When the goverment, yes the goverment, starts tryna make people,especially christians, take the mark to to prove loyalty to either God or goverment. I mean ya'll know aint nobody shovin nothing down your throat; you just choose to percieve it that way becuase ya'll are convicted in ya'll hearts about it evan without christians having to tell you.
So are ya'll gonna stand up for christians when the goverment tries to make us pledge allegiance to them when they know were for God(Jesus Christ). Or will ya'll just sit back and let them do it or try to help them shove it down our throats?

And when did the Gov't start doing this? And what do you have the proves this will happen, besides vague verses from your Bible? I can make those same verses look like England is the one that's going to do it. And odd, aren't you perceiving it This way as well?????? And if I were truly convicted in my heart as you say, would I be pointing these things out? Please don't be so arrogant as to think you Know what is in my Heart or my Mind. You would not want to be treated that way... and it is that very type of attitude that gets other people screaming "they're shoving it down our throats"... You do not have ESP... God is not Gossipping about other people with you, telling you what is in their hearts.
I stand up for your right to believe as you wish.... I do so for Everyone. As for "standing up" for someone... I won't stand up for hypocritical, arrogant know-it-alls who seem to think because they are a Christian that must mean everyone MUST listen to them and MUST stand up for them.
Now, outside of the Bible, where is your proof? Otherwise, this is all how YOU perceive it and nothing more.

Wow, lots of anger issues there or what? I am not a Christian but your question was intriguing.
No, I would never do that! Why would I make someone do something they didn't want to do! However if you read the Bible you will see that it will not only be non-believers who will be doing this! It will be from believers as well, those of which who are afraid. Instead of pointing fingers and screaming at us why don't you try giving reasons and better means of illuminating this problem before it gets here?

First, I don't really understand what you are saying....but last time I checked...our extremely right-wing, conservative President is doing what YOU want. He's shoving Christian beliefs and morals down the throats of non-believers such as myself. Look at all the laws that he is trying to pass! Completely religious reasoning, despite the fact that the founders of this country that allow you to type such nonsense on a website also said SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE...something I don't believe Republicans today really understand or choose not to look at.
So really, shouldn't the non-believers be asking the question, are we going to stand up for our rights, or just let the hypocritcal government try to force us to believe in God and the church!?

maximum religions have as portion of that believer's job is to transform others. this is how the religion grows or a minimum of keeps to exist. the element that individuals do no longer understand is that in case you do it incorrectly, you may turn somebody off of it besides. i think of all of us is attempting, they simply are not going approximately it the perfect way. As a human in case you somewhat have self assurance in something you oftentimes want others to have self assurance besides, while you're unlike that (like me) great. the rationalization it is so significant is using the fact it may qualify or disqualify their existence according to despite if their ideals have been easily perfect, no longer asserting despite if or no longer they're or are not. Your existence could replace from you living so which you may you living for God. this is fairly massive for some human beings.

Ummm... why not have your temporal allegience to the Constituition and your spiritual allegience to your "God"? Does your religion prevent you from living within the confines of civilized society organized under a Constitution?

I wouldn't move a finger to show allegiance either to your government, nor to mine, nor to God.

Do what you want. If you don't like what's happening in the US... move.
But you'll get laughed at in any other country for your fundamentalist beliefs.
