Arizona Republican Lawmaker: Church Attendance Should Be Mandatory

From the piece...

“I believe what’s happening to our country is that there’s a moral erosion of the soul of America,” Allen said.

Allen said more people may feel the need to carry weapons if a “moral rebirth” doesn’t occur in America.

“It’s the soul that is corrupt. How we get back to a moral rebirth I don’t know. Since we are slowly eroding religion at every opportunity that we have.

Probably we should be debating a bill requiring every American to attend a church of their choice on Sunday to see if we can get back to having a moral rebirth,” she told the committee, as reported by KPHO.

If church were changed to mosque, he'd think himself persecuted and victimized.

What he's saying is that he wants more hypocrites----people who come to church on Sunday but who do so only out of a sense of obligation or duy than out of a genuine desire to attend; people who want to look righteous outwardly while nothing changes within themselves.
 
What does going to church have to do with morality?

??

:confused:

Seriously..

Some of the most notably immoral folks are avid church goers,, and often Church Leaders.

Be wary of forced worship.

Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
 
This is a hit piece, and he is a she.

“But since that would not be allowed and we would not even be debating that, I’m going to vote yes that people who are responsible who have a CCW permit don’t have to worry about their guns as they’re out and about and doing business in whatever building they’re in except ones that where they aren’t allowed,” Allen went on to say.

I don't think she was seriously suggesting mandatory church attendance. We have mandatory stuff all over the place and people are freaking out about a offhand comment. :rolleyes:

The only forced worship likely to happen in this country is worship of the State.

The idiot lawmaker in question is Arizona State Sen. Sylvia Allen.

She is a Republican from Snowflake, AZ. He comments were in response to a gun bill and concealed weapons permits that were being discussed.

Sylvia Allen said:

Obviously manadotory church is stupid. The lady was expressing her desire for our country to get moral, while knowing that the idea wasn't possible.

I find it odd that there are people like her and many others that feel morality comes from a fear of God.

I am pro-morals.
I am anti-force.

You are only focusing on the part that you like. Sorry but this is concerning.

Those who have actually studied Revelation understand that eventually forced worship is coming to this country and indeed to the world. And forcing matters of conscience is indeed worse than other "mandatory stuff." This is the definition of "thought crime" which is the last brick in the wall of tyranny. Imagine such an "offhand comment" being made by a Muslim about Friday prayers being mandatory. If Rand Paul ever made this kind of "offhand comment" I would actively campaign against him.

Edit: And unless you think Sylvia is a boy's name, you are wrong in your assertion that "she is a he." Or were you thrown off by the last name "Allen."

You really believe forced worship is coming to this country? I'm sorry, I just don't see it.

And YOU are only focusing on the part you DON'T like. There is no proposal of a law in this quote. She is using a hypothetical to make a point, which is finished in the next paragraph. This is an anti gun hit piece that takes her comments out of context.
Not saying she's not a nut, but she is NOT proposing any actual legislation here.

Imagine if that same Muslim backed up his proposal with the craziest part of his religious text, like you just did in referencing revelation. People would laugh, just like I just did at your post.

The poster you're replying to was correcting earlier posts that referred to the senator as a male (see post #5). You put what he said in quotes, but still got it backwards. He said "he is a she".

I didn't say she was. Why the hell should I wait for actual proposed legislation before being concerned? As I recall you're pro gay rights. If she said "Maybe we need a law where we can execute people for open homosexual acts" would you say "Oh it's no big deal. There's no actual proposed legislation." Every piece of legislation good or bad started off as some "hypothetical" remark.

Imagine if that same Muslim backed up his proposal with the craziest part of his religious text, like you just did in referencing revelation. People would laugh, just like I just did at your post.

Then those people would be stupid just like you are. Let's put your stupidity in context. Let's say one Muslim legislator made an offhand "hypothetical" remark that all professed Christians should be beheaded. Then another Muslim poster made a post from the Koran explaining that Christians should be tolerated inside Islamic states. You would defend the first Muslim and attack the second? If so then you are indeed an idiot.

Ten years ago I didn't see how the government could prevent someone from engaging in commerce. Then the U.S. government shut down all of Julian Assange's electronic financial accounts. I find it odd that someone can be part of a movement that predicts that if nothing changes we will eventually have a total economic collapse and a complete loss of liberty and then turn around and believe that there will be limits to the loss of that liberty.
 
Looking at Matthew 18:20 I suspect they would have a rough time enforcing such a law.
