They either 1) attend a church that isn’t Christian except for in name or 2) they aren’t progressive.


OP said “church” not Christian. Plenty of Democrats attend synagogues, Unitarian churches, etc.

OP said “Democrats” not progressives.

Your interpretation of Christianity is not in line with “progressivism.” Nobody has a monopoly on what Christianity means. That’s why there are multiple sects and denominations. Even within those denominations, there can be fundamental disagreements between factions or individuals.

Jesus does. You’re going to play some philosophical games with that. It will still be true.

Christianity is not genderqueer Marxism. No matter how much you dither.

The entire point of Christianity is absolute objective truth. There is no perspective or interpretation. Don't bring subjective readings into that. Humans don't get to "choose" what they want about Christianity.

Have we, as humans do, messed up? Of course, that's what we do best (and again, is the entire point of Humanity. We are messy, uncoordinated beings with very myopic view of existence). But there is one, and only one, truth.
