But why aren't they happy. Why are they so mean?

I try not to be mean; I admit to losing my way occasionally. I am very happy.

That said, I resent, and I mean resent deep deep deep in my bones the occasional implication that I am not conservative, unAmerican... and worst of all, Un-Christian, for supporting a political candidate that someone else may not like.

Self righteous holier-than-thou types who preach to me, hinting that my salvation is at risk if I don't do what they say... that really frosts my backside.

People who act like that run people away from Christianity far more than they attract them. It's why I left organized religion more than 10 years ago, electing to read, study, and worship on my own. Every time I make the attempt to find a church home, I'm reminded of why I don't need one.

You could make it easier by just being what Jesus wants you to be.

Which, yes, would also if possible mean to show your shining face at a church congregation. But from a different perspective. He didn’t nominate the church to judge you, nor you to judge the church, except inasmuch as opportunities are legitimately found to edify. The attitude shouldn’t be gotcha, but how can I help.

Thanks, you sound rational. Likewise you sound much smarter and far less mean than the rest of the Trump supporters.
