    And you might want to try with the truth next time.
    "Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing." Southern Baptist leader Albert Mohler Jr.

      You are creating a god in your own image and rejecting the one in Scripture.
      Because the "Christ" who allows you to feel just while you are promoting policies making sure the weak, the stranger and the hungry are not treated in fair and decent ways is not your "creampuff Christ"? He is so convenient for you to believe in. Wake up because you are the one who continues to reject the one in Scripture.

        And if you're going to quote the Bible - try doing what it says regarding repentance, Charles.
        You do not know what I am doing, so there is that.

        I don't believe for a second that you are a true believer, so I wonder who needs to repent...

          No one can be perfect here, and no one is. But this reply to Sam's post is closer to what one would expect of a heckler at an outdoor evangelistic service than a person that has accepted Christ.

          Why?
          My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

          If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

          This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

            A response to a bunch of smug, arrogant holier-than-thou sanctimoniousness would be my guess.

              It is not weak to love those that are hurting and rebuke those that are hurting them. But it is a perversion to claim that such a vision of Christ as sam is describing him is a 'creampuff'.

                So maybe you can answer then... Since this was about Buttigeg, exactly how is he weak and hurting? Or as Sam said "the poor, the helpless, or the stranger."

                  abortion -- every successful abortion results in a dead body. 100% of the time.
                  immigration - a convoluted screwed up policy that nobody in power seems to want to solve, the unintended consequences of which sometimes results in tragedy for children.

                  These are not the same.
                  Technically, this is not true. Most abortions occur long before the fetus even has a fully functioning brain. 2/3 before the heart has fully formed. While I am against abortion in most cases, this sort of inaccurate rhetoric about abortion is an appeal to emotion, not to reason.

                    You seem confused. This question has no logical relationship to any of my replies, or any of the posts that led up to my reply. No-one, including myself, has implied or otherwise indicated buttigieg is weak or hurting.

                      So, you're going to revert to the old liberal line "it's not even a human until...."? I have to admit, I am a LITTLE surprised.

                            Since 2015 is the last year that we apparently have the numbers for, and there were, according to the CDC, 638,169 abortions from 49 of the 52 reporting areas, just how many of those do you think were okay?

                            And people in comas don't have what can be called "a fully functioning brain" and depending on what you mean by that, neither do millions of people suffering from various neurological disorders. Is it okay to euthanize them as well?

                                You challenged my response to Sam talking about "It is not weak to love those that are hurting." Since what triggered it was about Buttigeg then it seems fair to ask just how he is hurting (I'll drop the weak part since I misread that)?

                                Or was your response merely an attempt to deflect and distract?
