No, he said specifically that he wanted white Christians who believed in Creation to join the Democrats.

No, he didn't. I understood what he was saying, why can't you?

Let's review:

Central Scrutinizer wrote: Unfortunately, for some, to be conservative, you must be a white christian who believes in creationism, and never ever veers from that.

No thanks.

(Here, CS is stating those that think you have to be a white Christian creationist to be a conservative are jerks. If I'm wrong, CS, please correct me.)

Sentis responds: I am always wishing those same people would go on over to hang with their intellectual equals in the democrat party.

(Here, Sentis is saying that those intolerant jerks that CS was describing should join the dems.)

Your query: You want all white Christians who believe in creation to become Democrats?

And here Sentis clarifies: Nope just the intellectual giants in the Christian camp that confuse conservatism with their religion.

I don't see how you could mistranslate that "nope". Yet you continue to misconstrue Sentis' statement.

I think the problem here is that to some of these people can't see a difference between saying all Christians should go and all Christians that believe that Conservatives can only be Christians should go. Its the same thing to them.

They actually believe that you aren't a Conservative unless your a Christian so I told them all to go away by that neat little trick of bad logic.

I think you understand what you think he's is conveying, not what he is actually saying.

You quoted: "Nope just the intellectual giants in the Christian camp that confuse conservatism with their religion."

I suppose, on some planet somewhere, the phrase "the intellectual giants in the Christian camp that confuse conservatism with their religion" can be translated as "the neo-Nazis who wish to exclude all non-whites, non-Christians, non-Creation believing, non-male, bla bla bla..." But, not on this one. If that is what he meant, he could have just said so sans the code words.

I was a flaming liberal before I became a Christian. After becoming a Christian, I examined my core beliefs deeply and, within a year or two, became a committed conservative.

For that reason, I could also be considered a Christian who confuses conservatism with my religion, because I am a conservative because of my religion.

Then, your buddy went off the deep end with personal insults and some pretty bizarre accusations that have no basis in reality.

I don't see how you could mistranslate that "nope".

The "nope" is not in question. His comments after the "nope" lead to a different conclusion than what you draw.

Yet you continue to misconstrue Sentis' statement.

I translated what he said verbatim. Called him on it, and was pronounced a Nazi because I dared disagree with his hatred.
