To ever call myself a Christian again. Think I'll just "walk the walk" and skip the talk for the rest of my life.

You should have been ashamed long before now if you called yourself a Christian.

Many people aren't interested in thinking for themselves but being told whatever they want to hear. That's why Trump is so popular among...
JayPumpkinCat
...these groups because he can just say whatever is popular to his base and they'll accept it unquestioningly.

Hillary did exactly the same with comical contradiction. All politicians do this.
wadenelson1
Did you say Hillary or Hitler?
liesuponlies
Hillary didn't though. She said what she thought people wanted to hear, realized that's not what they wanted, then mimicked her opposition.

I dont see the difference but ok. Tomatoe tomahto
liesuponlies
There are 2 differences. 1 the dem side had a second strong candidate that the voters wanted but the party didn't. Reps really had no solid

It confused her message (whatever that was supposed to be) and made her seem like she was just trying flip flipping to fit in.

I love the SNL skit where she slowly turns into Bernie.

At the end of the day, from a religious viewpoint, one party is 100% committed to the murder of infants. There's the attachment.
minkuschild
And some religions rewuire you to sweep everywhere you walk so you dont kill bugs.... some religions are pathetic.
MeatCurtains
I’m 100% for killing grown ass people who won’t get their shit together.

You're talking about delayed abortion. Abortion in the 46th trimester etc.
ThisIsFrigglish
Which somehow always manages to look like agreeing with you.
Leithreas
Funnily enough it's not the party you assume.
ThisIsFrigglish
You don't have to agree with them - well, if you're going to claim their beliefs, you might - but that's why they won't go Democrat.
wadenelson1
That is a very valid point.
ThisIsFrigglish
Now... I UNDERSTAND why no political cartoonist or columnist seems capable of recognizing this; they can't allow the discussion to happen.
wadenelson1
That abortion is MURDER is a religious viewpoint, not a scientific one. How do you make a joke about that?
JohnMagneTrane
Scientific?
ThisIsFrigglish
The very idea that there is an "abortion question", rather than "the right to an abortion", cannot be permitted in the cultural orthodoxy.
wadenelson1
Except they are not infants. They are fetus. And God himself aborts 17% of 'em.
wadenelson1
That is the SCIENTIFIC, not the "religious" viewpoint.
birthdaysuit
No, it's the "you got exposed as not-a-Christian" viewpoint. When murdering unborn children is ok but anything Trump has done is evil?
wadenelson1
Oh, right, thanks for correcting me.
ThisIsFrigglish
...and kills 100% of people who are born. So you would argue that Christianity has no objections to murdering adults?
birthdaysuit
lol when @OP thought he was clever and his snark gets blown up
wadenelson1
That's a lousy argument and you know it. Ain't gonna waste my time.
ThisIsFrigglish
Mmm, 5/10 at best, if you wanted to sell your "As a Christian" cover you should have at least gone for the "mysterious ways" cop-out.
wadenelson1
That one's ever-popular when faced with unanswerable questions like "Why Does God allow children to suffer"

People voted Trump because Hillary lied and fucked Bernie over, most people who voted for Trump were stuck between Hillary and Trump.
JohnMagneTrane
And noone bought his message. No, sorry. I don't buy your message.

5 Year Benghazi investigation found no lying on her part. You want to enumerate a few of her lies? For the record?
nickrock413
I didn't bring that up, but sure. She regularly changed her stances to match whatever was popular, like gay marriage.
CaptainSilver42
There isn't a politician with a career longer than 20 years that hasn't changed their stance on gay marriage.
wadenelson1
No charges were brought. Not even contempt. SHOW ME THE LIES or shaddup!
nickrock413
She regularly makes small lies too, such as the sniper fire dodging, which seem small and innocuous, but show she is willing to lie.
nickrock413
For some reason, in her trip to India where she spoke, she spoke on about how her side was "full of the good guys". Not to mention when she
nickrock413
referred to Trump supporters as "deplorables". I don't trust her views on any topic because she appeals to emotions and changed views.
LearnToMakeARouxImgur
Yeah if everyone could stop pretending there's a direct correlation between "good people" and "christian", that'd be great.
wadenelson1
Anyone over age 13 should realize we are ALL capable of both good and evil. But those who self-address as Xtian should hold themselves 1/2

to a higher standard of obedience to the commands of Jesus.
wadenelson1
His ACTUAL commands, and not Paul's "interpretations" either.
LearnToMakeARouxImgur
Sure. I just think they should listen to all of it instead of picking and choosing. For instance, sex before marriage. Not adhering to 1/

Personally I see "cafeteria christianity" as the ONLY solution for intelligent people who like lobster & silk blend shirts.
LearnToMakeARouxImgur
What's cafeteria christianity

2/ all of a doctrine is hypocritical, and I have personally been fucked over by so many christians who just don't care about their actions
wadenelson1
I apologize behalf of those of us who actually DO try and obey the actual tenets of Christ, few of which would cause anyone to be x'd over
LearnToMakeARouxImgur
3/ at all because they are "forgiven" and can just do what they like and say sorry afterwards. Christians as a whole I distrust

“Love one another. As I have loved you” -Jesus Christ
wadenelson1
It all boils down to that one, doesn't it. Yet Jesus himself had no love for the Pharisees and the moneychangers, did he.
CaptainSilver42
He did. Just not their actions. You can love a sinner and still combat the sin.
wadenelson1
Personally I find it impossible to love Trump. YMMV.
CaptainSilver42
Oh agreed, fuck that guy. I was referring to Jesus. I dig the Ghandi quote about liking Christ but Christians not so much.

Zacchaeus the tax collector? And He wept for them as he wanted to gather them as a hen gathers her chicks. So there’s that.
Gloriously
He also raised Jarius’ daughter from the dead and he was a synagogue ruler. So there’s that.

You Sir, are the payoff for this posting and all the insults I have endured for making it. A man who knows God's love. May u b blessed.

Right back at cha!

I'm giving you TWO upvotes for such a response. You have learned well. Jesus doesn't want to lose a single one. Not even T-rump.

He also welcomed Nicodemus (a Pharisee) and told him the secret of life. So there’s that.

If only Trump were sneaking out at night to learn from someone who knew Jesus instead of to raw dog some porn star, eh?

So, because people with whom you disagree call themselves Christian, you're ashamed to be a Christian?
llm0
ffs read what they wrote below the image. He's saying people who call themselves christian aren't acting like it.
theguywhoplaysmrbelvederesfanclub
And who is he or she, as a Christian, to judge the actions of others?
llm0
not sitting in judgment, just not sitting with them
llm0
the more religious argument would be to say that OP is ignoring jesus's call to gospel in Mark 16
wadenelson1
I'm ashamed to be CALLED a Christian given what they have done to the reputation of ALL Christians. I'm not ashamed to ACT like one.
wadenelson1
As in obeying the Royal commandment of Christ.

Aren't pride and wrath sins?

Shouldn't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing either.

that was an old-testamenty joke since you wiped yer ass with your left hand, lol.

It's okay some people can't read.
