    So Buttigieg belongs (that hasn't been proven, actually - he "more or less" identifies with the Episcopal church) to an organization that pretty much believes anything goes, and whose national leadership openly mocked God, the trinity, and pretty much all things Christians hold dear, doesn't believe prayer is worth his time, and Buttigieg himself advocates for abortion at any stage of pregnancy.

    No wonder you love him.
    Tazzy loves Christians that are only Christians in name only? I’m shocked.

      Liberals are so entertaining. Tazzy’s buddy Starlight attack’s me for my long military service and not a peep from Tazzy about it. I wish they would make up their mind if military service is bad or not.

        No comment about Biden's illustrious military career?

          Or Kerry’s treatment of his military medals.

              It's only good if you are liberal, gay and running for office it appears.

                Well, that would be YOUR contribution, so ....

                Semantics.
                Not even.

                What Buttigieg said was very much like “practicing Christian” as that term is generally understood...as has been previously linked several times.
                You are so amusing.... "No, Buttigieg didn't actually use those words, or anything really like it, but lots of people put those words in his mouth, so that counts!!! Semantics!!!"

                No, my "long established argument has been: "...that there’s often a conflict of scriptural interpretation between Christians"(#110) for which I provided numerous examples. .
                That's your new and REVISED "long established argument" since you can't prove your ORIGINAL "long established argument". And, NO, you have ZERO proof that Buttigieg ever even REFERENCED the verses in question, let alone came up with any kind of "interpretation" for them --- He just flat out IGNORES the parts of scripture that condemn his chosen lifestyle.
                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  Or the others mentioned who have a more outstanding record than Buttigieg, while he's claiming to be the bestest?

                    I had to laugh at that, myself. It's part and parcel of his unique "charm".

                        I must say, I find the "numerous examples" overwhelming.

                          And a very practiced kabuki dancer!

                          But ya gotta hand him this --- he's FAR more eloquent in his distortions and contortions than most any other anti-Christian bigot we usually see. Sometimes, I just have to pause a moment and marvel at his wordcraft!

                            That's not an argument. At most it's a minor premise in an actual argument. By itself it doesn't prove anything of substance.

                              Yes “semantics”.

                              My claim, supported by several links, was that Buttigieg considers himself a practicing Episcopalian and committed to the essential message of Christianity as he understands it to be.

                              “he cites deep Episcopal faith in a way that values voters could understand. (He attends Episcopal Cathedral of St. James in South Bend.) “There is just a way to bring it back to the values that are actually discussed the most in scripture”

                              https://www.indianapolismonthly.com/...tigieg-feature

                              It is you who limits “practicing Christian” to the Evangelical sense of the word…but this is not how liberal Christians like Buttigieg use it. In fact, many “practicing Christians” do not. This, apparently is sufficient for you to deny that such people are “real” Christians.

                              “When I got back to South Bend and was looking for a church home, I found in (the Episcopal Cathedral of) St. James this faith community that really takes seriously that it's urban, that it's part of a city. And just very quickly felt drawn to that community. And now for about 10 years it's been my faith home. So, it was important for me to be married in the church. And when Chasten and I go together I think it brings us closer together. It was a mix of faith but also of community that really made it the right place to be. And, of course, the fact that we were welcome”.

                              https://edition.cnn.com/2019/04/02/o...eck/index.html

                              It’s pretty clear that Buttigieg views himself as a Christian and an Episcopalian. YOU think he's got it wrong, that's your prerogative but Buttigieg (and the majority of US Christians) obviously disagrees.

                                Then I'm a practicing atheist as I understand it to be. I just believe in one more God than you, that's all.
