Another one on this Cruz thread that wants to change it to Catholic/Protestant. Why?

I disagree that I am changing the thread. The thread is "Is Ted Cruz born again". And by post six on the thread people were asserting that he would be a better President by virtue of this fact. (SoConPubbie). I don't think I'm alone in viewing "born again" as an exclusively Protestant description of many of their various sects beliefs. (it's a boundary that encloses lots of Christian sects, but leaves out others, the largest of which are the Catholics.) Implicitly it is excluding Catholics. So the topic is implied in the thread itself, not something I am adding to it.

So, they question is right there at the start. Apparently many Protestants feel that Born Again (Evangelical Protestant) beliefs make for better Presidents than non Born Again Christians (that is: Catholics). (might be rational and even correct, but has been not been explained in this thread).

You thought the Ted Cruz is Catholic and claimed that Evangelicals wouldn’t support a Catholic, although in the primaries Catholic Santorum did better with Evangelicals, than with Catholic voters.

You are something of an anti-Christian judging by your posting history, so what do you care what conservatives think about Christ?

Freerepublic is owned by what is probably a born again Christian, and freerepublic endorsed a Catholic for the 2012 primary, a primary which saw Santorum challenging that Catholic. here for favorability.

You have an anti-Christian agenda that you want to push, but it would be best if you not do it to hijack Cruz threads.
