The left believes Christians should be free to worship whatever sky-fairies they want, providing it’s a part-time commitment behind closed doors.
While interviewing Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, last week, CNN’s Chris Cuomo expressed concern that Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s faith appears “more central to her value system and her behavior and thoughts than it would be for just an ordinary Catholic.”
Cuomo went on to suggest in an interview with former 2020 Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg that people’s faith “doesn’t matter,” but their policy positions affected by it do. What on earth does this mean?
“It doesn’t matter if you have faith; it matters about your positions. Fine, you’re a Christian. I’m a Christian,” Cuomo said to Buttigieg, going on to smear the “devout organization” People of Praise. “This is more than just every Sunday. This is more than just a moral backstop in [Barrett’s] life. This is a fundamentalist approach to her faith.”
Although we shouldn’t take too seriously the theological musings of a person who saw nothing wrong with Don Lemon’s outrageous statement that Jesus Christ “was not perfect,” the CNN anchor’s observations here on the role of faith do warrant some reflection.
A True Christian Isn’t an Ordinary One
What does it mean to be an “ordinary” Catholic — or any “ordinary” Christian, for that matter? How is “faith” different from moral “positions”? Do we agree with Cuomo’s insinuation that Christian faith should be no more than a weekly Sunday commitment, if that, and then back to the “secular world” on Monday?
If so — and no one is immune from sliding into this trap — yes, we might fit with Cuomo’s ideas of “ordinary” Catholics. We’re also being lukewarm Christians, however, a category of believers for whom holy Scripture has some stern warnings.

Wow! Cuomo is vying for the Nero-Caligula Award this year. He does have stiff competition in Nigeria, though.
If ACB was a muslima, the lefty stooges would be singing about how wonderful her religious beliefs are central to her value system. The media is the enemy of all free peoples
I wonder if identifying as a Christian in the United States will soon become so costly that lukewarm Christians will no longer cavalierly identify themselves as such. In some respects that would be a good thing.
Faggots and dykes, we give parades
Christians, into the closet with you
Time for rw2
We can combine cw2 and rw2 at the same time since theres so much overlap
Komo is not a Christian. You can take that to the bank.
Whoa!
Might have to start wearing a Cross on your sleeve, like, you know, before.
whew.
Surely a judgement of Nineveh is upon our country. But do not fear.
In the sad case God in his wisdom permits the US to fall by its own devices and practices because in Gods foresight and judgement even by reelecting President Trump our country will not change the course of paganism in our culture.
Then I am with God for he knows best and what is best for us. It is his way all the way.
But wait, that day is not here. Judgement is not here. And until then we must lay it all on the line. Just as King David gave it all to save his son from death we must not hold back any effort in saving our beloved country.
I still hold to the hope God will see good in all those dumb people in our country blinded by the media sirens of the left. And have pity on them and us. And in doing so will provide a path for real change in our country.
And if God answers our prayer for a reprieve surely it is not enough for us just to win but more importantly what we do after the win.
Just like Uncle Andy who said that conservatives are not welcome in NYS.
Well, fine. Good bye and we’re taking all our income and taxes money with us. Find it somewhere else.
If you are liberal and can’t stand Trump and can’t possibly fathom why anyone would vote for him, let me fill you in. We can’t stand you. You’ve done everything in your power by trying to destroy this country by tearing down our police, our borders, our history, systematically destroying our schools and brainwashing our kids into thinking socialism is the answer to everything. Demonizing religion and faith and glorifying abortion, violence and thug culture. And calling us racists…
We are voting for Trump because of you!
Now do Islam.
And he and his thug brother hate the Jews.
