The Rise of the Political Christian

[Chuck Naill]

These last questions are unrelated to my statement that, in 2,000 years, no one has taken over Christianity. I'll pause here and wait for a return to the Topic.

I will assume you don't know the answer which, of course, is germane to the topic, for which I am the OP.

[kazoolaw]

Yes, you are free to make unfounded assumptions. It may take you on an unexpected path.

[Chuck Naill]

Honestly, I think these are matters for which you haven’t given much attention.

[kazoolaw]

You are free to think about what matters you wish, but I'd urge you to think on these things:
Philippians 4:8.
A change may take you on an unexpected path.

[Chuck Naill]

Maybe get back with me in 6 weeks, Kaz.

[kazoolaw]

Have a Merry Christmas.
Now there's something for you to consider.

[Chuck Naill]

Jesus was born in October. Christmas is related to the Feast of Lights, Kaz

[kazoolaw]

And all this time I thought that was Hanukkah.
Happy Hanukkah!

[Chuck Naill]

As any student of history would have known. More than happy to help.

[kazoolaw]

Nice try though, check your calendar for December 25.

[kazoolaw]

It’s been two months, dumb ass. I would agree that the government cannot establish a religion.

You can say you love Jesus and pay someone to have sex with your wife.

Thing is, all you Evangelicals are the ones shooting yourselves in the foot .

Accusation noted.

Evangelical?

Is that some sort of dessert?

[Chuck Naill]

Really, does it sound like it would be a dessert?

[kazoolaw]

What it sounds like is that CN doesn't know the meaning of his own words, whether he capitalizes them or not.

Why are you here? I never get a straight reply.

[kazoolaw]

You still don't know.

[Chuck Naill]

Have you ever read the four gospels?

[kazoolaw]

Yes.

I am curious if the members here who identify as Christian agree with this assessment?

"...a quasi-mystical connection with the profane ex-president..." (emphasis added)
That's not been my observation. Nor is the article clear as it uses the term "evangelical," sometimes an adjective and sometimes a noun.
The article also fails to assess the importance of who the Democrat candidate was.
And who that will be.
