Mayor Pete Attacks Trump's Faith...

[Sparko]

I interpret this to be Tassman admitting he is an idiot.


My interpretation is just as valid as anyone else's.

[Cow Poke]

I didn't say it did.

So you were just farting ignorance again.

[Cow Poke]

Buttigieg is the Democrats' flavour of the month. Just don't ask what he stands for



This is an interesting article that appears to lay out a case for Mayor Pete promoting himself, doing and saying whatever he needs to do and say to be liked.





But he's publicly gay, so that get's Tassman's stamp of approval!

Pence also broadly has a reputation for being solid on morality. Trump joked that Pence "wants to hang the gays" awhile back. I don't believe that of course but I bring it up as evidence that people associate hin with that issue.

Uh no, I was questioning your

[Cow Poke]

Uh no, I was questioning your

It was a QUESTION, Drama Queen - "So, tell me, what makes him a better authority on the Bible than anybody else?" Note the funny little mark at the end of the sentence.

And I note that in your typically dishonest way you snipped the relevant part of the argument,

And I note your typical Drama Queenery in falsely accusing me of dishonesty for responding to the portions to which I wish to respond.

And I asked a question, goofus - I did NOT make an accusation - I asked, again, "So, tell me, what makes him a better authority on the Bible than anybody else?"

I asked you a QUESTION, Drama Queen.

Answer: because you are dishonest.

Only a DRAMA QUEEN would fall to pieces over a question, turning it into a "false accusation".

Gotta love these Drama Queens who can't even handle a simple question.

If it was an answer you wanted, reverend, why did you snip the one I gave?

I allow myself to think that even those who claim to take the Bible on its' word will need to go for something a bit different when it comes to certain parts of the Bible:

It is the usual "mess" that in some cases context helps them find a way out. Other things clearly relate to the culture, history or whatever in their interpretation. When and where this applies is something they cannot give a convincing account of. It changes through history though they claim to believe in an everlasting truth. I am so much more convinced by those who are a bit more hesitant before they judge others in or out. Seems to be so much more in the spirit of what Jesus said as well (depending on the interpretation of course :-))

He might have such a reputation but does not deserve it. The person who refuses to be alone in a room with a woman who is not his wife is ok with separating children from their parents. He remains silent in the face of the evil and the lies. He is definitely not solid on morality. He might have been once.

We have been "separating children from parents" every time we arrest someone and especially when we send them to jail.

And never forget that it was the Obamessiah who not only separated children from parents but started putting them in cages but the left didn't care a whit about that. So enough with your crocodile tears of fake indignation.

Could you please explain why this shows Pence right?

He should not be held accountable because others did the same? How is that not relativism? Let's see if you can answer the question without relying on relativism and personal attacks on me (who by the way never supported Obama).

Yes, it is the interpretation of scripture that makes the difference, e.g. the Southern Baptists once interpreted scripture in such a way as to justify slavery, renouncing it officially only in 1995.

And the likes of Buttigieg, as a practicing Christian, interpret scripture in such a way that homosexuality is OK with a loving God, just as the likes of the former slavery justifying SBC proclaim the very opposite.

You made an ignorant statement - that Mayor Pete's interpretation of scripture was different. So, do you actually have a point? Different doesn't mean correct or better or right or true.

Interesting input from a gay black conservative Republican Christian...

That's a rather skewed representation of his position regarding "the Billy Graham rule". Those of us who subscribe to this practice don't "refuse" to be alone in a room with a woman not our wives, but make reasonable attempts not to. It's also an over simplification that it's about "not being in the same room" -- I am often "in the same room" with a woman not my wife, but with safeguards like my secretary being in an adjacent room within earshot, or some other practical arrangement.
