That being said, evangelicalism isn't exactly rooted in facts and science. So rationality is a hard ask IMO.
True Christians don’t pretend to be Christian while they participate in actions that Christians know are not worthy of true Christians. True Christians know that the word “abortion” isn’t in the
That's been going on for decades.
It’s “God, family, country.” Just my family.
Some Dems see family as the “family of man” and want to include everyone.
Better a man down than face the truth of rotten souls.
U cant call every Christian not practicing the way u would a false Christian.
These ppl are the representatives for Christianity in America, and they make all i christians look terrible
Now I am not fit to see the children.
It's an addiction
It's a cult
It's about a man made self-righteousness based on bigotry and classism.

Jesus would be ashamed of them.
He refused to sell Iran weapons, and sought a peaceful end the The Iran Hostage Situation.
Later through Iran Contra we learn how Reagan got the hostages back, he caved and traded them for weapons and cocaine.
I do agree GOP is dead dead dead.
You must not be old enough to remember 18% for loans on cars & homes. All at all gas pumps bitching about price.
I personally thought it wrong to stop all those athletes who had trained so long from going to Olympics. Duh. Politics should not include everything.
Reagan dies in the 1981 assassination attempt. H.W. Bush becomes President, but loses to Carter’s VP Walter Mondale in 1984. The Republican Party leans leftward and US politics grows more liberal, and Al Gore is elected in 2000.
And Jimmy Carter was the most incompetent President of the 20th century.
We know the Iran issue was in part due to Reagan meddling.
I was in HS during the Carter years.
What a f*cking disaster, only eclipsed in misery by the Biden years.
That said the depths to which they've sunk the past 8 years are beyond the pale.
It's the worship of property and money somehow as God's blessings for questionable behavior.
Like the strong smell of perfume in a filthy house.
She was also married 3x, was likely never divorced from husband #1, and had an affair that resulted in an illegitimate child.

He instructed Voelker to do what he could to get the economy under control with economic policies that kicked in by year 2 of Reagan’s admin. A man of deep humility
My mom campaigned for him there, both parents voted for him repeatedly, and guess who is still alive and tooting the first Cheeto’s horn for a second time?
When it comes to wealth inequality (a good sign of Mammon worship) we’re better than at many points in history but we are definitely not heading in the right direction.
That entire deal should be labeled treason
Republicans were offended when they found out Jimmy left his original church because they would not allow black members.
What’s wrong with that, they said.
“Person, woman, man, camera, TV.” WTAF. GMAB.
His wife....OMG...
Just awful horrible human in a cold tiny packge
Look at the jets and mansions they own.
Those people are nutty hypocrites on so many levels
Project 2025 has been ongoing under many different names for 50+ years with the SOLE intention of moving all weath, power, freedom from "The People" to "The Rich".
They're 99% of the way there already.
But his policies favored the rich, and did mostly harm for the rest of us.
I used to believe that as well, but I am starting to doubt that.

My response: "Why aren't church leaders sending messeges of love & peace, prayers even? They are ALL silent."
She spouted conspiracies in response.
My final text to her was "Seats are empty for a reason".
