What kind of "Christian values" do Conservatives want?

Show me where I insulted your mother -- and your father for that matter. We'll wait, lil snowflake. You questioned my statement about "Chickenpox Parties" and I showed you that it's a thing. So you instantly deflected into some bullshit about your mother being insulted. She wasn't. You just made a fool of yourself. Something you have had a lot of practice doing.

Let's face it. You have a chip the size of Manhattan on your shoulder. That's why you are so quick to leap straight into outrage when you are proven wrong on an anonymous discussion board. We've all seen you do it, over and over again. That's why you feel the need to brag about your pop guns, your car(s), your other possessions. It's what insecure, unhappy, angry people do. If anything I feel sorry and embarrassed for you.

Now put me on ignore and we'll both be happy.

Putting RB on ignore certainly improved my state of mind. Now if others would stop quoting him, I'd be even better.

People who put True/Not True first, People like me, a member of The Rebellion since 9.10.15...we are immune to cults.

Where did you pick up this God awful "education" of yours?

Or perhaps "you've got it completely ass backwards and will never learn anything because you actually think you are the only one who is right." Which would mean that "talking to someone like you is a waste of time."

We don't talk about Christian values, you talk about them. We talk about feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and imprisoned. People like you have to turn everything into politics.

So, all the stuff that the Republicans deride as "socialism.

And I've been trying to tell you, it's a non-sequitur. Not all conservatives are Christians. Not all Christian's are conservative.

But conservatives do use Christianity as a support for their arguments. Even though true Christianity opposes many of their positions.

Dude, political parties are supported by those groups who best represent their political beliefs.

No doubt if the Muslims were the majority they'd support the conservative party.

The conservatives would have to go even more nutso if the Muslims were the majority.

Agreed. Over 40% of American Christian voters are Democrats.

If a Christian actually follows Christ, the Democrats are really his only choice. Not that they're perfect.

Tell me about "true Christianity", I'll bet you don't even know what "true Christianity" is. I'll bet you think Christianity is okay with abortion.

There are plenty of liberals who are religious, they just do not run their mouths about it, wear it on their sleeves, or try to impose it on other people.

I guarantee you that I have been more articulate, informed, and effective at defending the authentic Christian life and genuine Christian faith than almost any of the tobacco chewing rightwing bible thumpers here

You definitely appear to know more about their professed religion and its history than many.

When we lived in STL I was part of a group of activist ladies involved in various social justice causes. There were only three of us non-Christians in the group. Two were practicing Jews who regularly went to synagogue and celebrated religious occasions. I was the sole pagan. The ladies who were/are Christian were mostly Protestants. Once in a while we talked about how the (R)s have co-opted Christianity -- or tried to -- for a political weapon. It's a cherished myth of the RW that (D) voters are all atheists and do not own guns. If only they knew. lol

I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a realist, which puts me at odds with most around here.

The biggest problem that atheists have with religion is the obsession that the blind followers have with pushing their con game on those who have no desire to buy into their con.

We would all be better off if they just enjoyed their religion and churches and fellow Christians, and left the rest of us alone. But it seems to be the very basis of Christianity that adherents must proselytize others and push to "bring about god's kingdom here on Earth."

The Bible says nothing against abortion. The Christian opposition to abortion has nothing to do with biblical teachings, it's all apocryphal.
