Re: The Rise of the Political Christian
To appreciate, you'd need to know about the "Liberty Way" which says, "“being in any state of undress with a member of the opposite sex.”. I am assuming Mrs. Falwell was somewhat naked during her adventure for which her husband, the former president of Liberty University, enjoyed watch her having sex. Did I mention they have three children?Originally Posted by Lloyd

All three are above 18 years old, consenting, and Gerry states he's not religious. So, who cares?

Why does the behavior of these three matter to... anyone, Chuck? Why is this immoral?

Re: The Rise of the Political Christian
If you had a standard for me that you didn’t apply to yourself, would it matter? Do people who choose be in leadership be expected to obey the laws and rules that are applied to those under them? Now, that’s why it matters to me. However, I’m saying it needs to matter to you.Why does the behavior of these three matter to... anyone, Chuck? Why is this immoral?

I do not consider morality as people only doing what is right In their own eyes. Generally, justice requires that rules and laws be equally applicable to all.
Putin is over 18 and does not live in the US of course. By what standard are you able to criticize him? Perhaps you don’t.
Re: The Rise of the Political Christian
Are you comparing their ménage ŕ trois to Putin?😒
Are you saying that you never acted hypocritically? Getting upset by someone's behavior despite you doing, or had done, almost the same thing? Do you think you know right from wrong in a way that applies universally?

Oh hell yes, I have played the hypocrite. I just don't pretend otherwise. Otherwise, I can see you either don't understand the difference or you're just being divisive.

Re: The Rise of the Political Christian
No more explanation should be required. If you disagree, that's fine with me. I am not trying to change your opinion regarding morality or ethics. I've explained and been transparent. At this point, you appear to being trolling.Can you explain what you mean in writing the above?

Re: The Rise of the Political Christian
Wow. A stunning opinion piece by Michael Gerson on the un-Christian behavior of the alliance of evangelicals with the radical Right and Trumpism. The piece also includes a good history of the movement of Jesus and what he stood for. I am not really a believing Christian, but this piece has me reflecting deeply (it's an essay, not a brief column)
from the WaPo (I hope that you can read it. Let me know if you can't and I'll see if there is something I can do):

Thank you Lloyd. Here is a piece he wrote in 2018. I’ve seen him with David Brooks on PBS Fridays.
