Approximately 88% of congress identifies as Christian. Does that mean we need to get rid of most Democrats & Biden too since they are Christians who discriminate against LGBTQ+ people?
You are making a false equivalency between “being Christian” and “being a bigot”. While there is a high correlation, particularly with some denominations of Christianity, they are not synonymous. (Heck, I’ve seen some religious groups at my local Pride celebrations for years.)
Ask them if they believe the Bible and even the New Testament to be the word of God. If they say yes, then they are either liars or not true followers of their religion.
When your ‘proof’ for them hating queer folk only applies to politicians who dont lie to their constituents, im gonna have to call that out. You find me one politician that doesn’t lie and we’ll test your hypothesis on them.
Expecting Christians to follow a given text to the letter will always be setting yourself up for failure. Not only do people pick and choose the doctrine they follow (or more often have it picked and chosen for them by their spiritual leader), different traditions have different emphasis and even different texts they’re operating off of. Expecting an legalistic following of a specific interpretation will leave you expecting far different behavior that most of your observations will show.
Exactly… Democrats & Republicans both enable the very same organizations that promote anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes. They’ve allowed cults to take over America.

Presumably you’re aware of this.

Somebody’s in their edgelord atheist phase.

Where in the bible does it say homosexuality is a sin? It doesn’t which is why some religious folk are cool with LGBT.

Yes, but people aren’t ready for that talk

It’s too bad that being a xtian, like being a con, is over-represented in our Congress.
