re: Buttigieg: "Hypocrisy" of Evangelical Christians Supporting Trump Is "Unbelievable"

How could he expect evangelicals to vote pro abortion?

If only those Christians would vote for the party that supports post-birth abortions, then they'd be morally correct, right?

Exactly. Someone else said it simply: you don't have to be good person to be a great president.

It is not for man to decide which vessel the Lord chooses to do his good works.

Here, you have somebody who not only acts in a way that is not consistent with anything that I hear in scripture or in church, where it's about lifting up the least among us and taking care of strangers, which is another word for immigrants.

It's dishonest to say he was talking about immigration. You should treat people fairly, but if they break the law then the proper authorities have to address it.

And making sure that you're focusing your effort on the poor. But also personally, how you're supposed to conduct yourself. Not chest thumping look-at-me-ism, but humbling yourself before others. Foot washing is one of the central images in the New Testament.

And we see the diametric opposite of that in this presidency. I think there was perhaps a cynical process where he decided to, for example, begin to pretend to be pro-life and govern accordingly.

Pro-life is the correct stance to take. The issue is whether you want to deal with the consequences.

A misconception amongst conservatives is that if you ban something, it will force people to behave in a way that you want (and vicariously be politically advantageous to the upper class).

In truth, all it does is redirect the problem. For abortion, this leads to more illegal procedures and more children in foster homes and/or some form of government welfare.

I would argue that technically this is better than abortion, but the population would have to acknowledge that they are effectively financing "anti-abortion"

He’s right.

Ok, what trump did was wrong. And ultimately between him, his family, and God.
But to compare the sin that trump did to the sin of homosexuality is stupid. It literally says in the Bible that homosexuality is not only a sin, but is an abomination. There’s a clear distinction.

This is just silly.

Look, I get that TigerDroppings is a right wing outreach project to indoctrinate college aged people in right wing ideology by providing constant group reinforcement and shouting down all contrary ideas, but this kind of silly stuff is outside of rational thinking.

Liberals have no trouble bashing every religion except for Islam. Liberals are scared (pussies) of bad mouthing the terrorist religion of Islam.

You are clearly an idiot propagandist. Up your game.

Belief is the basis for action. Tell me that Progressives don't see much in the Bible as 'hate speech'.
