Politicians have a constitutional right to be stupid, but Pete Buttigieg is taking advantage of that right. Pete is wrong about religion, abortion, and homosexuality. I don't want someone with three major failures in the White House.
In a recent conversation with USA Today, Buttigieg characterized conservative Christians as "saying so much about what Christ said so little about, and so little about what he said so much about." Pete was using the absence of evidence argument — i.e., since Christ didn't prohibit perversion, then criticism of LGBTQ crowd is wrong. However, that is fallacious, since Christ didn't speak about cannibalism, but I assume, though not sure, that Pete would not defend it. Pete is parroting the same silly, shallow argument that Christ's words are more important than other Scripture, but that undercuts scriptural authority. If a statement is in the Bible, it is to be properly interpreted by the context.
If it is biblical, it doesn't matter whether Christ said it or not. Moses and the Apostle Paul surely made it clear that perversion is an abnormality, an aberration, and an abomination.
Pete is said to be a "devoted" Episcopalian. I'm not sure if that means he goes to church three times a week, tithes, and says grace at every meal. Professor Gary Dorrien of Union Theological Seminary said, "In our time, the Episcopal Church is a generally progressive denomination that ordains gay and lesbian bishops, makes room for liberation theology." The denomination wandered far into left field many years ago, as almost all groups do.
Their pews are empty, as are their offering plates, sure signs of coming death.
The flagship church in the Episcopalian denomination is the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. One of their leaders invited a hundred Muslims to use the cathedral for Friday prayers,

“....Why vote for this clown?....”
Why vote for ANY radical, militant DEMOCRAT???
He’s got the funniest name since Joey Buttafuoco.
Never considered voting for Mayor Peter Eater.
If a religion approves of unnatural acts, that religion is by that fact invalid.
Why even mention him?
The ONLY reason the enemedia is taking him seriously is because he is a Sodomite. We already had a Sodomite as president (James Buchanan). How did that work out?
RE: Why even mention him?
1) He is rising in the polls, even as Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden are shrinking.
2) He has raised a lot of money to make a good run.
3) The press is pushing his name out. He and his partner just made the cover of Time Magazine.
We ignore him and his agenda, which is being pushed by Hollywood and the Mainstream media at our cultural peril.
“Why vote for this clown?”
No earthly reasons are apparent for that course of action.
Because it is time we all got “woke”, and Mayor Pete is just the person to deliver that message?
Sorry, if “woke” means suspending ALL critical thinking, just as soon remain at repose. That kind of “woke” is similar to an LSD trip.
And that was never a universal virtue.
Buttplug would be a perfect running mate for Biden, it would cure his sniffing everyone problem.
He’ll collapse along the way as will Bernie and Creepy Joe and Fauxahuntas; it’ll be interesting to see who’ll finally be the D’s pick to run against Trump. In any case it’ll be popcorn time.
And Im sure the muzzies will reciprocate and let Christian services be conducted in their main mosque? No?!
This bending-over-backwards to show tolerance to the jihadis is confounding. It will win churches no love from muzzles.
Black people are not voting for a gay man, he was toast before he started.
“since Christ didn’t prohibit perversion, then criticism of LGBTQ crowd is wrong.”
The late folks of Sodom and Gomorrah might argue with that point.
The Queer has zero chance of making the White House.
I don’t disagree ... but there will be many Left-leaning voters who will pick Buttbuddy precisely because he’s a sodomite.
“It’s time we elected a gay president” ... substitute “black” for “gay” and you have exactly the same identity politics that propelled Obama to two terms in the White House.
I’m not going to lose sleep over the sodomitical candidate, but I take him seriously.
Bittgig’s “15 minutes of fame” is about to draw to a close.
and you do not think that image is inappropriate?
