Trump capitalized on the left's new hate for Christianity. This isn't surprising to me.

 

Almost all Dem politicians, including Biden, make it very clear that they are Christians.

 

Okie Dokie...if you want to pretend they don't have anti-Christian rhetoric, that's fine with me, I'll play along

 

And takes ten thousand words to say it. He can say less with the most words of anyone I know.

 

But just imagine how smart he felt!

 

If they hate Christianity, why would they almost all identify as Christians? Are you just going to ignore the question?

But go for it. If you can find any anti-Christian rhetoric by Dem politicians, post some quotes or links here.

 

Ok here is one

here is another where they tweet that they should elect the following and include all the main religions except Christianity

I could post about 50 more but I don't want to crash these servers
Do you really think Evangelical's like Donald Trump "THE PERSON"? I'm pretty sure they don't like cheating loud mouth scandalous celebrities. They love him for his comments about defending religious freedom.
The one thing you guys over on the left need to come to terms with is that YOU got Donald Trump elected.

 

I seriously doubt there was much out of that. The church could quickly lose their tax exempt status for doing that.

 

The problem is they think guns will keep them safe from harm when the opposite is true.

 

What are the relevant quotes? Those are links to articles that seem to have no actual anti-Christianity quotes, just insistence by the author that the Dems are anti-Christianity.

And if they hate Christianity, why would they almost all identify as Christians? Are you just going to keep ignoring the question?

 

The same reason how many of them are white and hate white people. I am not inside their empty heads so how should I know? Why don't you go ask them? and why do you keep obsessing over this completely unrelated question when my only point was that anti-Chistianity is what drove many people to Trump. I know why. One word. DENIAL! keep living in that denial bubble. I hope the weather is nice in there.

 

Huh? If Dems hated white people, why would the people they elect overwhelmingly be white?

That the Dems hate Christianity and white people is your conspiracy theory, not theirs. It's your theory and it doesn't make any sense.

Unrelated? You said that the Dems hate Christianity. But if they hated Christianity,they wouldn't almost all identify as Christian, now would they?

And why haven't you posted a single Anti-Christianity quote from a Dem politician if they all hate Christianity so much?

 

That's like saying anti-gambling is what drives people to Vegas.

 

Is it anti Christianity or just the type that rejects anti Abortion, anti LGBT anti discrimination, and anti science. From over here it looks like that is what the Dems oppose.

 

you can chose to ignore it as well like the other poster did. I understand. If i supported a party that believes in religious persecution, I'd honestly have to say I'd probably deny it as well. Have a nice day.

 

Barry Goldwater was prescient about this:


“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”

 

As though liberals actually compromise...what's their excuse?

 

There is no excuse. That said, it isn’t limited to liberals.

 

Yes.

So you found a preacher that has the same concern about Biden as I do so I am a religious zealot who refuses to admit it. As as I said before, you see what you want to see because you haven't gotten it out of your system. That dementia and Alzheimers people can be found wandering miles from home does not mean they don't have dementia or Alzheimers. Mental decline and physical decline are not always simultaneous.

 

I have two brothers. Both are rather conservative and have worked blue collar jobs all their lives. One as a truck driver and the other works with nuclear and other hazardous materials. And me, a liberal engineer. Their houses are as nice as mine. Most small businesses, like plumbing and restaurants, are blue collar businesses full of blue collar work, even for the owners.

 

You know this says more about you, your beliefs.

But you do support a party that supports religious persecution.

 

I would argue that they act as they do because they are Christians. All my life I have heard the bit about how Christianity makes people behave better, makes them better people. I have met enough really horrible people who are strong believers, and enough really nice people who did not believe, that I find it extremely difficult to believe Christianity makes people better people. As a Christian friend of mine says, “we aren’t better, we are just forgiven”. Apparently God forgives the wicked, as long as they worship it.

Here is one of my all time favorite statistics. Approximately 20% of Americans are non-believers. Less than 1% of the prison population does not believe.

 

The Trump capitalized on the gullibility of Evangelicals.
