    Werewolf Can you really be an American Christian if you don't fully support trump, god's rep?

    Can you really be an American Christian if you don't fully support trump, god's rep?

    Surely his election is a sign from God.....

    Surely that was how this "miracle" came about so he could be used as a vessel to bring "God's country" back in line w/ his will..........

    So lying, cheating, beating heathens, aka non- republicans/trump supporters is ok & in accordance w/ his will.......

    As it says in Corrupthians two, & I'll quote trump's favorite book here: "the ends justify the means, the rich shall inherit the earth & the poor shall reap what they sow, no more"...........


    Or not...
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Trump certainly is no Christian, but everyone, including the 65% of Americans who are Christian, still have to consider the "lesser of two evils" being offered by unprincipled political parties.

    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    There is no lesser evil in politics. Your best bet is balance keeping each sides quirks in check. The only high ground for a Christian without a shitload of baggage is to stay out of secular politics. Before Trump, I was working my way out but he reeks with the manufactured unrests of the Antichrist. I haven't seen so much division, anger, and blame in the 1st world since the Balkans. I had to vote against him.

    Agreed on balance, disagreed on 65% of Americans not voting, agreed Trump is divisive.

    You don't understand Christianity at all, do you?
    Don't be afraid to see what you see

    Actually it's Trump's Evangelicals who don't understand Christianity at all.

    They should vote but stop pretending there's a high road or lesser of two evils. Most of the religious stuff is just lip service that never goes full circle.

    A lot of people don't understand Christianity. Including many Christians.

    You should tell me what I don't understand.
    You singled us Evangelicals out, let's hear it from "someone who knows."
    Let's rock...
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    I said Trump's Evangelicals. That's a specific subgroup.
