They don't follow the message of Christian dogma.

I don't feed trolls, but I do block them and put them on public display. Belittling the mentally handicapped while sporting a white supremacist handle is not the evidence of faith he thinks it is.

"Maga Christian" is a contradiction in terms.

drunktheology.bsky.social•24 days ago

It is not complicated. Followers of Christ are expected to care for orphans, widows, the sick and the exiled. Does that sound like the GOP to anyone?

bitchinpost.bsky.social•23 days ago

Sounds like the opposite of christian.

drunktheology.bsky.social•23 days ago

Hmm. Far be it from me to argue the poor behavior of self-identifying Christians. But the source material is clear, “love your neighbor as yourself”.

Whatever party, a Christian must speak up when the governmental actions are in significant conflict with The Way.

They bet the farm on Trump. It's going to be a long four years.

Great read. Thanks.

Money, guns, and a god who agrees with me

Respectfully, how is this any different from firebrand preachers who've been loudly insisting that Democrats can't be Christians?

I've read the Bible cover to cover more than once and don't recall any mention of political parties.

Agree with you! Jesus came from Heaven, not a political party!

Respectfully, have you read the linked essay?

waltercampbell.bsky.social•24 days ago

Nope. I couldn't get past the title. And it's not because I'm offended, it's because I reject the premise.

I wish you the best in your goal of "Living and Loving in the Tension of Faith."

faithonview.com•24 days ago

It's a title.

michellesea.bsky.social•24 days ago

You might want to read it. It is very insightful and not at all what you think.

waltercampbell.bsky.social•24 days ago

Read it based on your recommendation - thanks!

I agree with every basic point in the article, though the author sometimes takes them a bit further than I would personally.

waltercampbell.bsky.social•24 days ago

That said, I still think the title is needlessly polarizing, to the point where it’s not likely going to reach those who, arguably, most need to hear what the author has to say.

Just my opinion. Your mileage may vary. 😉
