It's starting!!! Ok not faithless but still something. Also who was it that was saying they were voting for Trump because of Christian values?

[Fiye]

Really he's just passing the task on someone else. Essentially since he's not enabling it he's not guilty of letting it happen. The only people I know who were voting for Trump as a christian were mosting voting for Mike Pence. Thats not to say people who voted for McMullan (OR whatever the hell his name is).

Like my chief is more than excited about trump. But his picks were Scott Walker > Ted Cruz > Gary Johnson > McMullan (Final).

"I do not see how Donald Trump is biblically qualified to serve in the office of the presidency," he said in his Saturday post. "Of the hundreds of angry messages that I have received, not one has made a convincing case from Scripture otherwise. If Trump is not qualified and my role, both morally and historically, as an elected official is to vote my conscience, then I cannot and will not vote for Donald Trump for president."

The fuck is this shit? The Bible doesn't have anything to do with whether or not someone if qualified for POTUS.

To religious conservatives, it has everything to do with it. They want someone who is going to push their ideals of the bible.

This is exactly why my mother voted for Trump. For several months prior, her Facebook posts consisted mostly of rationalizations of voting Trump, since Pence was on the ticket and Hillary wanted to rip babies from wombs. And they can always pray for God to change Trump's heart!

Yeah, that stuck out when I read the article too.

People are fucking dumb.

My mother voted for Trump because she never does research and believes everything her co-workers tell her. Wish i had a list of links that can show what the passed 8 years consisted of in government, but that would require reading/time so probably a waste of time.

It's funny, every time she says something to the likes of "Obama kept shutting down the government" and i respond that it was republicans holding the government hostage, she would chuckle. Makes me want to set my phone on fire and since flag burning is now going to be a thing again, wrap the phone with a garrison flag and set it on fire.

I'm sure it matters to plenty of religious moderates/liberals too, they might just emphasize different things like helping the poor or whatever. Religion can be used to justify whatever you want it to. I'm kinda surprised so many of you guys are still annoyed by people doing it, it's been a thing forever and it's never going to go away. I'm not from a Christian family and even I'm used to it.

[dasva]

Well in the end choices like this are based on your values. If your values are based on a religion then yeah they'd play a big part on these decisions

[Spicyryan]

People are fucking dumb.

Of course they are, and we saw the proof 21 days ago.

But, what I don't understand is how everyone reads the same book and somehow comes to a different conclusion about someone who clearly doesn't represent said book. Not that the answer isn't "ppldumb" again though.

Did you tell your mother that Trump's description of "ripping babies from the womb in the 9th month" is commonly referred to as birth?

Another random political story, Texas is at it again trying to get rid of abortion. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...ted-or-buried/

After months of fierce opposition from abortion rights advocates and the medical community, Texas will require fetal remains to be cremated or buried instead of disposed in sanitary landfills.

So looks like another end run to shut down places like planned parenthood by adding an additional cost burden to them.

[Salodin]

...They want 2-4month old fetuses to be cremated? They do realize that in that timeframe the fetus is MAYBE the size of a fist, but probably smaller than a couple inches long. Could probably cremate the fetus with a freaking hookah pipe at that size.

There is something to say about fierce tenacity.

There also is something to say about disgusting ignorance that you push on others, however. Wish these nuts would just give it a break already and stop acting like a heart beat is being stomped on in their faces.
