    Well then, show us exactly where Buttigieg himself says that he is a Christian. smiley waiting-impatient.gif

      Buttigieg often speaks of his faith and his involvement with the Episcopal Church and there have been many links in this thread to that effect including:

      https://edition.cnn.com/2019/04/23/p...rty/index.html

      "It can be challenging to be a person of faith who's also part of the LGBTQ community and yet, to me, the core of faith is regard for one another," Buttigieg said. "And part of God's love is experienced, according to my faith tradition, is in the way that we support one another and, in particular, support the least among us."
      “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.

        Are you NEW to this thread, Tassy, or have you recently had a stroke? Same thing I have said consistently throughout this thread --- I'm asking for any statement from his own mouth that he is.

        Or, just that he doesn't meet your criteria of what constitutes a REAL Christian?
        Find a quote from Buttigieg, Tassman. That's been the challenge all along.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          That request has not changed one iota.

            So, that's the VERY BEST you can do? Buttigieg rambling on in a very general way about "faith", but never claiming to be a Christian, or a Christ follower, or a "practicing Christian", or a "committed Christian"......

            And you're wrong about him speaking often about his "involvement with the Episcopal Church" -- he was simply "drawn there" and "feels himself more-or-less Anglican".

                In Tassman's world, that's all that counts. He is given to much rumor, conjecture and speculation, the juicier the better, and totally disregards fact.


                ETA: So, that 'article' is basically a book review of a hit piece on Pence. NICE WORK, Tassy, and SO worthy of you.

                  OBP - it does not take "mind reading" to note when someone posts "Originally posted by X" and then places in that box something X didn't say. Since you had to do that intentionally (unless you are a bot?), then you posted a lie. I called it out. Do with that what you wish. You can simply continue the "Carpe takes himself too seriously" (or other) theme, or you can acknowledge it and stop doing it.

                  Up to you.

                          • One of the things that we apparently can attribute to Buttigieg saying directly (it's an actual quote) is...

                            "I get that one of the things about Scripture is different people see different things in it," he said. "But, at the very least we should be able to establish that God does not have a political party."


                            Ironic that the Democrat Party kicked God out some time ago, and in 2012 couldn't even agree to allow Him back in without some chicanery (declaring a "yes" vote where 2/3 vote was required, and the "no" votes were equally as loud, if not louder, than the "yes" votes).

                              Also ironic that his 'God that doesn't have a party' presumably wants all His good children to vote Democrat, or more specifically Buttigieg. If he really thought God didn't have a party, he wouldn't be making a deal out of his religiousity.

                                Sounds like what a semi-agnostic theist could say. Where does he ever proclaim that he is a Christian? Generally those of us who are Christian are quite open about it and take nearly any opportunity to proclaim our faith. IOW, you don't have to parse language and words from dozens of different statements to cobble up something that maybe, could be, possibly, is something sorta kinda like a statement of faith.
