Again, I can ignore whatever would be used to say it's wrong.

I don't have to give you specifics, because I can curate however and whenever I'd like.

Why curation doesn't wor

I will repeat back to you what you just said, counselor. You said the teachings of the Bible and/or Jesus could be cut up a million ways to justify any governmental policy.

When pressed to give a specific example, you chose to justify it with "I could just ignore it" and did not use any Christian based beliefs to defend what we made "your" position, of which you yourself admitted that you believed there was a million ways to do.

Like it or not by the evangelicals adopting Trump he is seen as a figurehead of the religion and he is an absolutely terrible person by so many metrics in ways that run so counter to Jesus. It makes the while thing come off as cultish and hypocritical.

I agree with this. I think Pettifogger would as well.

Trump is a horrible person to endorse as a Christian, especially Christians in the public sphere.

That is a separate question from “Should I vote for the have the trannies read tranny stories to kids party?”

you missed the boat as usual

this thread is not about political science takes on percentages from religious voters

it's about religious takes on percentages of religious voters

And tens of millions of democratic voters are Christian. People call me holier than thou...at least I'm not dictating to people whether they are "real Christians" or not.

I never said that politics should be separate from politics

But environmentalism isn’t inherently political. It’s a belief system that wishes to make its values the values that govern our lives.

You see it as something very different from religion because you don’t know anything about religion.

The Catholics and even some Protestant lines make no distinction officially....or unofficial. My Parish Priest says that he would be compelled morally to care for illegal immigrants if they asked for his help and protection, and I would not necessarily call him a liberal priest

That's the thing about Christianity. It's " conservative" and "progressive" at the same time. The New Testament will challenge you....no matter what your political persuasion. You will find that even the most pious will have shortcomings, and sin and temptation are your ever present companions.

Maybe you could distort your views as some form of Christian but it is a fact that you cannot support both the democratic platform and truly believe in the teachings of the Catholic Church.

the irony is just amazing when people argue faith and politics

1) You clearly don't understand the meaning of that parable from Christ.

2) What about the entire abortion thing? You think that is Christian?

3) How is the tranny push and the left actively exposing children to perversions? What do you think the penalty for that is?

would agree on a Christian perspective on most, But, the Catholic Church....and even the Easter Rite has been outspoken for a long time on their support for immigrants ......especially Catholic immigrants

Legal immigration, no problem there. The massive illegal immigrant flooding is a different issue.

quote:

we have 2 parties in this country and neither of them are Christian. Politicians embody everything Jesus stood against. You can argue on which party is worse sure but lets not act like either of them give a shite about faith. Faith is nothing but lip service for politicians.

I agree with all of that, but I don't think that's the point he's making.
