Oh, and feel free to use scripture to support your contention that Trump supporters are "unchristian".
Are Trump's policies wrong, logically/morally, or should I be voting against him because atheists think the God they don't believe in doesn't approve of him? Such a confusing argument...

Originally posted by LeaC View PostPersonally, I would never vote for Trump, but this claim to know who is or isn't unchristian when voting is distasteful. How is it any different from calling your opponents "evil" or "sinful"? IE, the complaint atheists make against Christians all the time on the grounds that it's a logical fallacy.

Or to make it more explicit: Deciding which people, or what behavior, is unchristian is none of your business, especially if you're not part of the Church. It's hardly even your business as an individual member of the Church.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostI think what really happened is that Christian conservatives finally got fed up with getting suckered by the establishment into selecting morally "acceptable" candidates who were easy for Democrats to beat and decided to go with the guy who actually had a real chance of winning. The establishment desperately wanted us to nominate Jeb or Kasich, and Hillary would have easily demolished them on the campaign trail, and they would have happily conceded on election night with a hearty congratulations to Hillary and a "Can't we all just get along?" speech.
No thank you.

But I think your general point that some of the bible's basic moral teachings (love for others etc) are pretty clear, and the current Trump/Republican party clearly doesn't conform to the Bible's basic moral teachings.
I see quite many Christians who are not that reluctant to tell me what Islam is all about and while I disagree with quite many of them"I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell

I'm pleased to say that the vast majority of WEP positions cited in that article seem perfectly sensible to me. Glad to see I'm on the right side.
On the general point that supporting Trump is inherently an "unchristian" thing to do -- I don't think I've yet seen anyone explain why the same would not be true for supporting the pseudo-Christian cultist Mitt Romney.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

Gotta love it when non-Christians tell Christians how they're supposed to act.
JimMy brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19
