God may very well punish those who go against him but Jesus repudiated the OT eye for eye talk. I don't think so. I could be wrong, but I don't recall any passages about Jesus talking about punishment here on earth. Everyone will get what's coming to them in the afterlife was his theme. Link to comment

Actually his “theme” was forgiveness. But yes, there are plenty of contradictory things said at different times. Link to comment

Well yeah…..because the extreme right wing Christians are anything but Christ like. I would not want to be one of them if/when there is a judgement day. Link to comment

Let's just say I use to go to the same church as Frotenberry when I lived at home. I was in ELCA. Probably one of the most liberal denominations in the USA. I got sick of praying for our politicians and having pastors tell me a “forgiven” Hitler is in heaven but a “non-accepting” Ghandi isn’t… That and I was asked to teach middle school Sunday School. After one week of trying to “teach” others what I professed to believe showed me in a hurry that I didn’t… Link to comment

I also agree that the coach, and all folks that pray in public spaces are asshats. 1 Link to comment
