    No, that's not what I told him.

    But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man

        What's with you and trying to get people to "denounce" things?

          It's an anti-Christian requirement. "Do you denounce Jesus the Christ?"

            Not sure if you posted this in the thread at all, but here's what another actual attack on the Capitol looks like:

            https://timeline.com/in-1954-these-f...n-7e7018283865

            On the afternoon of March 1, 1954, four armed Puerto Rican nationalists entered the United States Capitol building. Security guards stopped the group — consisting of three men and one woman — and asked them if they had cameras. They did not. The quartet then proceeded to an upper gallery of the House chamber. Below them, members of the Congress were debating a bill.

            They drew guns and began shooting down into the floor of the House. It was the the most severe assault in the history of the Capitol building. In all, five members of Congress were hit, and while some were critically wounded, they all survived.

              And didn't Obama (or was it Clinton) pardon one of those thugs?

                Jimmy Carter pardoned at least 3 of them.

                            Are you making the accusation, before God, that I am a non-Christian?

                              I put the accusation before your deity, that you are a gormless twit.

                                Again, what is with you and asking people to swear things before God?

                                Matthew 5:37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
