I found an article that claimed that Buttigieg is outspoken about his faith. However, I can't find anything in the article itself that actually demonstrates that to be true. You would think if anything was available, it would have been quoted.

There is ZERO reference to his "faith" on his official website.
He has made statements questioning the practice of prayer.
His partner's brother mentions concern over the rejection of Christ, and claims this whole "faith" thing is a campaign ruse.
There is no evidence that he ever joined the Episcopal Church.
There is no evidence that he actually attends the Episcopal Church.
There is no evidence that he ever refers to the Bible with regards to his lifestyle choice.
Tass and Jimmy have been unable to produce even ONE quote where Buttigieg even suggests he's a Christian, or - a lower bar - a practicing Episcopalian.
It appears the media has just 'ordained' him a Christian because he'd be the "right kind" of Christian - one who ignores scripture and paints Jesus as loving and forgiving and accepting of homosexuality.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The problem for you is that you don't consider him to be a christian, not that he doesn't consider himself to be a christian.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

2) that's not what makes a person a Christian
iii) that was not Tassman's claim.
Here, lemme refresh your memory....
Originally posted by Tassman View PostButtigieg claims to be a “practicing Christian”...
There are a number of other places where Tassman makes this claim.
And the standard that YOU set was...
Originally posted by JimL View PostOkay, show me the actual quote made by the presiding Bishop herself, not someone elses testimony of what she said.
So, how bout a whole lot less ignorant rambling, and a little more effort in showing the actual quote.
You CAN'T -- so all you have left is to spew forth profound ignorance.

As I’ve argued all along, you are judging Buttigieg by a standard that applies to your brand of Christianity not his. The Catholic Church applies a different standard again, which relates to being a Christian church with a hierarchy of priests and bishops under the pope, a liturgy centered in the Mass, veneration of the Virgin Mary and saints, clerical celibacy, and a body of dogma including transubstantiation and papal infallibility. Up until Vatican II you lot were deemed heretics destined for hell...just as you are consigning Buttigieg and liberal Christianity to perdition for their "erroneous" beliefs. There's no difference in principle.
Gotta love you squabbling, judgmental Christians.Last edited by Tassman; 05-28-2019, 12:20 AM.“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

A) Produce a quote where Buttigieg actually claims to be a practicing Christian, as you stated.
2) Admit you overshot the runway and he apparently claims no such thing.
I predict you'll continue your jackassery, because you have the credibility of pond scum.Last edited by Cow Poke; 05-28-2019, 08:25 AM.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
