Just answer the question...

I will - after you either back up your false accusation with a direct quote, or admit you were wrong.

All CP has maintained is that BUTTIGEIG has not claimed to be a "practicing Christian" - which was YOUR initial claim.

I don't know if he's that stupid or that dishonest to turn it around like he is. I used to think he had at least some modicum of decency.

From a prior post....
================================================== ==

And yet:

You're not a stupid person, Tass.

Your anti-Christian bigotry causes you to say some really stupid stuff, then your insolent arrogant pride won't let you back down.

Your claim was that Buttigieg himself claimed to be a practicing Christian -- regardless of what "practicing Christian" means.

My argument was that the interpretation of scripture varies e.g. the likes of Buttigieg, as a practicing Christian, interprets scripture in such a way that homosexuality is OK with a loving God.

practicing Christian

practicing Christian but he does,...

practicing Christian

....Buttigieg claims to be a ...

You have failed to give even ONE example that Buttigieg said any such thing.

You're really not helping yourself with all your kabuki theater.

================================================== ==

And I hereby repent of my claim that Tassman is not a stupid person.

[Tassman]

On the basis of the data available to date: no.

Of course not. Someone with an Evangelical background does not usually acknowledge that a practicing homosexual man with a husband can be a REAL Christian.

[Tassman]

It is our business as Christians to police ourselves. Who else should?

It is not

And also YOU are the one who made the claim he is a "practicing Christian"

Exactly.

Also your article lays out quite well WHY Christians don't think Buttigeig is a practicing Christian

So why did CP, in full knowledge that Buttigieg was a practicing homosexual (having previously railed against it with links as being NOT Christian), say in #1147:

Kind of amusing to watch Tas fitfully flail about in futile attempt to distract attention away from the fact that there is scant evidence that supports his claim that Buttigieg regards himself as a "practicing Christian."

There are many reports that Buttigieg regards himself as a practicing Christian as he understands that to be. There may be no personal testimony about how he "discovered" Jesus as his savior, but that's more of an Evangelical thing. And he is not an Evangelical, he is an Episcopalian.

There are many reports of others considering Buttigieg to be a "practicing Christian" or saying that they think that he regards himself as being a "practicing Christian" but a severe dearth of any evidence that Buttigieg himself has ever made that assertion. If that wasn't the case you would have already posted such statements long ago rather than having commenced with all these attempts to deflect and distract attention away from the fact that you have failed to find such evidence.

[rogue06]

Btw, you should probably understand that evangelical and Episcopal are not mutually exclusive terms as you vainly contend. There are numerous evangelical Episcopalians out there.

[Sparko]

It is not

This has been dealt with ad nauseam.

Because you just keep repeating yourself, and then changing your story and claiming you actually argued something else when we can just go back and read your initial posts. The only ad nauseum here is from you.


So you admit you are an ignoramus who doesn't even understand what "practicing" means?

Exactly.

I thought so. Thanks for admitting how ignorant you are.

Wait, so you DO know what a PRACTICING homosexual is, but not a practicing Christian? That's rich!

[Cow Poke]

Of course not. Someone with an Evangelical background does not usually acknowledge that a practicing homosexual man with a husband can be a REAL Christian.

It seems that's the ONLY component of the problem on which you can focus your tiny little anti-Christian bigoted mind.

Which, to anybody with a brain, has been my point all along. The fact that he is openly homosexual is ONE component of the equation. I have been repeatedly asking for other factors to put in the "plus" column.

[Cow Poke]

There are many reports that Buttigieg regards himself as a practicing Christian as he understands that to be.

Yet you are incapable of producing even ONE statement from Buttigieg himself that he considers himself a "practicing Christian". And the articles to which link seem to have more indication that he is NOT than that he is.

I'm one of them.
