He got elected.  And was running against Hillary Clinton.  And Bernie Sanders was a threat for a while.

Of course people are stupid.

I have a huge problem with the Christian/Trump connection.  I find it disgusting.  However, I also find that the word hate has become synonymous with the word disagree these days 

yea, you're probably right.  but also, in plenty of instances its actual hate.  hate directed towards muslims, hate directed towards homosexuals etc.  its not all well informed disagreement.

the story with the Afghan girls is unfortunate.  It's not a huge thing on it's own obviously, but indicative of the sorry state that we find ourselves.  I guess it's a matter of opinion but to me it's sad that we are making this insular turn.  It's extremely unlikely that those girls represent any kind of threat. 

MT, there are plenty of extremely vocal "Christians" who are very vocal social conservatives.  A lot of their bullshit is tough to connect with the teachings of Christ.   It's hateful.  Obviously "Christians" aren't a monolithic group .  But you should be able to understand how people who are not religious/non Christians see some of those people as absurdly hypocritical.  There's a valid discussion to be had here around this topic. 

Trumps stupid tweet this morning is making all kinds of noise.  It's fucking stupid and childish particularly coming from the POTUS.  I think this is a good example of a spot where people need to not make a big deal of of essentially nothing.  It don't see it as a endorsement of violence like some of these butt hurt nut jobs.  It's just dumb.  What else is new with this guy. 

 

Christians are hypocritical because people are hypocritical, and Christians happen to be people. I would wager that more often than not, the majority of Christians make an honest effort to try to be better people, since that is a lot of what the religion teaches.

It's upsetting to see the POTUS posting this. Yeah, I know, just another turd on the mountain of shit that is Donald Trump. But to see our president continually acting so childish is bothersome at the least.

Or they use it as blunt instrument to pretend they are morally superior to others.  I say that not to pick on Christians imo this this is a truth with all religions.  Just as it's true that all the major religions hypothetically teach what should result in better human beings.  

Christians are largest, loudest and most influential faith group in the US. That's why we're talking about them.

Many atheists like to pretend that because they're atheists they are intellectually superior.

I can do this too.

Thank goodness they don't strap up with explosives and go to concerts.

Yea, that's a problem that the Muslims have.  I'd say that's a pretty simplistic comparison though.

We could expand the list but since we already know it why beat a moral superiority drum, right?

I struggle to see how you ascertain how someone else feels. Unless they say "I hate you".

I think that often enough it's not that hard to connect the dots.  The language and actions are strong enough without needing a specific "I hate such and such". We'll disagree on that point I guess. 

[mtangelsfan]

You have used some negative terms towards Christians.  I am guessing you don't hate them even if you disagree with some of their beliefs

[Ordos]

I hate what politicians have done to this country.

CNN runs it 24/7, their ratings shoot up, and then they whine even more about Trump.

If it weren't for his trolling them, they'd be in the toilet.

So, they learned well from FoxNews and Obama?

Ha!

I don't know why, but the whole "Not My President" thing is just hysterical to me.  It was back when Obama was POTUS and it is today.  People are dumb.

Can't really blame them.  We voted them in.  They are a reflection of us.
