Where have all the "Christians" gone ...

… long time passing? Where have all the Christians gone, long time ago?

Where have all the Christians gone? Gone to Trump-humpers, every one. Oh, when will they ever learn?"

Well, folks, it seems obvious that those self-declared “good Christians” have abandoned their much-touted principles – assuming they ever had such principles in the first place – in order to worship the lying, *****-grabbing Orange Calf who represents everything they once pretended to abhor.

A self-proclaimed *****-grabber is now their idol. A man who has lied, cheated, and stolen from hard-working Americans has now replaced The Nazareen, who admonished his followers to care for the hungry, the sick, and the homeless.

Those “good Christians” who once touted their adherence to Jesus’ teachings are now fully supporting a “pResident”, and a party, that ignores those teachings when politically convenient – and what “convenience” they expect in return is anybody’s guess.

Where are the “Christians” who once abhorred bearing false witness when this “pResident” lies on a daily basis, and seeks revenge against those who oppose him?

Where are the “Christians” who have endlessly bragged about their superior morals, their unwavering adherence to Christ’s authority over their lives, their immovable stand against those who choose to ignore the very principles that Jesus himself set out in no uncertain terms?

Gone to Trump-humpers, every one.

Oh, when will they ever learn? Apparently never, because today’s so-called “Christians” have now shown themselves to be no more interested in their religious beliefs than they’re interested in their country or the well-being of their fellow man.

Message received, “good Christians” – and fully noted.

Where has your brain gone?

As soon as I saw the thread title, I knew .......

NG's familiarity with Christians is as distant as her relationship with distilled spirits is intimate.

Yeah, BC, her sloshy re-write of that 60s anti-war song dates her ... the only date she's had in a long time.

The "Christians" support Trump (with all his faults) because the alternative would be so much worse. It is as simple as that.

I think that says more about the people you support than those who "Christians" do.

As with Reagan, Bush, and Bush, my support from Trump is limited and qualified. DU, OTOH, has lock-step, My Party Right or Wrong ... support of the D Party hard-coded into their TOS.

... The Nazareen, who admonished his followers to care for the hungry, the sick, and the homeless.

This is where they miss it, and I've come to conclude it's on purpose because they've been told too many times why it's inaccurate.

While it's true Jesus did command to take care of the under privileged, no where did he give the specifics as to how and go about doing it. So the very Christians the libs say aren't helping the needy could very well be, and likely are, carrying out this command as individuals acting either on their own and/or in voluntary cooperation with others. Somehow libs have this notion that if you oppose the gov't getting too involved in these things then you are not doing them at all, which is a lie. And it's extremely immature to view it otherwise, which is what drunken Nance does.

So the command to care for the needy has nothing to do with politics or political parties. When they bring it up, Christians immediately see the hypocracy of those, like NG, who make the statement, because one has nothing to do with the other.

  Ya know, if NG wanted to show off her knowledge that Jesus grew up in Nazareth, maybe she should have taken care to spell "Nazarene" correctly.

That said, as you pointed out, Jesus' commands were to believers, personally, not for believers to rope in government to extract $$ from citizens - believers and non-believers alike - to support a bureaucracy that would spend 25% of their $$ on the supposed beneficiaries.

And whether it's international charities like The Salvation Army, World Vision, Compassion International, and Mercy Ships (to name a very few) or local charities like Silicon Valley's City Team or Beautiful Day, many Christians obey Jesus' commands. NG just can't/won't see that. Because, as my signature says, ...

Two things I learned long ago.
1) never trust an atheist to give spiritual advice, and
2) never trust an atheist to discern who is a "good Christian."

9. I appreciate that.

But here's the problem: I don't see those who purport to be "true Christians" denouncing those who have hijacked their religion.

I don't see "true Christians" marching in the street in order to counter the hypocrites who are preaching the opposite of Christ's teachings.

I don't see "true Christians" fighting to overthrow those who are wrongfully representing what Christianity means, and the principles it stands for.

In times like these, "turning the other cheek" is not a demonstration of holier-than-thou virtue - it is a sign of go-along-to-get-along cowardice.

If anyone has a righteous motive to fight back against the faux-Christians, it's the real Christians - and their collective silence is deafening.

The stupid old souse probably thinks that Eric--when they go low, we kick them--Holder is a good Christian.

Just so we all understand.

For a DUchebag Good Chirstian = Agrees with Fascism.


Back to the real world. Trump has done more for freedom of religion than any president since Reagan. Maybe more because of what Obama did against freedom of religion.
