Barronelle Stutzman: My case should concern everyone
By Barronelle Stutzman For The Spokesman-Review
"
Editor’s note: Barronelle Stutzman was sued by the state attorney general for refusing to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding. The Washington Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in her case on Tuesday.

What our state Supreme Court will decide is whether the government has the power to separate my creativity from my soul – by compelling me to create artistic expressions that celebrate something that goes against my conscience....."
 
The above shows that you don't read what I write.
Also, you say that you don't like any political party but it does appear to me that you dislike Republicans and President-elect Trump the most.

I've had enough of this hateful rhetoric.

Wondering
a. I read every single post.
b. I never said I didn't "like" any political party. I'm a liberal Democrat because I choose to be, and have never hidden the fact from anyone.
c. I dislike LIARS, on all sides of the aisle. I dislike Republicans and Democrats who lie, and have even voted for Republicans who I hoped would not lie.

Call it whatever you need to, my friend. I'm sorry you cannot see through Trump's sophistry. Yet. FWIW, I was hoping that some of his many, many promises would actually stick, like helping the veterans. It remains to be seen. No American candidate's feet have been held to the fire before an election on just how they should be required to prove their promises can actually be implemented. Maybe its time we built that fire?

Trump's Broken Campaign Promises:
1. Will be spending more time in his Trump Tower than.... in the historic White House where everything can be carefully monitored. Just as I predicted. We will still have to continue to pay all the bills with tax dollars to keep up an empty house.
2. Won't be prosecuting Hillary (but I suspect will make noise about her just before his upcoming FRAUD case, to take the heat off himself.) Any fresh out of college constitutional lawyer could have told him that.
3. Keeping much of Obamacare's framework.
4. Won't be building that wall of his, not even with his own money, private donations, border states or Mexico's combined.
5. Failed to create a "fantastic" team for his foreign policy before he's elected. Now most elected repub officials, both active and retired, are backing away from having anything to do with his cabinet post offers.
6. Assumes he now has special privileges that he vilified Hillary for, by demanding the Trump U. FRAUD case be moved to after the inauguration. He's too "busy".... Backpedaling? Yes.
7. No banning Muslims from entering/leaving, or living in this country.
8. After realizing that the manufacturing jobs which went overseas are now comfortably entrenched in other countries, his "best jobs president ever" moniker will have to be sidelined. They don't want to come back. Not even Oreo's.
9. His trade war is enormously more costly and internationally complicated than he thought. No more renegotiating NAFTA and TPP.
10. Renegotiating the Iran nuclear deal. Iran isn't budging, and he can't make them.
11. Leave SS and SSDI completely alone. He's now "open to changes to Social Security".
12. The previous details of his tax plan are now being overhauled because of gaping errors. He's planning to tell us "later" what they will be.
13. Bomb ISIS and take their oil. ISIS doesn't own any oil. The countries which ISIS controls "POCKETS OF" owns the oil. No invasion plans are pending.....
14. Defund Planned Parenthood. It's now in the hands of each state's rights.
15. Closing various mosques on suspicion of terrorism. Religious freedom prevents anyone from doing this.
16. Make the sale of marijuana a states right. Umm... It already was.
17. Target and kill relatives of terrorists. Against the law to murder American citizens who haven't committed a crime.
18. Restrict journalists from reporting negatively about him, and his policies and actions. Again, against the law.
19. Drop Bowe Bergdahl out of an airplane without a parachute into the middle of Afghanistan. Again, against the law to murder American citizens who haven't committed a crime.
20. Unable to "Drain the Swamp". Politicians are elected by the people for the people. In additon, many in Trump's proposed cabinet would also be sluiced out the gate.

That's beautiful 3-D artwork. I commend your taste.
 
It might come to a separation due to the fact that marriage has lost all meaning in the secular world.
Maybe for Christians there will be only marriage in church in the future - sanctified by God and no State documents at all.
Wow. What if they just go ahead and abolish marriage. The Jews marriages were basically abolished in the death camps.
 
Sigh...I had really hoped that after the election our angers for each other would end and we could spend more time on Christian matters. Not to be, I guess.
I think it further evidence supporting the OP subject matter itself.
It may be thought that persecution of the Christian only occurs in institutions like school, government employ, work place, etc...However, as we read, it can occur in instances of Christians who attack other Christians.
And that too demonstrates the parable truths Jesus delivered as well. It is all part of the education God puts forth for our benefit. At least that is how I see it.
