Persecution of Christianity is becoming overt instead of covert.

I don't mind background checks. Especially for concealable weapons. I don't see any issues saying for public safety you can keep your 2nd Ammendment, but we gonna vet you first. If you prefer to purchase more expediently, get your CC or OC, or both. THe buying process is more fluid then. However, my experience w/o permits still has been just a short wait at the store while the background goes thru. If there are no issues the purchase is usually completed in less than an hour. No biggie. I have no issue with a ntional vetted buyer database, just not the tracking of their purchases. Or the ability to hack it and go deep state on someone.

If you want to pre vet people, then require permits for purchase, so a person has a thorough background check on file. You're still not prohibiting 2A. Regardless of how it's done:

1. Someone will alwys slip thru the system.
2. Can't account for someone that goes nuts after the vetting proocess.
3. Still doesn't curb illegal gunowners that will never, ever go by the law in the first place, and make up the majoity of firearm crime stats.

Wow. I hope to never see you post anything about supporting liberty.

Are you saying I'm wrong about MAGA? If so, you might be the dumbass. Either way, I'm sorry that criticizing MAGA offends you to such an extent that you need to resort to petulant name-calling.

So now you're pushing your nonsense. It's funny how that happens.
Those in power tend to push their beliefs on the masses. It happens in places dominated by a religion and, get this, it happens in places controlled by atheists. How many thousand churches, mosques, and temples did the Soviets destroy? Look at PRC and their 'worship Xi and the CCP above all or we'll put you and all your family in the gulag' program.
You live in a country with among the very best guarantees of freedom of religion and freedom from religion, which we need to vigilantly uphold. Your complaint about Cristian tyranny in this context is misplaced.

This is a long way of saying “yes, Christians push their beliefs on others but everyone in power does that,” which does not at all suggest that the complaint is “misplaced” - you agreed with it.

I wonder the reaction if a pilot was to say a prayer over the PA system after they introduce themselves the passengers.

The pilot can certainly pray to himself without issues. Much like students in public schools can privately pray without issues.

You should read the post to which I replied. There's no 'yes, but' in my post.

I'd probably just be listening to death metal through my earbuds in my learned age. However...

There was a guy on the Colorado light rail several years back who waited until the doors closed to start preaching the gospel very loudly at around midnight.

Drunk Dink did the right thing... I just started singing Total Eclipse of the Heart louder than he could ramble and before you knew it, what seemed like the whole car joined in.

I love this country.

Why would you need to do that over the PA system? No one is “censoring” a pilot from praying to themselves

I didn't ponder if he/she needed to publicly or could do it privately.
I pondered what the reaction would be if he/she did it over the PA.

I don't waste my limited RAM ever thinking about "whataboutisms". I do know what exists in reality. Too many false narratives are derived from "whataboutisms" and projections. I try to focus on the future when I'm not here, mostly because my standard of living hasn't changed one damn bit in the last 10-12 years. And make no mistake, I'm not wealthy

Yes, and that has nothing to do with “censorship” which you posted in response to.

“I’m being censored because I can’t force a plane full of people to listen to me pray over the loudspeaker” is right in line with the other Christian “persecution” in this country, i.e. nonexistent.

The thread has many branches and limbs off its main trunk of censorship. I think we can all agree there are many side convos happening.
I replied to Bernard whose post was about censoring. But I replied with my hypothetical about a pilot because he replied to SCV. SCV is a pilot. There is no way way you would have known the motivation for my reply though.

I appreciate your replies. It gives clarity of what the reaction would be should a pilot pray publicly for the flight.

Would you like to offer what you think the reaction would be?

“When were you censored” is a pretty direct question to quote and then respond with a non-sequitur, but I’m glad we agree that your hypothetical is not censorship.

The response would be a collective eyeroll because most of the plane isn’t trying to listen to someone else praying through a loudspeaker.

Same reaction if he said anything else people weren’t trying to listen to, so not sure what the point of this is
