Well, after everyone pilloried his perfect and totally legal phone call and impeached him over hoax claims of wrong doing on it even though the heavily redacted and edited summary totally complete and awesome transcripts were clearly proof that he did nothing wrong, can you blame him?

Not really. At least in my experience. Except in case of the super mega event style churches like Hillsong and Elevation. And attendance is a bit of a dated metric these days anyway, as sitting in a pew listening to badly sung music and the same preacher each Sunday is just not appealing to...

What I feel this all boils down to is that, in 1976, Jerry Falwell decided to marry his pulpit to his opinions on social ills, or as he called it the "decay of the nation's morality". In doing so, he went against Biblical direction and the traditional stanch of the Baptist church to keep...

As far as raising the age, I'm not in favor at all. I don't smoke, and never have. And I put in a category of actions that are bad and we as a society should make efforts to reduce the number of smokers through education and alternative options, but that should be allowed for those who wish to...

I don't understand why you refer to it as "trending towards making those who make good life choices pay for those who make poor life choices" as our country has been doing that since before you and I were born.As we speak, a little over a fifth of our fellow citizens are on Medicaid. Your...

Which is a pathetic joke because he never claimed to speak for all of Christianity. He was actually speaking TO Christianity, and their abject failure to take it as something that could be prayerfully considered, they instead attacked. Instead of following the scriptural admonishment to "work...

An overwhelming number of Evangelical leaders have come out in opposition to the article's author. So it's 100% being dismissed to give cover to those willing to compromise their faith for judicial appointments.

You mean the JFK/Catholicism thing? That was bad, but I felt he redeemed himself a bit with his efforts to mend that fence afterwards. But I get it.

In a publicly funded election, no outside money is allowed, and access to the candidates are through debates and interviews only, which would eliminate much of the distasteful and often wildly misleading campaign commercial barrage that we currently are showered with. As taxpayers, we would not...

Mark 7:6 - "He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me."I had immense respect for Billy Graham. I think he was sincere and Godly, and I think he lived his life for his God...

I'm not bothered by it, but am bothered that Buttigieg got attacked for something that every other candidate on the stage does or has done in the not so distant past.Money is in politics. The only way to get it out or minimize it's effect on policy/society is to completely make it illegal and...

Because everyone on that stage has taken money from wealthy donors and PAC's. Even the "Gloriously Grassrooted" Bernie is over a million dollars from them in his career, and even over a million this election cycle from "corporate" interests.It's a purity test being weaponized is a way to get...

The magazine's founder, Billy Graham, had this to say about the direction he wanted to see Christianity Today "plant the Evangelical flag in the middle of the road, taking the conservative theological position but a definite liberal approach to social problems. it would combine the best and...

You're not in the Evangelical community, IIRC. For a publication aligned with it to make a statement like this is pretty massive.

See, this bugs me about Lindsay and people like him. You're fine when he's denigrating people you don't like or care about, but get all hurt and "he needs to apologize" when he hits one that you like or respect? That's cowardly. And a clear representation of Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.

I meant that even Kentucky republicans wouldn't feel a responsibility to defend these actions. And I will point out that I'm not typically a "both party's do it" excuse supporter, and get annoyed when someone else's bad behavior is used as an excuse or deflection for a different bad actor.I...

I actually watched it last night. It was interesting how harshly Warren and Klobuchar went after Buttigeig for raising money and not being a "winner" in enough elections, respectively.Also Yang needs more screen time. He's speaking way too much truth to be considered a viable option though...

Trump- “I won’t be reading ET again!”.Also Trump probably- "What's Christianity Today?"

https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2019/december-web-only/trump-should-be-removed-from-office.htmlJust wow. This paragraph perfectly sums up my opinion since day one, and the opinion of so many believers who don't feel comfortable losing fellowship over the misguided support the Christian...

I see it now but am leaving it because I'm stubborn and petty.
