Yup the faithful sold out to the politics of the fringe within the RNC
It has happened before and every time religion is given an place
at the political table it ends badly. The reason? Fanatics and
those who see their own glory within the anchient texts. What we
have is the folks Jesus warned about false prophets, and these
same Christians bow at the alter of Trumpism. November will
see better days when sane people take back the house and senate

They are easily hoodwinked, those Bible Belt Evangelicals. Dubya Bush hijacked them, as well. They are looking in really grungy places for their saviour to return.

All you gotta do to get the Evangelical/social conservative vote is to say you're against abortion or gay marriage. They don't really care about much else

The previous posts have all been tolerant. And very truthful.

BS.. They are nothing more than bigoted and intolerant jerks.

If you doubt my suggestion, take any one of the last posts by the usual suspects and replace the word Christian, Catholic or Vatican with the word woman, Chinese or handicap and see exactly how the statement reads.

You'll be disgusted especially by the prospect that these jack-asses somehow believe that they are being objective

Yeah, Jesus went on and on about Gay marriages and abortion ... hardly ever shut up about them. I can see their point, really.

... actually, a lot less of each is shown in the Islamophobic threads ;)

I hear ya.

What really surprises me so much is that the folks that are front and center in is acting open minded and tolerant in the Islamophobic threads are the same ones that are intolerant in the ones where they target Christian religions.

It's like Jekyll and Hyde

yeah, they deserved it cliffy. remember their god is one whom loves them, and wants only what he's planned for them. They have a choice...to be his slaves or to use their free will and burn in hell for eternity. Sounds divine, doesn't it?

People aren’t God.

So..you're seriously telling another poster their opinion is B.S because yours is better...your opinion is better. That is what you're arguing about....

No.

You are welcome anytime to go back and review your own contribution and make the assessment yourself.

Fact is, you don't offer opinion nor do you consider those opinions of anyone else, you simply submit a insulting statement and act as if it's fact.

Like I suggested to another poster, take your statement and exchange the word (or references) to Christian with the word Woman or handicap and then step back and tell me it's anot tasteless and offensive.

It's shocking that you can't see this

it's shocking I can't see your opinion? what's your opinion worth to anyone but you?

Don't take it hard. You shouldn't worry about anything I say, if you're convinced of your personal assessment.

Looks like someone just got triggered.

Looks like someone WANTS to be triggered.

This isn't about my opinion, it's about you being intolerant and needing to rely on broad over generalizations to have some kind of point (whatever that is).

And when challenged like I did earlier on the question of the source of the slaves being shanghaied, there is magically no answer as it acts to undermine those generalizations and assumptions that your house of cards is built on.

... That is no longer opinion, is it?... It's a direct observation of your actions (or lack thereof)

Regrettable that you refuse to engage any kind of discussion that might challenge your position.

.... Is that an indication that your position is tenuous?

I'm very happy to engage in conversation with people who don't talk past one another. You're just soap boxing. You have no information I need.

Your opinion is of no value to me. I don't come here to read your posts. Carry on carrying on.

You don't need one unless you plan on taking a couple hours pondering your faith in the impossibility that 0 can be divided by 0 with a sum of infinity.
