(54,437 posts)Specifically, if voting "Koranic Values" is reason enough to bomb people who espouse that point of view into the Stone Age, why should people who espouse "Biblical Values" deserve different treatment?

(16,296 posts)Probably 9 out of 10 people think of Biblical values in candy-cotton, unicorn shitting gold images: love, kindness, charity, do no harm, family gathered around the table, sweetness and light. The other 1 out of 10 take a more adult view of those "values" and see them as patriarchal, narrow minded, judgmental, and a selfish-self centered God which condones violence, murder and strict obedience .

(6,207 posts)The way you treat the "least among us" is pretty telling what your definition of biblical values is. Anyone who follows you and your values deserves the theocratic nightmare you would build.

(12,882 posts)Certainly, that's my first reaction. But this fruitcake ain't doin' Standup Comedy. This is truly scary shit. There are folks who are gonna VOTE for this loon if they get a chance. I'd go so far as to suggest that if ANYONE stood a chance of being the anti-Christ, he's in first place.

Only Christians will be allowed to enter, and current citizens who are non-Christian will be prosecuted by the government. Christians, especially those who "police" the state, will be allowed to persecute (or even kill) those believed to be non-Christians with impunity.
A database of non-Christians will be maintained by the government. This information will be available only to appropriate government authorities.
The Commander-in-Chief will direct our military to bomb into oblivion any region of the world that he believes to be primarily non-Christian, whether or not they have shown aggression toward NACES.
Churches, led by Radical Chri...I mean Christian Evangelicals, will urge their followers to live the Bible in all of its terrifying persecution of innocents. ("Samaria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open," Hosea 13:16.)
Planned Parenthood will be outlawed, and its supporters, as well as its doctors and patients, will be prosecuted. Any woman who tries to abort her fetus illegally, on the off chance that she survives the attempt, will be imprisoned until the baby is born. She will then be paroled, given no means of support for herself and her newborn child, no assistance with finding housing, medical care, or child care, only the threat that if her child is not cared for properly it will be taken from her and placed into an overused and massively under-funded foster care system.
Also illegal will be birth-control of any kind; though Viagra will still be covered by insurance plans. And speaking of insurance, as Obamacare will be repealed entirely, only the wealthy will have access to medical care.
Since there will no longer be any restrictions on gun-ownership, including open- and concealed-carry permits, the police forces across the country will need to be provided even more military-style equipment in order to keep the "peace".
And while this all sounds comically scary to me or you, I truly believe that Ted Cruz would look at it, and say, "Sounds Good. We'll do that."

I continue to believe Cruz is too unlikable and extreme enough to win a general election. He can certainly win the Republican primary.
