Christians and Trump--two perspectives

[Timothy]

That should be "deflect" not " reflect " .

[Cow Poke]

You're just now catching that?

I tried to give him a fair shake.

[Timothy]

It's a dishonest question -- that's why both of us saw it as "have you stopped beating your wife". It's a loaded question to advance your own agenda and 'win' an illegitimate argument.

It's not a dishonest question. It's a question that should be easy to answer if someone is being honest. I'll ask again, and you can reflect again:
Should Christians support immorality?

[Timothy]

You're just now catching that?

No, I'm just heartbroken that so many Christians are putting their Faith in Donald Trump.
It makes me snarky. Nothing to worry about.

The wink at the end should have been a clue that I was joking with you.



Well, I don't NEED to know that, but if you say so!



Need a safe space?



Why, because now you're going to falsely accuse me of being a racist? Water off a duck's back.

The wink at the end should have been a clue that I was joking with you. I guess you didn't see it because you were distracted by all of your friends chanting "send her back".

Nice Christian bashing brother.

You need to know that I'm neither communist nor liberal.

Well, I don't NEED to know that, but if you say so!

But all Trumpys can do is accuse decent people of being liberal commies.

Need a safe space?

I'm also not pink, I am actually brown skinned but I hesitate to mention that to someone like you. 😉

You shouldn't. You should return to your pinko commie liberal base and tell them that your efforts on Tweb have failed.

I have a hard time believing that many evangelical Trump voters do not actually support him because there has been zero attempt to put forth an alternative in the primaries (there are a few primary candidates so far, but none who would be appealing to evangelicals). When I previously brought this up, the line has been that it is not normal for incumbents to be primaried, however, no less a person than Ronald Reagan challenged an incumbent president in the primaries.

In any event, state GOPs are starting to cancel their primaries to protect Trump anyway.

I would love to have another Reagan.

Since no trump follower has ever listened to reason, why should I bother?

Think about this before you vote next year: Are you a Trump follower or not? Then vote accordingly, knowing that God is watching.

[Cow Poke]

If I could persuade one Trumpy to return to Jesus Christ, wouldn't it be worth all of this?

I'm not accusing "the brethren".

I'm a Christian, are you? If you are, then we're "brethren". You act more like we're enemies with your false accusations.

If someone wants to support Trump, that's their business.

You're hung up on this "support Trump" thing, as if voting for him 4 years ago indicates "I still support him today". It's pretty childish.

Jesus said a person can't follow two masters.

Sounds like you're following Satan in your attack on the brethren.

The brethren follow Christ.

You might want to read up on what He said about loving the brethren.

Trump is not Christ.

No foolin!

If think truly don't follow Trump, then I'm not talking about you.

Then, maybe, stop being such a self-righteous judgmental false accuser.

But if that really is true, why are you arguing with me?

A) It's a slow day
2) You're fairly literate
C) I always find you "blast everybody else in Jesus' name" "Christians" entertaining.

Not that I'm not enjoying this argument.😆

It's getting old pretty quickly.

[Timothy]

Nope - just an observation that you sound just like him --

Ad hominem, short for argumentum ad hominem, typically refers to a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

I have not been ignoring your argument at all -- just becoming more and more convinced that you're only here to do battle -- which is what JimL is all about.
