    You claim it's Evangelicals that are a problem. Your quote: "Christianity has never been failing faster, the evangelicals have never been so worthless."

    Why are we "worthless"? Do you deny the fact that Evangelicals are charitable and give food, clothing, gifts for children, etc. to the hungry and less fortunate without reservation?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Evangelicals have long been where all of the energy has been, if Christianity was going to be reformed and modernized so that people would again take to it....if Christianity was to be saved that is....It was always going to have to be the evangelicals who did it. They did not do it, and now it is likely too late even if someone did figure something out as America is moving rapidly towards Maoist revolution, after which Christians will be hunted figuratively if not actually as members of an alleged hate group.

    This is all so very sad.

    "Reformed and modernized"? WTF?

    Why don't you address why we are "worthless"? That was what you said...

    Did not get the job done, evangelicals tried a lot of things to include turning going to church onto entertainment but they did not come up with anything that gave Christianity a new lease on life.....and now it is dying....as is the West.

    Evangelicals failed in their primary mission, to catastrophic result, which is why I used the very strong term Worthless. I did not mean it as you clearly took it that the individuals are worthless.

    You are grasping for straws and aren't reaching them very well.

    Why are we "worthless" when we are helping the less fortunate?

    Commendable, sir, and I'm sure JPP could use the money. I like this forum and betting donations to the forum serves two good purposes: it makes people put their money where their mouth is and it supports the forum. The fact it's easy to verify the donation was made is a bonus. FWIW, $100 is a bit steep for my blood. I have steaks and ammo to buy which is why I like $20 bets.

    Trump +12 https://www.publicpolicypolling.com/...sasResults.pdf

    I know the RWNJs don't believe in polls, but they are excellent tools when taken by reputable sources. The PPP link has Trump 12 points ahead. Things could change but a double digit lead is a difficult gap to surpass.

    Obviously if it's revealed that Trump likes young boys to keep him warm in the winter, that could have an immediate and adverse effect on his lead over Biden. Otherwise, it looks like Trump will take the six (6) Kansan Electoral votes.

    I wonder if all those who support trump and also support ACA will change their minds now that he's trying to repeal it.

    Kansas Survey Results


    Q1
    Do you approve or disapprove of President Donald Trump’s job performance? 52% Approve............ 44% Disapprove................ 4% Not Sure

    Q2
    If the candidates for President were Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump, who would you vote for? 40% Joe Biden................ 52% Donald Trump.......... 8% Not sure


    Q12
    Do you support or oppose the Affordable Care Act? 43% Support............................. 34% Oppose........................................... 23% Not sure

    They wouldn't....which is why Trump, or the Republican party, has never actually pulled the trigger on repealing Obamacare.

    They've been bitching about it for over a decade but have never, ever come up with a replacement plan.

    Trump talks a lot about a "beautiful" plan, but it's never been revealed to the public because it doesn't exist.

    Trump and the Republicans just use it to stir up the dummies.

    I suspect a trump plan wouldn't be better than the ACA because... well you know, trump. But I'd give a look anyway.

    I'm sure it would be just as great as Trump University, Trump brand steaks, Trump vodka, and Trump ex-wives.

    The problem is that Rex Tillerson was correct: Trump is a fucking moron. There is no plan. Trump is selling Florida swampland when he claims otherwise. Same goes of for his "lock her up" bullshit. It's four months until the election and there is nothing to show for either one. Trump has nothing.

    Yep....... If he had a plan it would likely be someone elses plan & he just put his name on it.....

    I think his plan, is the same plan the gop has had, "don't get sick"

    Agreed, but that reinforces the point that it's not just Trump. The Republicans have been screaming "Repeal! Repeal!" for over 10 years yet not a single replacement plan has ever been offered. Why? Because they have no plan....and that's why it won't be repealed.

    It would be political suicide for every Republican who voted to repeal Obamacare without having a viable plan in which to immediately replace it. Ergo, no plan, no repeal. Just more hot air.
