Dan,

"Sounds strangely like Am I my brother's keeper?!?"

So you're not just qualified to call out hypocrites.

You're an Old Testament prophet too.

Did the Lord personally beam this revelation to you, or are you just freelancing as His spokesman?

You know...there's actually a name for people with that kind of delusion of grandeur.

They call it a Messiah Complex.

Speak,

"You're the one choosing to ignore everything jesus ever said."

Obviously it went over your head.

I am not responsible for the behavior of anyone but me.

Yea...there are some pretty strict Christians who claim I should only vote for someone who professes to be a Christian.

So you're dishing out that same sanctimonious nonsense.

I can vote for whomever I want.

Speak,

"If you believe christ is real why do you ignore all his teachings and support a leader who does the exact opposite?"

Why do you think I should get the blame for what someone else does?

I'm responsible for my actions, not his, and not yours. Just mine.

There's no blaming someone else for my faults, like some people like to do.

You're confusing secular politics and Christian faith.

Truth,

"Which one?
They all have the same basic nonsense at their core
Some even more nonsensical than others"

Certainly not Unity.

Baptist would be a good one.

Corky,

I've said this before and now repeating myself.

If you are going to accept and believe that the antichrist is real, then you must believe Christ is real.

Corky,

Religious groups lobby, sue, and organize to shape policy.

So do atheists and secular groups.

Right? Wrong?

Thats just how it works.

Now its bad that young people are listening to Charlie Kirk and liking what they hear and from a professing Christian.

Corky,

Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

Are you in denial that your side plays the exact same game when it's convenient?

Corky,

And don't play dumb claiming atheism isn't functionally a religion.

Corky,

I found several atheists groups that exist for the sole purpose of pushing an agenda to influence the government.

Corky,

"In reality, the movement has a close and complex relationship with both religion and government."

And so do athiests and atheism as an organized group.

Been that way for years.

Well...so NOW its a problem claiming religious beliefs are influencing the government.

Corky,

"MAGA isn't Christianity"

Whoever said they are?

MAGA is secular, not a religion and not part of the government.

However people "maga" are free to incorporate parts of (pick and choose) Christianity as they so choose since its not actually a government office or adhering to any particular church doctrine.

And include secular ideas having nothing to do with biblical teaching.

Truth,

Now describe Protestant beliefs and traditions.

Donner,

In my case I have stopped simply "believing" in God.

I am absolutely positive there is something out there. My life experiences have convinced me of that.

And the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only faith I know of that seems to have a real purpose to it.

Truth,

"Because food was limited."

I've read most sacrificed animals were eaten except for burnt offering.

Clown,

"Conservative Christians aren't Christians, they're hate filled pieces of shht using religions to hurt and attack others."

Indeed, there are absolutely Christians who weaponize their faith.

But there are also plenty who actually live by its principles of compassion, forgiveness and humility.

Condemning all conservative Christians as hateful makes you sound just like the people you're criticizing.

Dan,

"He protected Mary Magdalene from the judgment of others.
Kirk would call that empathy.
Seriously, try clicking my link before embarrassing yourself further."

Modern scholars believe the woman about to be stoned was not Mary Magdalene.

Regarding this story, Jesus was protecting the stone throwers from committing the sin of judgment.

And to the woman Jesus said, "go and sin no more".

Donner,

"If you have to ask you probably are one."

That is perhaps one of the stupidest comments I've seen in awhile.

I have yard work to do.

I'd rather pull weeds than read more of this hatred from people who claim they don't hate.

btw...my fall last winter where my hip and SI joint were wrecked pretty bad has shown major improvement.

Nixon,

"They can't. They don't understand what it is. They are told to hate it and blindly follow orders like good little sheep"

I feel the same way about "MAGA".

What exactly is a MAGA?

"Woke" and "MAGA" are both fairly subjective and mean different things to different people.

Jpw,

"It is happening"

Not necessarily. Not sure about that yet.

I was just mentioning the possibility.

It's not like liberals haven't gone through similar phases.

I mean, "woke" was already well on its way to becoming McCarthyesque before Trump.

Dan,

"Charlie Kirk would mock Jesus for being woke with empathy."

I don't actually follow Kirk but apparently a lot of people do.

Your comment that Kirk would mock Jesus strikes me as hyperbole.

And frankly, anything written by you is suspect to being something taken out of context.

I would have to become familiar with everything Kirk has said and not just read one line.

Jesus would never have empathy for sin, which is probably the area of dispute here. What is "sin"?

He would have empathy for the sinner.

Dan,

"Charlie Kirk would mock Jesus for being woke with empathy."

You're sick.

Or possessed.

Not sure which.

Dan,

Are far as hypocrisy, all Christians are.

But lucky you.

I guess you don't have that burden.

Dan,

What are your qualifications to decide if someone is a hypocrite?

Exactly which topics are you an expert?

Dan,

You sure don't treat people on this site who you disagree with, with a great deal of dignity.

Dan,

"Feel free to tell us what he really meant."

Sure...if you take one line out of context, you can spin it however you like.

But if he's claiming to speak as a Christian, it matters that Jesus directly opposed stoning saying "let him who is without sin cast the first stone."

I'll leave it up to you to tell me what you think Charlie Kirk really meant.
