Fascism
You are no longer allowed to believe in God. Or at least, you are no longer allowed to believe that God did anything the Bible says He did. If you do believe these things, you cannot get a job in Washington if the powers that be can possibly stop you.
Just ask Mark Green. An Iraq War veteran and evangelical Christian nominated by President Trump to be Secretary of the Army, Green regrettably withdrew late last week because he had supposedly become “too controversial.”
Under this same stupid microscope, Gen. G.S.Patton would be too extreme. (you wouldn’t think so, but he read his Bible, too.)
We wouldn’t have won the Revolution without fighting, Bible believing preachers. The Black Robe Regiment was instrumental in our founding. See my tagline
What a loss.
HE'S GOING TO ALLOW THIS?
Well, it was up to Green whether to withdraw. I think he could have taken a good look at his, er, Peter (1 Peter) and decided to hang tough as long as Donald Trump did.
And if someone thinks naughty of this, shame on them....
Trump is at best a new Christian. He seems to act like he believed something that God told him. That doesn’t mean he can’t be weak yet.
It’s up to the entire We The People to support believers.
He is at peace.
The Holy Spirit groans painfully.
If he followed the Koran and prayed 5 times a day, though, he would be beyond reproach and lionized by the left as an icon of diversity.
Too bad, but Christians (the church) doesn’t stand up for ITSELF!
Then we expect the “secular” government to do it for us?
More precisely, isn’t calling vigorously on the Lord to stand up for them.
True dat. Bonus if he were LGBT as well.
Patton would likely be excluded for other reasons. For one, he believed he had been reincarnated multiple times and could remember much of these past lives and that it was to prepare him for his current role. Some included: Prehistoric mammoth hunter, Greek hoplite,
A soldier of Alexander the Great at Tyre, Hannibal, Roman legionary under Caesar, English knight during the Hundred Years War, and one of Napoleon’s field marshals.
I’m not having respect for such a person that withdraws for such a flimsy reason unless there’s more to the story that is not being told.
IMHO he wimped out.
Are we going to hear this excuse for the next 4 years? He is the most powerful man in the world now. If he caves in for this, the rest doesn't matter.
Agreed. The only legitimate reason to drop out is if he would somehow endanger or cause harm to his family by not doing so. A Christian should stand up for his convictions to the very end and, win or lose, let his ant-Christian opponents do their worst, publicly condemning themselves by their own words.
