Liberals often mock conservative Christians for supporting a notorious sinner and philanderer in Donald Trump, but the left has grown increasingly hostile to biblical (small-o) orthodox Christianity. Even the ostensibly moderate Democratic nominee Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. represents an insidious threat to the religious freedom of conservative Christians. He also represents a threat to Roman Catholics, even though he is himself a practicing Catholic.
How could this be? Biden’s rhetoric and policies single out those who adhere to traditional religious beliefs and moral convictions, aiming to limit their ability to live by their consciences and ostracizing them from polite society. The Democrat may outwardly campaign on a platform of unity and diversity, but his candidacy truly represents a threat to traditional religious believers.
Disqualified from the Supreme Court? The most recent evidence of this insidious threat came last week, when a Biden staffer suggested that traditional religious beliefs that homosexual acts are sinful and that marriage is between one man and one woman should be so “taboo” as to disqualify someone from serving on the Supreme Court.
Politico contributing editor Adam Wren noted that President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett “was a trustee at a South Bend private school that described ‘homosexual acts’ as ‘at odds with Scripture’ & said marriage was between ‘one man and one woman’ years after Obergefell v. Hodges.”
Shadi Hamid, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, responded, “Wait, why is this news? Isn’t this the standard position for any orthodox Catholic?”

I’m not a Catholic... but if Biden is a practicing Catholic there is one thing that seems at odds with doctrine.
Biden was a widower and was able to remarry in the church. Wife #2 was a divorcée and as such was ineligible in unless previous marriage was annulled. Was it annulled? On what grounds?
.....the left has grown increasingly hostile to biblical (small-o) orthodox Christianity....
They’re hostile to BIG O Orthodox Christianity, too!!!!
But Christians of all denominations who sell out their Churches for acceptance by the Left and the Swamp are considered OK by leftist leaders and pundits! PHOOEY!!!!
Don’t forget, Hillary Clinton said “deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed”.
I would hate to think we are lying to ourselves that no matter who wins there will be a civil war. I scoffed at it a few years. I’m not scoffing anymore
“He also represents a threat to Roman Catholics, even though he is himself a practicing Catholic.”
While the Church hierarchy remains silent about him, with hardly an objection.
His deplorables moment.
But what will it look like? Ambush attacks? Two mobs face off in the street like today's riots? How would we identify the enemy, the could easily blend in with us. I need to hit the interwebs and do some research.
A lot of people I know are beginning to say it will be the South and heartland against both coasts and maybe parts of the upper Midwest.
a few people I know, including a CEO and a lawyer are talking about moving to the heartland if we lose.
I never thought this but as it gets closer people will move to the side they choose. I may also.
That’s interesting. I’m in Nevada, so probably a “coaster”. I’ll be an operative behind enemy lines.
If Trump and the other Republican candidates indeed win, there will not be a civil war—just massive riots by the same creatures who are rioting now. These creatures will call it a “civil war”, but not really.
The newly empowered State and Federal governments will then have the mandate to CRUSH the riots and the rioters—much more so than they have now. When the insurrections are crushed, and with the help of the anti-covid vaccines, etc. we shall have peace and normality, by the help of God!!!!

Well I live on south shore of Staten Island.
With several hundred thousand patriotic Italians and Irish, i guess we could form some sort of resistance.
I’d rather Trump just wins and send in everybody he can to end this insanity.
That sounds like a great plan.
Because honestly, all the guys that are willing to fight for our side that I know are over 50.
Not saying they can’t fight...but there’s a reason the army doesn’t start recruiting at 50 :)
I’d be exhausted in six hours :)
The Founders NEVER thought the President and the election/selection of the other branches would be a civil war but a harmless mini revolution of ideas that changes every 4 years. This is what the left wants as in a total disruption of our society and overload of the systems. The Founders also never could fathom fvking idiot Americans,swamp political parties,illegal aliens and trash demographics.
Cet ready for persecution of Christians under Joe Baghdadi.
He also represents a threat to Roman Catholics, even though he is himself a practicing Catholic.
.............................................
Are you kidding? He’s not even a Catholic, and neither is that evil Baltimore Skank who disgraces the Congress every time she opens her yap.
And that same Joe could end up planting the seeds of a second civil war for certain.
Agree with you 100%.
DOUBLE PHOOEY!
Biden is a Catholic. But, so what? Pelosi is also Catholic and she has voted FOR abortion on demand at every chance. Some Catholic.
When she FINALLY passes on our good Lord can explain it to both of them what it means to be a practicing Catholic.
