Never Trump

GOP office in Delaware county, Indiana just had a pair of landscaping. Rocks thrown through their window.

This is after the attack on the N.C. one.


Two terrible candidates and what do the American people do? Divide themselves even more.

Instead of taking this beautiful chance to unite and demand something better. Smh.

Evangelicals. Aside from their general wacko craziness, they also seem to think that the word Christian means only born-again, speaking-in-tongues, faith-healing, megachurch-attending, f*g-hating people like themselves. So you hear gems like "Oh, he's not Christian, he's Catholic."

Hi. I think this is a rather unfair characterization of Evangelical Christians. Unfortunately, there are far too many people who call themselves Christian's that do act like that. It's wrong. As Christians, we have to be better about condemning these practices of hating/mistreating any group based on race, gender, sexuality preference, etc etc.
 
Saying that Christian's committed/caused the Holocaust is like saying that all Muslim's are terrorists.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer is a pretty good example of a Christian in Nazi Germany.

It's fair to say that Christian leaders had been calling for and committing similar heinous acts against Jews for centuries in Europe. It's fair to say that they created and perpetrated the antisemitism that culminated in the Holocaust.

Again, it goes back to whether those that call themselves Christian's really are, but I do agree that far too many Christians committed actions against Jews, and other ethnicities. I think saying that Christian's committed the Holocaust is a pretty big stretch.

Germany is part of the Christian world, especially leading up to and during WWII. I'm quite sure the vast majority of Germans identified as Christians. You want to tell them they were not Christian, ok, but they were. And they went along with the Holocaust.

You're a Christian if you call yourself Christian. There is no "real" Christian, just like there is no "real" Muslim. Self-declaration is the criterion for admittance into the club.
