Originally posted by Chrawnus View PostLutheranism (Even Confessional Lutheranism) is not a form of "Evangelical Christianity", atleast not in the way "Evangelical" is usually defined. But I'm not assuming that every Christian who differs from my form of Christianity is not a real Christian, or even non-committal in their beliefs. Committed Catholics and Orthodox believers would certainly differ from "my form of Evangelical Christianity" for example, but I would still not discount their opinion on this issue. My assumption is simply that the majority of Christians in the US, irrespective of denomination, are non-committal.“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

I would love for Tassman to list the "practices" that "practicing Christian Buttigieg" actually practices.
(Though, you may have noted that he's morphed "practicing Christian" into "committed Christian".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
