Theocrats Equate Enunciating Meteorological Preferences With Blaspheming God
So where does degree of nitpicking end?
Taking this idea to its logical conclusion, is it murmuring against God to express dislike for a certain food that He has created?
It is an accepted postulate of Christian historiography that empires and potentates cannot rise without God allowing them to in the sense of at least not doing anything to block the ascension of these onto the world stage.
Thus, is one spitting in the face of the Almighty each time one expresses dissatisfaction with an elected or government official?
Often, those holding to this strict of a view regarding the sovereignty of God also believe in the idea of theocracy or theonomy where the Bible does not merely serve as a source inspiring the moral principles enacted into law but rather in its totality serves in its totality as the non-negotiable legal code.
So in such an idealized regime, would those verbalizing otherwise innocuous preferences about the prevailing atmospheric conditions be arrested for further interrogation?
If believers are to be so pent up and stifled that they can't even mention how they really feel about the weather, they are going to end up with stress ulcers and mental depression.
But I guess the upshot of that is that the clergy will be provided with additional fodder to heap condemnation up the congregation for the purposes of sewing the seeds for further spiritual manipulation.
If this is how and to the extent to which a pastor should control a church, the minister should not be dumbfounded when hardly sticks around the parish for very long.

In a homily, Pope Francis has suggested that God be sought through Mary. While she is of impeccable moral character for an individual stained by sin needing a Savior like the remainder of humanity, if you really want to have an encounter with God beyond the literary or historical, you are going to have to go through His only begotten son. As in the case with her Son, the Virgin Mary is no doubt embarrassed at times by what some of her well intended by errant followers have to say about her.
Pope Francis wishes good will and peace to the people of Egypt. Wonder if he will direct the same kind sentiments to Protestants which, unless he's going to cave in regards to this issue as he seems on the verge of doing in regard to so many others, he doesn't even view as real Christians as part of a real church.
If a child can be punished by a school over a recreational activity the student participates in during the student's own time on the parents' property, what is to prevent educational authorities from punishing students that attend a house of worship violating the school's diversity and inclusion policy?
A fanatic homeschooler threw a tizzy about a growing trend of people being buried alongside their pets. So long as the animal's life is not prematurely ended, does it really matter? It is claimed that this practice undermines the preeminence of human relationships. So I guess you are also a heathen now of your family doesn't feed those assembled to gawk at your corpse that wouldn't pass gas in your face when you were alive.
Those calling for more of an emphasis on the Old Testament, in all likelihood, won't be satisfied with increased doses of Psalms, Proverbs, or the Messianic prophecies. In a manner similar to the way these same theologians enunciate the lamentation that no Christian candidates are running in a particular election as code that no candidate embraces their particular brand of theocratic extremism, this call is for a renewed emphasis on the Old Testament is actually a longing to see many of the obscure laws and customs intended specifically for ancient Israel to be imposed upon the world of the early mid twenty-first century.

SE Cupp Attacked Not So Much For Being A Pro-Gay Atheist Buth Rather For Not Having Ever Been Married Nor Spawned
In the 14th issue of the 2013 edition of the Accuracy In Media newsletter, SE Cupp’s conservative credentials are called into question because she is a woman that has never married nor spawned. Yet nothing is said about Gingrich’s three marriages, during two of which he was already holding tryouts for replacements in the sack before these unions were legally dissolved.

Eventually, going out of one’s way to avoid direct contact with neighbors will be enough to get your firearms confiscated from you. And if you don’t own any, it will probably be enough to get some kind of conspiracy charge slapped against you because it probably means you never acquired any as a result of deliberation that the government was one day going to come after you anyway.

On What Grounds Do Recreational Hunters Condemn Video Game Players
It is for this rather than for killing 12 people that he deserves to rot in Hell from the impression one gets from a remark made by a midlist conservative commentator and podcaster.
But on what grounds does someone that goes out of his way to point out to the public how much that he enjoys hunting criticize someone that enjoys video games?
It is one thing to hunt to provide food for one's family or to keep in check a species that would otherwise proliferate out of control due to a lack of natural predators.
However, is it really a measure of one's masculinity to travel across oceans and continents half-way around the world to blow the head of an animal that one clearly doesn't need for sustenance?
In fact, doing so might cause one to speculate just how deficient in certain areas those having to display themselves in such manners might just happen to be.
For nothing shouts manhood like participating in an activity just because it is an expectation of one's peer group.
