    Thanks. That made your point more confusing.

    Can you try again to express the issue you are raising?

    There is an aspect that could stand some clarification.
    By Christians, do you mean people who would accept the Apostle's Creed?
    or do you include the oxymoron of the atheist Christians?

      So basically this is just an attack thread to troll Christians then.

      That's the point right?

        The same mantra of Bill Clinton’s supporters during his impeachment.

          Really? or is that just something you made up?

            Yes, really. Being alive in 1997, I specifically remember Clinton faithful saying they voted for a great president, not a saint. Republicans were outraged by the lack of outrage.

                  Sure. All I do is work all day behind a desk, post on tweb and watch TV. I bet that describes you and most of tweb.

                  I look forward to Charles' Trolling almost as much as I do First Floor's. I find it hilarious that he admonishes the conservatives for things he ignores from the liberal side. Like "whataboutism"

                    It's not "whataboutism", it's pointing out that nobody worships Trump while there is ample evidence of religious-like zeal and reverence for Obama.

                      I think you’ve never seen a Trump rally.

                        Thanks for proving the point. First you take the word "worship" very litteral which is obviously not the intention if you read the article. By doing so you avoid the actual points. Then you go on to talk about ....... Surprise...... Obama. The fact that you even think it makes any difference at all shows how deeply rooted your line of reasoning is in whataboutism.

                              Yeah, it's the same kind of excitement you see at any similar gathering. So what? Have you ever been to a sporting event? What I don't see are people talking reverently about Trump, or writing Messianic headlines about him, so any claims that we worship him are not well founded.
