I think you misunderstand that message. With or without God or religion, all people have the ability to change and better themselves and find redemption.
More to the point, Christ's message to Nicodemus was that everyone could be saved, even if they were born a gentile.

Well rape and murder till you can be "forgiven" Cool religion you have there. The god also wants you to have a gun so you should get one or 10.

It doesn’t need to, it’s a right I’m endowed to by my creator.
Ok. Skipping all the shouting I wouldn't mind an explanation of this.
I'm assuming (and please explain if I'm wrong) that the creator you're referring to is the Christian God? I've never seen a reference to owning offensive weapons in the bible (although I'll freely admit to not having read much of it so point the relevant bits out).

We may form a well regulated militia to preserve and protect our constitutional rights from tyrants that would try to take away those rights.

You are the tyrant you stupid, stupid little man.

guns kill 40k americans a year.

Many of them are Democratic voters from the city killing other Democratic voters from the city. Sounds like your problem not mine.

The vast majority of that number is suicides. For comparison, self harm and innocent victims combined equates to some 480k people a year dead due to tobacco. And no leftie gives a shit.

Maybe your god can grant you serenity and wisdom to not be afraid of the scary gun monsters under your bed.
Given the incidence of gun violence, is that really an unreasonable concern? I know that the resident dipshit is likely to distract to something like 2nd hand smoke, but that risk has been mitigated by bans against smoking in most public places in most states. NRA members and other gun extremists OTOH are actively fighting to allow gun carry in all public places, even though there is no evidence that this reduces gun violence, and even over the objections of property owners who don't want patrons carrying in their establishments.
How then are these 'good guy' gun owners allowing those who choose not to carry guns to mitigate the risks of gun violence except by being dependent on those who do carry?
I have found that it is helpful to try to see both sides of any argument. The pro-2a argument is that law-abiding citizens should not lose their God-given rights as a citizen. I agree with this. But unfortunately, many of these pro-2a extremists also seem to expect this particular right to allow them to subjugate every non-gun owner into the status of 2nd-class citizens, entirely dependent and at the mercy of every gun owning 'patriot' for their safety. But of course, you just ignore that.

No thank you, I am not a homosexual (not that there is anything wrong with that if you are). I don't want it.

So the first thing you thought of when talking about meeting face to face was something sexual. Sounds like someone has something they are hiding. Do you keep your gun in the closet with you?

Interesting.

Sounds like we might need to make it your problem then. Or you can stop being a pompous dickhead. Your choice.

Well, you didn't expand on it and I'm sure a tolerant liberal like yourself wouldn't be hinting at violence.

But you're better than him because you're an intolerant conservative who has repeatedly threatened violence in this thread, right?

I have not threatened violence. In fact I'd like to see Beto take back his comments and he is trying to incite violence.

I had assumed you've been around long enough to know how silly and stupid pulling the internet tough guy card looks. But, I guess not. Carry on, tough guy.
WTF.. does a single day ever go by where you don't pull the internet tough guy card here?

How in the holy fuck did your head get so far up your ass? Seriously.

Uh... he threatened me with violence. I don't know that I've mentioned "internet tough guy" here much before if at all. I know it is Friday and all, but you might have started partying a little too early. You're saying nonsensical things here.
