Pete Buttigieg: Christianity Has Extremist Factions, Just like Islam
Breitbart ^ | 17 May 2019 | CHARLIE SPIERING

Posted on 05/17/2019 7:59:46 PM PDT by KC_Lion

Mayor Pete Buttigieg claimed Friday that Christianity had its own extremist factions of faith similar to that of radical Islam in the Middle East.

Asked about the differences between Shia extremism followed in Iran versus Sunni extremism, the 2020 presidential candidate immediately compared radical Islam to Christianity.

“Well, you know, not unlike Christianity when it is motivating someone to do something extreme. It can have a thousand different flavors,” he said. “The real question is what’s going on with the regime, the government, that’s given the power and the apparatus of the state and intelligence service and a military, and what do they do with their ideology?

....

The South Bend mayor also compared the radical Iran regime to President Donald Trump’s administration, insofar as whether they were representative of the entire population.

“You know, Iran, the Iranian regime does not speak for all of the Iranian people as a unit any more than, you know, you could say that there are no moderate politicians in the U.S., and we’re all secretly enthusiastic Trump supporters,” he said. “It just doesn’t work that way.”

Buttigieg lamented that the moderate Iran factions that wanted to work with the West and the United States were burned by Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.

“Imagine if you’re an Iranian politician who put all your eggs in the basket of saying let’s make a deal with the Americans. … now you’re going to have a lot of egg on your face,” he said.

But virtually all in the gay movement are extremists and want to use the force of government to make all others submit.

I see that Pete is applying the "moral relativism" argument so misused by Democrats and Communists. The fact is that everyone is a sinner. Democrats use that all the time forgetting that they themselves are sinners.

Pete is already a "has been."

Nothing new here, just the leftist following their playbook and blaming others, character assassination, and pushing their version of the "truth" regardless of natural law, science, and their obvious bias.

Listening to NPR, they referred to “Christian Nationalists”.

May give that a try. Buttgieg is an “anal nationlist”.

This guy’s problem is not so much with Christians as it is with what the Bible says about his chosen lifestyle. His afterlife does not look good. No debate here. It is what it is.

Because someone calls himself a Christian, by no means does it mean that they truly are one. This mayor calls himself a Christian. Do you believe he truly is one? To be a Christian you truly follow Jesus Christ. Reflect on that and read the New Testament a little more clearly to get a picture of who Christ and who he would and would not call a follower before you spout nonsense about Christians doing the things you say they do. Don’t get me wrong in that I realize Christians like everyone else are sinners. But not in the deliberate ongoing examples that you give. Those perpetrators are not Christian.

This homosexual and his pretend “husband” are not what Paul had in mind when he spoke about the Fruits of the Spirit.

And one of them is the pro-gay lobby fast at work dissolving the mainline denominations.
