*** no slur intended ***
None taken. I guess I’m trying to figure out the whole emphasis on this religious purity/beliefs thing this election cycle..not just amongst voters, and on FR, but within the politicos, and who ends up endorsing who.
It certainly is pitting Catholics (others, too) against each other, and look at the exodus of some from FR to http://conservativecircle.org/
They picked up their toys and left.
I don’t remember it being such a big deal in 2008, or 2012, except for the “Mormon” brouhaha by some. I’d take that over the crypto-islamist any day.
Were the people who left for Conservative Circle mostly Catholics? I wasn’t aware of this site. I stopped participating in Religion threads a while ago because of the contentiousness, which was very much like that of the Cruz/Trump feud.
I think all ideological battles on FR, and perhaps everywhere, have become more intense and emotional. I don’t really know why. Perhaps because when religious fervor is involved, the battle becomes different in nature, and the Trump/Cruz battle became religious in some cases. Several times on the Religion threads I have tried to point out that we are all Christians who proclaim to be Christians, since that is all the Bible says we need to do to be a Christian (the rest being internal), but was ignored. Some even ridiculed that Bible-based point of view.
