    "I am offended"

    are two separate concepts. Assuming the latter when the former has been said is essentially an exercise in mind-reading.

          You're "offended" by it because you find it "inappropriate". Last word to you.

And just very quickly felt drawn to that community. And now for about 10 years it's been my faith home." "It was a mix of faith but also of community that really made it the right place to be".

            How does Beck know what Buttigeg does when the latter has been as quite as a church mouse about it? Beck doesn't even live in the same same state[1] much less go to the same church (and wouldn't even if they lived in the same neighborhood since they belong to different denominations.

            Beck has no idea if Buttigeg recites the creeds, is respectably silent during that time or is checking his emails and text messages.

            A statement from Buttigeg affirming that he is would be sufficient. But he has been noticeably silent on the matter which is odd for a practicing/committed/devout Christian[2]. Instead we get a few scattered incredibly nebulous statements that as I previously noted could also have been said by a semi-agnostic theist.





            1. South Bend, Indiana is over 700 miles from NYC where Beck resides.

            2. As a Christian Buttigeg ought to be quite aware of I Peter 3:5:

            Scripture Verse:

            but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect

            © Copyright Original Source



            Buttigeg seems awfully reluctant to offer such a defense and such reticence is quite frankly inexplicable if he is, as you proclaim, a practicing/committed/devout Christian

                You are displaying quite a talent for twisting what someone says so that it becomes totally unrecognizable.

                  I just find it quite amusing that one of our most rabid anti-Christian trolls is so desperately bent on turning Buttigieg into a "sincere Christian", even if he has to totally make things up.

                    Beck is CNN's go-to priest for any time they wish to denigrate Christianity.

                    I hope Beck never sticks up for MY Christianity!

                            Do let us know when you can find the actual evidence we're looking for, rather than unsupported assumptions.

                              Ah, the drama queen response. No surprise there.

                              A) You don't know that Buttigieg even ATTENDS Church - his own brother-in-law indicates that he and his 'husband' have pretty much abandoned the faith, and this is all a political ploy.
                              2) IF HE DOES attend Church, you don't know if it's regular attendance, or something more on the order of CEO
                              C) IF HE DOES attend Church, you don't know that he actually recites the creed. Unless, of course, you're standing next to him and hear him.


                              Seriously, Tass, if the VERY BEST that you can do to 'prove' Buttigieg is a 'practicing Christian' is make unfounded assumptions with no proof whatsoever, against testimony of his own brother-in-law......

                              But, I get it -- Buttigieg is a homosexual, so you are duty sworn to defend him at all costs, no matter how ridiculous that defense may be.

                              Please continue the kabuki dance, though --- it does have a small amount of entertainment value.
