Joseph Preston, a former(?) KKK leader was arrested for discharging a firearm during the Charlottsville alt-right riot.

Yeah, peaceful KKK, white supremacist, and retarded alt-right kookaboos.

Maybe the Trumpanzee will pardon Preston, too.

One in one thousand acts of violence is committed by the right.


Before you ask for proof, think it over.

In this nation the left is making every effort to destroy religion because religion views homosexuality as being against God's laws of nature.

Religion, a belief in God a belief in something greater than ourselves propels people to perform selfless acts for the benefit of our society. conversely secularism connotes a preoccupation with one's self, a belief in nothing. secularism is soulless

With religious people homosexuality simply means hate the sin love the sinner

HE is he alpha and omega.

Personal Best Regards:

Jesus never said a word against homosexuals, anywhere, any time. He never married and he hung out with 12 other guys all the time. (And one of them was the one he "loved the most".) Also try to remember he was a dark skinned man from the Middle East.

Egyptians had a culture four thousand years before Christ was born. Take a history class.

Of course the black churches never paid attention to the laws.

Religion and politics can't "legally mix" unless it goes back to the Supreme Court, which has already ruled on it. Everson vs. Board, Supreme Court decision said there is a wall of separation between church and state, called for in the First Amendment and using contemporaneous documents from the Founding Fathers regarding their views. Take a civics class.

Egyptians aren't black...they're not negroid. They're Mediterranean...like Italians, Greeks, Spanish. There may be lots of blacks in Egypt and N Africa now...but the originals were NOT negro.

And I'm talking WAY before the Egyptians...40,000 some say 70,000 years ago, Neanderthals were drawing those beautiful animals.

You are correct, mummy DNA has proved that .

I assume that you are not a Christian. I say that because Christians believe that Jesus IS GOD. GOD's word in the Bible DOES mention gays several times. If you do not believe me, try reading it. It's an interesting read. I am only correcting you, not attempting to get into an argument about gays. I'm not interested in the subject.

"But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted." I Timothy 1:8-11

"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.' --- I Corinthians 6:9-10

But, the Corinthians verse is modified by Paul's observation in verse 11. "Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

(All verses from the New American Standard Bible, identified by theologian Paul Enns as the most correct literal translation of the Greek Bible, while still being very readable.)

While it is true that Catholics have not traditionally been encouraged to read the Bible and understand it for themselves, nonetheless they are not forbidden to read the Bible.

Here is that same Romans 1:26-27, in the Catholic translation.

Romans 1:26-27 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)

"For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error."

You are correct. Not forbidden but not encouraged. Not a wise policy given that bible interpretation is, well open to interpretation.
