    The unborn are innocent, after which they’re tainted with original sin. It makes sense in the dumbest way possible.

      This is really a Catholic interpretation and those in TX are certainly in the Evangelical camp. They don’t really think in terms of original sin.

        They do, but they also think that loudly affirming your love for Jesus and then living according to their rules solves it. So it doesn’t come up until you refuse them.

        Catholics think living a generally good life is enough and that there’s forgiveness for most things as long as you remain active in the church, go to confession, and do your penance.

          In my experience, there’s generally little difference between an Evangelical and a Sovereign Citizen. They both speak certain magic words that means they don’t have to face any consequences; they believe that they have all of the rights of doing so but none of the responsibilities.
