I do know of that verse, but you are also ignoring other Bible verses and stories. Check out the story of when John the Baptist began to doubt Jesus and Jesus told him to consider His latest miracles & healings. Or consider Romans 1:20, where Paul states God has made His invisible qualities visible.

100%. But no one on the right seems to want to go that far just yet.

Christianity is up there alongside Judaism for having a lot of historical evidence. Check out Lee Strobel's and CS Lewis' work.
I disagree with your definition of what faith is. Faith comes from looking at the evidence and then making a decision. Blind faith is where you don't examine the evidence.

I was raised in a Republican household, started out as a Republican, and watched Fox News a lot. However, in my high school freshman year, I got into journalism. By my junior year, I had a healthy skepticism of Fox News. I eventually stopped watching entirely when I left for college.

I noticed this a few days ago! Completely wild.

And I say that while being a Christian. I came to the faith skeptically, and I approach most politicians skeptically. I was one of the first in my area of the world to seriously doubt Trump's intentions.

Christianity is not the problem. The faith stands up to severe scrutiny from so many standpoints, including from historians. The real issue is gullibility. And that's where you're right - I've come across gullible Christians a lot more than I'd like.

Sadly, that would include my parents, aunts and uncles.

No kidding! If I'm still alive in eight years and the US is still the way it is, I will leave the US with my family for either Canada or Australia. I am tired of people all around claiming to be Jesus followers when all they actually do is stay loyal to their political party to excuse their racism.

The main difference I see here is that Pippin actually faced punishment for being on that call ^_^

And he stole the press from Republicans spreading their propaganda about judge's seat race in Wisconsin. I can imagine that helped Susan Crawford win :)

All while a Democratic judge was winning a special election seat in Wisconsin.

My good friend's stepmother told me over Facebook to try to give some amount of grace to Donald Trump and to completely hate Biden for what's happened the last four years. I got so mad, I started screaming.
I am going to MISS the last three years so badly ... if I survive the next four.

This action seems pretty darn extreme. Leave Guantanamo for the worst of the criminals, like the murderers and rapists. I know, I know. Trump thinks that's what these people are. But does this mean non-American-looking American citizens will be in Guantanamo Bay just because they don't look it?

I get it that she's trying to support her boyfriend and all. But I am also starting to think Musk is blackmailing Trump for even more money. Ohh, that's comfortable.

When I saw that part of your show today, I was screaming at the screen. I cannot trust Graham one bit right now.

Just be aware, rest of the world, that I voted for Kamala Harris in the last election. I didn't vote for this doofus.

That's because Trump has taught them that being vulgar and antagonistic makes for perfectly legitimate discourse. It's agonizingly non-intellectual.

That was my reaction the first 7 days after the election. What helped me get over that was realizing a lot of my Trump-supporting friends and family don't know yet what's about to go down. If they start celebrating the horrible things that are about to happen, then I'll start cutting them off.

It's not so much about Trump supporters when it's more about Trump himself, plus his choices.

I used to work for HHS. This is embarrassing. I hope my former co-workers come out okay from this.
