You asked, "what is God advocating?" That's not rhetorical, that's hocker on a doorknob syndrome.

Who really cares how you define stuff? But therein lies the ridiculousness, because you've yet to adequately define either term, nor can you give a credible source. Why? Because they are terms NOT contained anywhere in any founding document, LOL. Added to that is the fact that to you everything is relative, all truth is subjective, (that's why it's nearly impossible for you to concede a debate point) and why you continually morph into newly made up defenses when you are inevitably bested. But worse, as was the case above yet again, you throw misinterpretations of scriptures around like it's okay to do it.

And what was that metaphor of your favor again? The loosing fighter raises gloves in mock victory? Go for it Geraldo.

No, TRT, you are the legend in your own mind. I've never seen a "loosing" fighter though. Is that like when a boxer is tied up, so they send in a "loosing" fighter?

Nah, God sends sun and rain on the righteous and unrighteous, the just and unjust. Essential liberty and freedom of conscience are clear enough concepts, and have been valued by free people for centuries.

I'm utterly unconcerned about being "bested" and such, and will leave such foolishness for twelve year old boys on playgrounds. However, I do hope our nation continues to value essential liberty and freedom of conscience for all citizens.
