A plausible explanation MM. I rescind my remark regarding what it reveals about your attitude towards democrats.
However, I took firstfloor's remark more as a general criticism of the moral decay we see in America today, which I think can be fairly laid at least partially at the feet of both sides of our political debates - though I think it more generally representative of the abandonment of faith in God and respect for what is good and right.
And, yeah, I know -- the Republicans are dirty rotten politicians, but at least they are not rushing headlong toward Sodom and Gomorrah.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Now I recognize such a broad statement can not possibly be fair or true across all of any group. But there is a sufficiently strong trend that it is a problem that should not be ignored and needs to be dealt with.Last edited by oxmixmudd; 10-19-2021, 08:41 AM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

I don't know which is worse CP, embracing atheistic thought about God or marrying Christ directly to gross immorality of the non-sexual kind. See, what is really odd about the conservative side of Evangelical Christian faith is the sexual morality is the single most important kind of morality, and things like kindness, character, grace, mercy, care for the poor, denying self, eschewing riches and wealth, humility over pride, these are almost despised as the province of 'liberal' Christians. So much so that they can embrace and overtly support people in politics (and even in ministry) that actively mock those things in their lives, policies, and words. Yet, as I read the new testament, sexual morality is the thing Jesus tended to talk about the least, and these other things, these things evangelicals sort of ignore with a wink and a nod, they were at the core of Christ's message on this earth. It's very confusing to me, and very troubling.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

To help you understand the connection MM. CP's post characterizes the Democratic party as for he most part abandoning God, while the republican party at least appears to embrace some sort of outward acceptance of God and the morality taught in scripture. My post points out that the apparent attempts to embrace biblical morality in the Republican party and its acceptance by the evangelical church concerns only sexual moralities (abortion/LBGTQ+ issues) and completely abandons the core morality taught by Christ - which is the righteousness in matters of wealth and care for the poor, integrity, kindness, love, mercy and grace. These things are completely abandoned by the Republican party, and to the extent of their embrace of figures so clearly hostile to what Christ taught on those issues, the evangelical Church.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

That's not a rhetorical question. I really do wonder why.
And old Joe has been doing his level best to be exactly like what ox describes Trump as having been like. It's almost like someone said "Nobody will ever be as bad as Trump" and the duffer responded, "Hold my prune juice."

So what immoral activity in the Democratic party are evangelicals supporting?
