  • You Trump Supporters!!!

    To those rabid anti-Christian bigots who keep parroting the "you Trump supporters" jackassery, I think this article is a great one for you to ignore...

    Don't Believe the Doomsayers About Donald Trump

    Particularly the type of sentiment posed in this paragraph...

    Why would the Christians who vote for Republicans ever permit anti-Trump liberals to claim to speak for them? Not only is there not a moral consensus between liberals and Christian conservatives, but it should be obvious that believing and practicing Christians have much more to fear from liberal government and liberal social intolerance than they have to fear from lies about a real estate deal in Moscow that never came together.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

    So you fear homosexuals more than you fear a treasonous wannabe dictator in the White House. Gotcha!

      I fully expected my favorite example of anti-Christian idiocy would show up and say something really jackassy.

      Congrats, Jim - you never disappoint.

            Evangelicals have hired their own Goliath Michael Gerson who is a Christian writes:

            And he continues:

            And here is where I think he puts it in very short terms but gets it completely right:

            Among the Catholics we also find some very strong criticism of Trump:

            Leading US Catholic bishops have escalated their criticism of the Trump administration's immigration policies, calling new asylum-limiting rules "immoral" and rhetorically comparing the crackdown to abortion by saying it is a "a right to life" issue. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-a8399016.html
            From the same article:

            As a Catholic bishop, I support political and legal authority. I have always taught respect for the civil law and will continue to do so. But, I cannot be silent when our country's immigration policy destroys families, traumatises parents, and terrorises children. The harmful and unjust policy of separating children from their parents must be ended.

              Do you feel better after all that ranting? The fact anti Christian bigots, like you, hate Trump is a bonus point.

                  Liberals are not anti-Christian.

                    You can be such a jackass, and with so little effort.

                      Correction - not ALL liberals are anti-Christian.

                        Perhaps you are unaware that the office of POTUS is not intended to be the National Pastor or Pope. Trump is an incredibly flawed man who ran against an incredibly flawed woman who is also a liar and despicable individual.

                          Nope. But I see no reason why we should ignore the fact that he does many wrong things and goes in a direction that is contradictory to what is morally responsible just because he is not a pope. If your best argument is that he is not a pope, your case is very, very weak.

                            And I get really tired of you making these idiot assumptions that I "ignored" anything.

                            If your best argument is that he is not a pope, your case is very, very weak.
                            And, again, a jackass assumption that that's my "best argument".

                            Which is why I wonder why some people are busy trying to justify their every action.
                            I have an idea! Why don't you ask THEM, whoever they are?

                            And which is why I wonder why you have a problem when I point to the wrong things Trump do.
                            Yet another idiot assumption --- I am very much bothered by a lot of the things "Trump do".

                            He is.

                            why do you have such a hard time holding him accountable for his actions?
                            Why do you keep jumping to jackass conclusions devoid of fact? Are you just that stupid, or are you a pathological liar like you claim Trump is?
