These "so-called" christianist values voters....do nothing but hide behind flags and bibles

[Horse with no Name]

to elect the most odious and horrid human beings to advance their bigoted and sexist ideology.
The only politicians that they insist have morals are ours.
They see nothing wrong with abuse directed towards women or kids because they only thing they worship is mammon. Period.
THEY are the Anti-Christ that the Bible warns us of. They are the Thieves in the Temple.
They are many things but the one thing that they are not is Christian.
True Christians would NOT support this. They can either be a Christian OR a republican.
These two identities CANNOT coexist in one person because they are completely antithetical to the other.

1. They use religion as a tool to achieve horror by deceitful means.

[Horse with no Name]

2. Exactly. And unmitigated power.

They have marched us back to the dark ages. Luckily, lions are not extinct yet.

[LonePirate]

3. The Bible is a book they have not read and they certainly do not practice its teachings.

[Horse with no Name]

4. I follow the teachings of Jesus

I was run out of the church by these religious charlatans.
My Jesus loves everyone, feeds everyone, accepts everyone, clothes everyone and warns us all of the dangers of the republican party.

[stopbush]

5. Er, he also warns us that if we do not confess him as our lord and savior

that he condemns us to hell. Look it up.

[Horse with no Name]

7. well there is that

but again, I am non-practicing.

[Drahthaardogs]

10. Nonsense. He never said anything like that.

" I did not come to judge the world, but to save it." The Rapture is bull shit too. Most of the evangelical shit is just that, shit.

It is so far removed from Catholic and Orthodox teaching it's hard to say they are actually Christian.

14. Matthew 25: 31-46

Plus:

“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” (Matthew 7:13,14, NASB)

“Just as weeds are gathered up and burned in the fire so will it happen at the end of this world. The Son of Man will send out his angels and they will uproot from the kingdom everything that is spoiling it, and all those who live in defiance of its laws, and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be tears and bitter regret.” (Matthew 13:24-43, J. B. Phillips)

Coupled that with:

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

You need to read your BuyBull.

[Drahthaardogs]

18. Judgement is reserved for the Father

Not the son. You read, but you don't get it.

[stopbush]

19. Semantics. God in three persons. God, Jesus and the Holy spirit are the same entity.

You don’t know basic Christian theological dogma.

And even if we were to stipulate your erroneous point, Jesus is the gatekeeper to the father, as in, “NO ONE comes to the father except THROUGH ME.”

[msongs]

21. even when you quote their own bible to them they deny nt

[Drahthaardogs]

24. Catholics and Orthodox don't believe in a literal translation of the Bible

Never have

[Drahthaardogs]

23. Nope.

Incorrect

[stopbush]

26. No, I'm correct, and you aren't.

But we are discussing badly written fiction, after all. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it.

[Drahthaardogs]

27. Your understanding of the Trinity is wrong.

Thus your argument fails

[hedda_foil]

11. I'm not Christian so I may be wrong, but I don't think it was Jesus who came up with that nonsense.

The Jewish messiah was supposed to be an earthly king. Jesus was of the line of King David (provided you don't believe in a virgin birth) and that supposedly qualified him to become the king of the Jews who would drive out the Romans and their puppet Herodian kings. Remember, that's what he was crucified for. The whole hell and damnation thing was never part of Judaism. Jesus was an observant Jew who preached only to his fellow Jews, so it's unlikely imho that he preached that he was going to be killed in order to save people from a Christian hell.

20. Thank you for helping prove my point

I've gone on record as saying that there are two types of people who wear a cross:

Those that was one to acknowledge his teachings and advertise their desire to learn and live by them (which is were I'd put you),

And those that are merely flashing their gang colors.

[stopbush]

6. Why so-called?

They sound like average Christians to me.

[Horse with no Name]

8. Yes. I live in East Texas and they are precisely the christians here n/t

[Mariana]

17. Apparently, only non-Christians can be bigoted.

Have a little irony, it's good for your blood.

[safeinOhio]

9. Fake Christians,

Trump Fake News.

[onecaliberal]

12. They're vile and without morals.

[dalton99a]

13. They are the worst hateful hypocrites on the planet

[librechik]

15. Here's a Sunday School song for the thread: (thx to Malloy)

[Horse with no Name]

16. Awesome!

Should be obligatory in every thread!

[KentuckyWoman]

22. "Can either be christian or republican"

True story. The end.

[Cyrano]

25. Well, there's Jesus, and then there's "Jeezuz."

There's a whole book about Jesus, what he said, and what he did. And it's filled with humane/moral concepts that people should read and consider. And, oh yeah, it's filled with a lot of forgiveness and love. (You don't have to be a Christian to check it out.)

Then, there's this "Jeezuz" guy. He's a white guy with blue eyes who wraps himself in American and confederate flags, and loves himself some Trump. He's okay with slavery. He's okay with excluding "The Other." His father, god, is a white, American "Christian" who probably also has blue eyes. Seems that this Jeezuz is basically a guy who does a lot of hating and is just fine with that cruelty thing.

There are millions of Americans who believe in that "Jeezuz." And I have no idea how to cure this horrible sickness.
