Right. He’s a Christian. He’s also not gay.

But he’s not imposing his Christian values on those who are not Christian.

What’s the problem?

I think Christians “should try to impose” in the sense that they make the positive gospel known to the other person as something they invite the other person to choose. Which is that if you seek to glorify God with your body, God will honor that and bless you and make you stronger to strike down the demons that tell you “no, God won’t help you.”

We’ve been playing this game of life all wrong. It was meant for God to play through our life while we dedicate ourselves to His glory and exalt Him. Then there are demons out there who will either externally oppose you or reach into your mind and say “no no no, God doesn’t do that, you live on the basis of world/self/me.” If we’ve been living under the sway of these demons too long, the blessed life seems really awkward. Also we will tend to forget the promise of God when under pressure. The challenge for success is to glorify God with gusto in the spiritually high moments which strikes at the demons, and in the spiritually low moments leave the demon fighting to God and trust the promise.

RGIII has misrepresented REAL "Christianity." THAT is a problem for those who ARE Christians OR who those trying to understand the actual values, and expectations of Jesus Christ; It's understandably not so important for anyone else.

RG can NOT serve two masters. And neither can real Christians (according to Jesus Christ Himself.)

The problem is the farcical notion that his religious facade somehow makes him less of a Useful Idiot who’s facilitating the demoralization of American culture.
