Half the Christians in America think the Democrats are on a noble mission to take care of the poor - how is that going to translate into Republican votes?
A deal assumption that everyone that self identifies as Christian is a conservative or has conservative values. In other words the author is living in a fantasy world.
I guess he’s not counting the many who ‘identify’ as Christian but also identify as ‘liberal’.
I knew a woman who called herself a Christian. Was seriously into angels. Talked about herself as "a Christian" a lot.
She was also fiercely pro-abortion, pro-LGBT, feminist, and even excused black rapists as being driven to rape white women by racism.
She was white and preferred black boyfriends. I suspect that she slept around a lot. She intimated that she'd been raped in the past and had at least one abortion. She admitted that she had a gay nephew.
A bulletin board in her home had campaign buttons of Democratic candidates and leftist issues going back decades. But her home was also decorated with much Christian paraphernalia. She did a lot of church hopping, always finding fault with this or that church, complaining that "they have the word, but not the spirit."
You might say she wasn't a real Christian, but she thought she was. She would be classified a Christian in surveys, yet she votes far left.
The problem is all the people who claim to be Christian are not Christian. The man who threatened me the most, who stalked me, who forced me to sell my home, introduced himself as, “I’m a good Christian man.” A true Christian is known by his works. If you have to tell me you’re Christian, then you aren’t.
There are a lot of good people on FR. But they’ll pick some litmus test, often based not on what the politician has done, but what the press reports and they say, “if he isn’t on my side on X then I’ll just stay home.” They don’t understand how politics works. The politician has a firm belief in X. But he’s offered, “if you vote against X on my bill, then I’ll support your bill on Y.” Now he has to do some calculations. If he votes against his firmly held position on X what is the probability that X will pass versus Y passing? He gambles. Also, this gives the opposition an opportunity to call him out on his vote for or against X, which the hardline FR person picks up on never realizing that the bill failed but Y passed. That is how the game is played. What we have to do is elect people who know how to work the odds and then stick with them rather than staying home because the press convinced us how bad he was.
The Chrisitan nonvoter gets to feel righteous about his litmus test without ever understanding how politics works.
Not a bad man, but I think he underestimates the number of Christians.
Sounds more like he overestimates their Republican bent.
GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE.....JESUS ISN"T RUNNING!!!
Most likely both.
He needs to work a lot harder if this is meant as anything but humor.
If Every BORN AGAIN Christian Voted, ‘We Would Never Lose Another Presidential Election’
Fixed it.
That’s true. You can either be a Christian or leftist, but not both.
Right. There are a lot of “Christians” in this country that think Christianity is just about praying for God to send you money to pay your mortgage or find a parking space close to the mall entrance. The God as Santa Claus Christians are more in tune with the Dem platform.
That woman is a fake believer, a wolf 🐺 in sheep’s 🐏🐑 clothing.
That’s correct.
I guess it doesn’t matter one way or the other because “winning” elections doesn’t change much of anything.
I don’t know. Mom was a member of a staunchly conservative Southern Baptist Church and had quite a few Democrats in her Sunday school class. It was the older type, who voted “D” in honor of FDR forever.
That’s the very game that got us where we are today.
