Are Christians working to force society to obey gods laws?

Question

Not society laws. But what they believe the law should be. Like prayer in school, the right to pro-choice. Creation in the class room and the 10 comandments on every courthouse step.

We are not forcing christian to obey seculars laws. They have the very same freedoms that we do.

My experience has been that not all christians do what is right. A large amount in fact.

I never assume. I've seen the answers and questions here.

Ok, What Christians think are gods, law.

Society had laws before the 10 commandments.

Answer 1

Not all christians are like that. Christianity (and most relogions) has different kinds of people in it, some are very tolerant towards other points of view, and some others aren't.
The problem is that historically, in many societies power has had a very strong relationship with political power (which is a tradition that we inherited from ancient times), which has allowed God's laws to get involved with everybody's laws.
I think it's important for Christians to understand that one can't force other people to follow the same beliefs they have, specially in a society that is constantly becoming more open to alternative lifestyles. I have found that many christians believe that criminals hurt people because they don't believe in God, and that the only solution to all society's problems is that everyone start going to church. But that's a dangerous way to think, because when you're so convinced that you're right, then you start taking measures to make sure that everyone that doesn't share the same moral values you have gets kicked out of society, which is something that still happens a lot in some conservative states, for example. Most wars have been fought for that reason.

Answer 2

Radical elements within Christianity are trying to establish a theocracy to fit their version of the bible. These people are antidemocracy and they're as dangerous as any other fascist group.

The real danger lies in the fact that regular Christians don't oppose them actively because they don't understand what is happening, or the seriousness of the situation. All that evil needs to succeed is for good people to do nothing. Anyone who respects American democratic principles should be doing everything they can to make sure that "good Christian" doesn't become synonymous with "good German."

No, I am not exaggerating, I think we're really at that point.

Answer 3

by way of fact he's the daddy of reality, Jehovah God hates a mendacity tongue or a pretend witness that speaks lies. Proverbs 6:sixteen-19 says: “There are six issues which Jehovah hateth; yea, seven that are an abomination unto him: haughty eyes, a mendacity tongue, and palms that shed harmless blood; a heart that deviseth depraved purposes, ft that are fast in working to mischief, a pretend witness that uttereth lies, and he that soweth discord between brethren.” adult males might lie, besides the undeniable fact that it fairly is not any longer by way of fact Jehovah God needs them to. God isn't a liar. He expects adult males to tell the reality, too.

Answer 4

"Prayer in school" is not one of God's laws. Neither is Creationism being taught in public schools. Neither is the 10 commandments on courthouse steps. God's law concerns personal uprightness, resisting sin and wickedness, and seeking purity, honesty and tranquility.

Answer 5

Rove's campaign strategy was to have GW wear Jesus as a beauty queen's sash in order to pander to Christians, especially the single issue "value voters" Fundy Evangelical variety. GW promised them prayer in public school, the reversal of Roe V Wade, a hyper Conservative Supreme Court, a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, taxpayer's money for their "faith based initiatives" and "the return of integrity to the Whitehouse". so the easily duped visitors to The Creation Museum voted in the most smirkingly arrogant and unrepentantly corrupt presnit this country has ever seen ... TWICE.
and you can see how well that worked out.

thanks a friggin lot Fundies!

Answer 6

Just the opposite. This society is working hard to force Christians to obey THEIR new found immoral laws. This nation was built on God's laws. 52 of the 55 members who formed the Constitution were active members of their church. Ever since then, (especially in the 60's) this society has worked overtime to overturn everything this country was built on. (Roe vs. Wade for example) This is a Christian hating nation.

Answer 7

I don't care. If they need to turn people to their way of thinking so that they can feel comfort in numbers, let them. In the end they will find the truth and then it won't matter to them or me.

Answer 8

Yes. Atheists aren't allowed to run for politcal office in some states. I think that is a telling sign that they want Christians making their laws for other Christians.

Answer 9

Hopefully, because in the end, those are the only laws that matter.

But humans have freewill, so there will always be some that stray from God. But our God is a forgiving God!

Answer 10

Definitely, you should see the hate mail that I get from christians back home who all claim they are going to revoke my and other atheist's rights or something of that nature whenever their candidate gets elected.
