More Sharia




    … You think about those that marry the Roman Catholic, and they think, you know, “Oh well! Close enough!” Wrong! Catholics aren’t Christians. Okay? Catholics do not believe in salvation by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. They follow a Pagan-type religion of idolatry and necromancy and they do not believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ…

    … the first baby is born and the Catholic in-laws want to baptize their baby! You’re like, “Whoa! I don’t want to do this!” Well, sorry! We’re gonna baptize your baby… you need to be wise and understand that you’re not gonna have communion and you’re not gonna have fellowship with an unbeliever in marriage, and it’s not gonna work out well at all…
Christian Pastor Steven Anderson
This guy doesn't seem to have much use for Jews or Catholics. That's not really new among Christians; 
“Jews and papists are ungodly wretches; they are two stockings made of one piece of cloth”~~Martin Luther  (1483-1546)

A good Godly, Bible thumping country. Run by men (Women not allowed) such as these.

Some sort of Christian Sharia. Call it, Evangelical Mosaic law.

To Be Conservative

"There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God’s name on one’s behalf should be used sparingly… The religious factors that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both… I’m frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in “A,” “B,” “C” and “D.” Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of conservatism."

'I Believe in an America Where the Separation of Church and State is Absolute

September 12, 1960, address to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association

BY: John F. Kennedy

While the so-called religious issue is necessarily and properly the chief topic here tonight, I want to emphasize from the outset that we have far more critical issues to face in the 1960 election; the spread of Communist influence, until it now festers 90 miles off the coast of Florida--the humiliating treatment of our President and Vice President by those who no longer respect our power--the hungry children I saw in West Virginia, the old people who cannot pay their doctor bills, the families forced to give up their farms--an America with too many slums, with too few schools, and too late to the moon and outer space.

These are the real issues which should decide this campaign. And they are not religious issues--for war and hunger and ignorance and despair know no religious barriers.

But because I am a Catholic, and no Catholic has ever been elected President, the real issues in this campaign have been obscured--perhaps deliberately, in some quarters less responsible than this. So it is apparently necessary for me to state once again--not what kind of church I believe in, for that should be important only to me--but what kind of America I believe in.

I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute--where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote--where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference--and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.
