    I'm not sure how this addresses what I posted.
    Tassman's claim is that Buttigieg, indeed, said those exact words.
    I'm not seeing that in the examples you cited, though they could uncharitably be interpreted that way.
    Buttigieg says precious little about his "faith" --- just about everything concerning his "faith" comes from others who never seem to be able to quote him directly. Just like Buttigieg never seems to have made any reference to the scriptures dealing with homosexuality - he just simply ignores them - despite Tassman's repeated claims that Buttigieg "interprets those scriptures differently".

    It is the media and the left that proclaim Buttigieg's "Christianity" and his "faith", not he himself. The only reason Buttigieg's "faith" came up at all was to attack Pence's faith, despite Buttigieg's own claim that he doens't judge others.
    The referenced post here not only defines what Tassman means by "practising Christian" but also references Buttigieg himself talking about his faith.

    Now I need a shower.

      • OBP is certainly entitled to his opinion. The point is, in fact, Buttigieg never said those exact words or anything like them. It's the media and the "interviewers" and his admirers who attribute those words to him, and boast of his faith. His "Christian testimony" is almost entirely second hand.

        The very fact that you - an anti-Christian bigot - are singing his praises says far more about his choices regarding sexual orientation than it does his spiritual orientation.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          What Buttigieg said was very much like as that term is generally understood.

            A) You mean what people SAID he said.
            2) What he's actually doing - living a lifestyle of homosexuality and advocating for abortion at any point in the pregnancy - is NOT very much like "practicing Christian" as that term is generally understood.

              There's the rub. There really is a dearth of evidence to show that Buttigieg has ever made that claim himself. It all seems to come from how others describe him.

                It's simply the left and the media (I repeat myself) trying to solve the liberals' God Problem. They pitched God to the curb in their 2012 Party Platform, and now they want Him back on their own terms.

                  • And in ZERO of those quotes did he ever claim to be a "practicing Christian".

                    So Buttigieg belongs (that hasn't been proven, actually - he "more or less" identifies with the Episcopal church) to an organization that pretty much believes anything goes, and whose national leadership openly mocked God, the trinity, and pretty much all things Christians hold dear, doesn't believe prayer is worth his time, and Buttigieg himself advocates for abortion at any stage of pregnancy.

                    No wonder you love him.

                      • Actually, I've been quite consistent. You have never ONCE demonstrated that Buttigieg, himself, claimed to be a "practicing Christian" - regardless of how that's interpreted.

                        We've long established that the ONLY reason Buttigieg's "Christianity" is acceptable by you is that he's a practicing homosexual, which supports my allegation that you are nothing more than an anti-Christian pro-homosexual bigot.

                        • So, not only does Buttigieg use his incredibly thin veil of Christianity to attack the faith of Trump and Pence, he's now using his "war record" to attack candidates who have not served (and totally ignoring some who did)...

                            At least Buttigieg has a military record. I guess he was just incredibly lucky not to have bone spurs in his foot to prevent him serving his country.

                              ...if you consider mindless repetition to be consistency.

                              • Of course - there are the Bible verses which are too unseemly to acknowledge - John 14:21, 23; 1 Cor 2:9 and a few others.
                                1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.
