuality, adultery and pornography.
We see that the death penalty is at the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ...
...We are open, dispensational theonomists with an attitude." ~ Bob Enyart
