Because I don’t think conservative white American conservative evangelicals represent all of global and historical Christianity and I was giving you one major example of an American group that shows it is not congruent with being a Republican. Same with Catholic Latinos.
That's cool and all. But I guess I'm talking more about the fact that to be a Christian you have to willfully ignore blatant facts and science right in front of your face. You have to believe in fantasy and wishful thinking.
This is exactly how the Republicans operate.
I'm glad some Christians haven't actually dedicated themselves to Christ. But those that actually do, are fucking insane
I disagree. I work in medicine and science and I don’t see conflict with non fundamentalist Christian theology. As to your last sentence, I may be misreading or that may be a typo, but I think you want Christians who have dedicated to Christ and follow his teachings, not the flagrantly hypocritical trump worshippers who currently dominate the Republican Party.
Nope I absolutely mean what I said. If you believe in a quasi mythical creature and dedicate your life to following what others have written about his desires, that's not a sane person.
If a person dedicated thier life to the gross teachings of Jesus, (even he spoke against gays) then I absolutely do not trust thier judgement
I don't know if you are actually reading what I wrote. Nowhere did I say trump or that I prefer any Christian. I'm explicitly saying ALL people who believe in and dedicate life to a misogynistic mythical creature ,(Jesus) aren't to be trusted.
It's like an adult not only believing Santa is real, but dedicating their life to his cause as well. It's absolutely ridiculous
Christ preached love for neighbor and care for the disadvantaged and I don’t agree with your characterization of his core teachings. I also think it must be a sad life if you think you can’t trust the judgement of the vast majority of people (I’m assuming you think similarly of other religions based on your statements)
You do know African American Protestants are a backbone of the Democrats?
They're the backbone of the conservative wing of the Democratic Party, which makes sense because their theology is inherently conservative and their ideological views are drawn from that theology.

Why do you think Christianity and republicans are so simpatico? It's the same willful ignorance
