Wait, you're comparing Christians to "coloreds"?
What year is this?
In Trash’s America, ‘Christian’ is code for white iden y politics
Galli ... “I don’t have any imaginations that my editorial is going to shift their views on this matter.”
a group of 177 evangelical leaders —
led by Liberty University’s head Jerry Falwell Jr.,
recently in the news for “accidentally” emailing revealing photos of his wife to multiple people and
being photographed drinking and dancing in a nightclub,
behavior forbidden to his students —
released a letter
denouncing Galli and complaining that he “questioned the spiritual integrity and Christian witness of tens-of-millions of believers.”suckers in full sheeplehood
blatantly obvious that anyone who defends Trump’s criminality at this point is not acting out of spiritual integrity,
but the opposite —
they’re people who have abandoned any semblance of morality or decency in their lust for power.
Galli has been way too generous to evangelical Trump supporters, telling the Atlantic that they believe that
defending Trump somehow offers “good witness to the Gospel.”
defies imagination that anyone actually believes that
Trump will somehow help convert people to Christianity or
convince them to walk the path of mercy and kindness preached by Jesus.
religious identification is just a cudgel,
another way to define “real” Americans in the right-wing imagination
against the cosmopolitan America that is racially diverse and
broadly tolerant of Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, atheists and other assorted non-Christians.

Instead of getting your feelings hurt every time someone calls out Christian hypocrisy, you could spend some of that energy targeting the "Christians" who enable such criticism by personifying that hypocrisy. Like Christianity Today did.
Instead you're going to stomp your feet yelling "but not all Christians!" because for some reason, blanket statements made by people on the internet bother you more than the most powerful people in the country abusing your faith.
I haven't seen either of you even acknowledge any of the points made in the editorial. Do you agree or disagree?
I'm a Christian too but as long as Trump's approval rating stays as high as it is among people claiming to be Christians, we're fair game as far as I'm concerned. If we point to Jesus Christ as the model for how we believe people should live and treat other people, Trumpism doesn't compute.
It's why most Christians don't want to talk about politics right now. Deep down, they're ashamed, but they've been trained to distrust liberals/Socialism/outsiders more than people who falsely proclaim to be Christians so they can win their votes and cut taxes for the wealthiest people in the country.
"entire sect of people based on select instances"
80%+ "select instances" of evangelicals STILL support Trash as their sadistic, cruel cudgel to hurt people whom evangelicals Biblically hate: non-white, non-males, non-Christians, non-Americans, non-straight

Yeah...like I said. Justifying bigotry.
Dont care. It was a general observation about board bigots that holds true. I rarely say more than that, I dont feed into it.
Figured that would draw something out of someone who tries hard to justify their bigotry. You never add anything to discussion and your average post is a few words and emojis...until Christian bashing comes into it.
You are what you are. Own it.
LOL "abusing your faith". Im about as atheist as they come so the Christian pov is largely ignored by me....I cant relate to nor comnent meaningfully on it. I wasnt addressing the editorial as it seems to stand on it's own quite well. The virtue signaling from the enlightened progressives who, as illustrated by Chuco, stomp their feet because some dont join their righteous outrage parade, is just as hypocritical as the population they deride.

Lol "bad choices".

It was a joke. He compared being a Christian to being a “colored”
You’ve said a whole lotta nothin since trump got elected. Are you ashamed of him?
Thx for studying my posts. Yes. And I largely ignore him. I can do that.
And no.It wasn't a joke. It was a poor point. Ill say "a whole lot of nothing" as opposed to a whole lot of garbage.
Damn straight I own my bigotry towards Christians that are bigoted against others for things like sexual orientation. I lol at the other ones that ing hypocrites.
But like others, I'm extremely impressed with the editor here that took a stand against Trump. That couldn't have been easy.
False feet stomping equivance, tbh.
Well since you’re a smoker you probably can’t comprehend that being a bad choice
But you’re an atheist so that’s cool!
Not a smoker either. Keep swinging tho, slugger.
Oh yeah you are. Once a smoker, always a smoker.
Oh, I saw you pulling on that vape. Don’t try and deny it
Yeah. I quit that too. Wow. Keep trying.
Aww, you co-sign bigotry. And you express your emotions via copy and paste. How cute.
What's a matter? No one ting on Star Wars for you to go and yell at?
Awww....you tried to pawn your bigotry on me because I said one word. You had a full excuse to rationalize your hate. You're thought process is ed and you think people should be ostracized for their actions. I know you dont hold that same opinion about abortion and people who chose to be sexual. Your bosses tell you not to.
But hey, at least you dont smoke. Good on you.
