Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostI think Trump's real and perceived failings have been overblown by his critics. It can't simply be that he made a mistake, or he's a hypocrite, or he has a different idea about how a president should conduct himself, or whatever. Rather, it has to be because "He's the evils!!!1!!1!" Case in point, the thread about his golfing habits. Rather than simply saying something uncontroversial like, "The man's a hypocrite," the lefties here are accusing him of breaking the law because he chooses to play golf at his own resorts, which is of course an absurd accusation. We spend so much time talking anti-Trumpers off the ledge that what Trump is actually doing seems to get lost in the noise, and then the next "crisis" rears its head, and the cycle repeats. There's no balance in any discussion dealing with Trump, and it's gotten tiresome.
The golf thread is not so bad, it highlights the schizophrenia within today's conservatism. Golfing habits of Democrats was denounced in the past.

Originally posted by Charles View PostIf that is the level of concern you have got for the people, including innocent children, suffering the consequences of inhuman policies and statements i think we are past the level of ethical naivete.

He's not here to learn about Jesus, Jim --- he's here to mock and attack Christians and Christianity. The very Christ who died for us.

I haven't been interacting with JimL at all for quite a while, Jim, but you and he keep pretty good company. And I don't have any disdain for him - I just think he's incredibly ill-informed and doesn't have anything of value to offer, which is why I don't respond to him, even though he's constantly trying to goad me.
You're not making any sense, Jim. "when they stand for the things Christ taught us" refers to whom? Charles and JimL?

And your claim not to have disdain for them is contradicted by nearly every post you make to them. So if you dont disdain them, you might want to inform whatever it is that does your typingLast edited by oxmixmudd; 01-04-2020, 11:47 PM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

My best friend's dad was an atheist, and one of the most "moral and decent" men I've ever known. He simply wasn't at war with God like some atheists are.

But I wonder how he got that idea? Could it be related to being mocked and laughed at by Christian's that claim they represent the love, grace, and mercy of Jesus Christ?
And your claim not to have disdain for them is contradicted by nearly every post you make to them.
And you might explain to your new BFF that atheists are INDEED at war with God, or they wouldn't be trying to remove every reminder of Him, like 10 Commandments, Crosses, "In God We Trust"....
You do believe ALL of the Word of God, don't you Jim?
So, you see what's happening here? You're defending your atheist friends against your Christian brother, and they're eating it up.
Which is why I'm going to allow you to have the last word on this, and no longer engage in a battle with you in front of the enemies of the Cross.

And if I thought there was even a SNOWBALL's CHANCE that you wanted to learn about Jesus, I'd be just as patient with you as I was with my Jewish atheist leftist lesbian friend, who actually brought her partner and her partner's mother to Church a few weeks ago!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
