The minions of Beelzebub always have difficulty dealing with the Godly to whom all their malignant schemes are transparent.

Their only religion is abortion.

First the "message" needed fixing. Now it's a matter of fixing religious "literacy."

Their stupidity knows no bounds.

But it's an old story. If only John Effin had spoken good old boy...

The party that supports and promotes every known sin and opposes prayer, the very mention of God, every form of Godliness and righteousness is having trouble with Evangelicals?

And they think they have a solution for that while maintaining the above??????

Proof that progressives have no brains.......

The article I saw ( in the news ) cited a title including the phrase “the least of these” as being problematical for a religion-illiterate editor. I forget the rest of the title, but the phrase was being used as a referent that the editor didn’t “get”.

As for me, the only thing I could figure was that it was invoking St. Paul’s phrase in I Corinthians, “... but the greatest of these is charity” ( as I learned it. )

Seems reasonable, but is that it?

Abortion is their religion.

Gee, it could be because you can not be a real Christian and vote for the party that supports every sin full throttle.

Liberals love quoting scripture. It’s always quoted wrong but they love to use the bible to bash Christians.

“Turn the other cheek”
“My brothers keeper”
“Love they neighbor”

And tall tales like...

“Jesus was an immigrant”
“Mary and Joseph were poor”
“Mary Joseph and Jesus were refugees”

Arthur McGowan wrote: “Oh, they most certainly ARE illiterate. Few of them could identify one of the ten most-quoted sayings of Jesus. The article gives an example of this.”

That’s a different definition of literacy. Mine was much more generic. I believe the ‘problem’ with religion in the democrat party isn’t a lack of understanding of religion. You don’t have to be able to quote “chapter and verse” to realize that much of the democrat agenda is based upon a denial of a higher power and the concept that man and his desire is supreme. In that sense, the democrats know what the Bible says, ie, general literacy. They know the Bible says that much of what they want is wrong.

The article is based upon the theory that democrats can’t communicate with religious people because they can’t quote scripture. The real problem is the democrat message fundamentally opposed to religion.

Yes, it’s called their pro-homosexual and pro-abortion stand.

Those platforms will NEVER be reconciled with genuine Christianity.

“Navigating religion”....like navigating around dangerous reefs or shoals.

Mr. Wear is religious illiterate!

The Dem(on) party is doomed. Dead, dying, still twitching; but doomed. I read the whole article; writer talks about “religious navigation”. So these little freaks don’t know how to talk up religious people. Religious people make them nervous and afraid.

GOOD!!!!!!

They’re doomed. If they put Keith Ellison as head of the DNC, they will be like moths going into a flame. He’s “religious” cough/puke/choke.

(I may have missed news, electric out for almost 3 days, and flickering right now. Snow storm.)

Actually it’s really cheering to witness the demise of the commiepuke party and the rejuvenation of the R party into what the majority of Americans really want. The more the Dems kill their party, the happier I am. It’s clear they hate God and those who believe in Him. Remember the three times shouting “NO!” a few years ago at the Dem convention a few years ago, about adding the name of God?

Their main hope is to import a bunch of third world immigrants, either non-Christian or non-religious criminal class, to offset this trend.

Dem(on)s are just naturally attracted to destruction, lies, hatred, envy and whatever it takes to enact the destruction. They will never change. They do no realize that the invasion of third worlders and moslems will destroy them, too.

Well put. For some reason that eludes me, they are more opposed to Christians and patriots than criminals and terrorists.

One cannot simultaneously believe in an omnipotent God while putting all of one’s faith in the supremacy of the state.
