Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

But will they come when you do call for them? Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1, Act III:
go with the flow the river knows . . .

Originally posted by Sparko View PostI think I would pick the muslim one. Christians do much better under persecution. The liberals, while they do persecute Christians, tend more toward converting them and undermining them to their values. Look at what has happened to the Presbyterians (PCUSA). Completely useless now.

Originally posted by JimL View PostSince the U.S. is majority liberal, I think the majority answer would be "if it were liberal." If you are asking this of christians specifically, they would probably rather live in a liberal secular society where they are free to practice their religion. If it were a Muslim theocracy, the idiots would probably be in constant bloody war with each other over whose god is the only true god.Last edited by shunyadragon; 02-10-2017, 06:41 AM.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

Originally posted by JimL View PostThe point I think is that only in a secular liberal society are people from differing religions and beliefs able to live together in peace. Its a rather silly question really. If Christians would rather live in a muslim dominated theocratic state, then they are saying that they would rather become Muslims than live as Christians in a secular liberal state.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

So JimL based on that would you rather live in an authoritarian leftist secular state that forces people to go against their core values only because the leftists disagree with said core values.
Or the Christian based state that respects the right of all human beings to choose their core values. I.E people still able to have their ceremony celebrating a certain act(they believe is right) even if a cake baker does not bake the cake for that ceremony because it is in celebration of something that goes against her core value.
no fudging JimL it is one or the other.the first one, the authoritarian If you don't have the correct core value your rights can be trampled on, or the second one democratic state that says I don't agree with you but respect your right to hold that core value and base your life practices on it as long as it does not trample on my right to life and liberty.
