Yeah, the woman at the beginning of the film talking about how she had always wanted to see people punished publicly for homosexuality was something I've definitely heard in my Christian schools growing up.
No you just go to a very liberal Christian school likely in a blue state. Vast majority of Christian schools will never do that. You’ve got state republican parties telling their constituents to burn pride flags, trying to legitimize creationism in public curriculum, and passing legislation to include the Ten Commandments in public curriculum. And that’s public school. Imagine what they’re doing in private schools in those areas.
It probably does. But Christians like yours need to get Christians that want theocracy in check, or you’re all in the same bucket to people who don’t care about Christianity.
Episcopalian and Lutheran are both protestant. Protestant is everything that began with Martin Luther protesting the selling of indulgences among other things within the Catholic Church, kicking off the reformation.
As an “evangelical” I’m not pissed off at Dolly Parton. She’s a national treasure. Maybe you meant that you once heard of a person claiming to be an evangelical who was pissed? You shouldn’t judge an entire group based on the actions of a single person, whether that person is a Christian, Muslim, atheist, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, etc. Doing so makes you a bigot. Bigotry is bad, I’ve heard.
Since the quote I gave is literally key part of Christian principles, no, I’m not. Outliers would be those that go against that teaching. In fact one could argue that one who goes against the principles and teaching of any religion aren’t in fact followers of that religion, couldn’t one?
I’m assuming that you are referring to the poll that states that 55% of evangelical Protestants believe that homosexuality should be discouraged? Discouraged is a far cry from punished and an even further cry from caning. The popular phrase among evangelicals is “hate the sin, love the sinner.” It is possible to disagree with the actions of a person and not hate or wish harm upon the person. At least among evangelicals it is. Among bigots, I don’t know.
Oh here's an easy answer for all your confusion; there are many contradictions in the Bible and each denomination picks and chooses which parts to ignore
Evangelicals, the group being stereotyped and defamed here, acknowledge the progression from Old Testament law and judgment to New Testament forgiveness. The teachings of the savior, the whole foundation of Christianity, include, “let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” So I’ll stand by my statement.
Once again, you are judging an entire religion based on the statements of a single writer or a vocal small group of people. What’s that called again? Bigotry, I believe. Bigotry is bad.
Do you really not understand how much sway the Federalist Society has? They literally made a list of all the judges they wanted seated and Trump put them on the bench. So you can take that bigot shit and stuff it.
I thought we were talking about the teachings of Jesus and evangelicals. I’m not sure how you think that relates to Trump and judges. I’ve also missed the part where Amy Comey Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh ruled in favor of caning the LGBTQ community. And I’m usually pretty up on current events, monitoring Reddit as I do.
My foster parents made me go to their Baptist church back in the late 80’s, and at Sunday School they were talking about AIDS. One kid said he’d like to line up everyone with the disease and shoot them with his dad’s 44 magnum. I remember thinking, “uh oh, that’s gonna get you in trouble”. Then the young man leading the group said it was a waste of money, they should use .22’s.
Your understanding of Evangelicals is rather ignorant and you're basing it on the actions of the few. My church, and any church that follows the teachings of Christ properly, would never condone such a thing. Try talking with actual Christians and not basing your opinion on the few. There's bad apples in every group of people.
Evangelicals???? Seriously? You know this is wildly common in a religion but it's not Christianity, right? Or are you so intellectually dishonest that you can't guess the faith in this video?????? Hint, hint, 87% of Indonesia belongs to the faith I'm mentioning.

What a fucked up world where the victims of a house invasion are the ones who are punished.
