The video was not fake. but what they made of it was.
There's no difference. If there is, feel free to explain it. What I printed in my post was what he said in the video. You're backpedaling now and avoiding your own earlier claim that people who claim to be Christians but then say things directly opposed to the basics of Christianity are fake Christians. You're claiming that the video is different from what I printed but it is not. That's why you're not able to show any difference.

That's what people who vowed from the start of his presidency that they would do anything--whatever it takes--to get him out of office have said. You can appreciate, therefore, why the claims that he has lied 7,238 times or similar absurdities are not taken seriously by anyone with an open mind.

The valid claims of his lies are not taken seriously because you choose to either deny or somehow skew. Whether people "vowed" to get him out of office or not he has proven himself to be exactly what many anticipated...very much including his incessant lying.

I would agree that perhaps some of the myriad contentions of outright lies may by looking at them individually be simply false by virtue of ignorance or misspeaks. However, the continual flow of falsehoods would have a reasoned "open" mind to conclude what is clearly evident as to the veracity of his statements, claims, and rhetoric in general. So that his claims of "fake news" about Ms. Daniels payment, Trunbull phone call, voter fraud, military raises, China calls, Mueller firing, etc., etc., etc. would also justify questioning most anything he states....

Then it should be quite easy to post a source for your claim. If you look through the threads here you will find many Christians who do not support trump's rhetoric and behavior...calling it hate is simply to excuse the obvious.

A Christian Case Against Donald Trump
the Christians who do not support trump are misinformed.

Misinformed about what exactly? Misinformed that his rhetoric and behavior are antithetical to Christianity? ...Consider this, Christians who support trump have abdicated their ability to pass any moral judgements.

I see that you are offering, as a source for your claim, a single editorial written by a professor who says this about himself:

"For many years, I’ve also been a speaker for the Kentucky Humanities Council, and I contribute to a blog for Psychology Today, “Ethics for Everyone.” And I’ve recently started a Facebook page dedicated to discussing issues related to my forthcoming book with Eerdmans, entitled God and Guns in America: God and Guns in America"

No surprises there, huh? :sigh:

Number 24 in the trump/sanders playbook (Attack the messenger)...what that he wrote did you disagree with exactly? Are you of the mind that all Christians support trump? I'll wait for you to support the claim that most anti-trumpers are Atheists...?

The Christians who support Trump are misinformed. To them, I suggest reading the Bible, especially the part about taking the Lord's name in vain.

Make up some more things that I'm supposed to defend although I have never asserted them? Maybe this will be fun.

Well, you were answering to a post based on the contention that most trump "haters" are Atheists, were you not? Since you chose to question Austin's piece then it should "be fun" for you to actually address the points raised rather then to simply dismiss, shouldn't it?

In that post of mine, did I mention atheists or quote something that referred to atheists and a claim that most of them are Trump haters? If not, then I did not offer any opinion on that.

So what exactly were you responding to in your post? If it was Austin's piece then still waiting for you to address his points... or is this simply your entrenched Number 24 and inability to respond beyond rhetorical dancing?

You were wrong. Let it go at that.

I should have not expected anything more... typical attribute of trumplicans. Interesting, at least to me, that in perusing "General Theology" we are so much in agreement (as with Mt. 16:18) yet worlds away with Trumpism.... gone!

This thread is closed. There are many problems.
First, there are posts making complaints about the site and complaining to mods . That violates this rule:

Disruptive Behavior, Campaigning, Staff Disciplinary Action
To maintain the peace and harmony on CF you must refrain from doing the following on the public forums:in

  • Making posts that speak of any Staff action either with you or another member (including any bans, warnings, or editing or removal of posts)
  • Complaining about another members posts/threads, Christian Forums or it's Staff
  • Spite reports - e.g. reporting in retaliation, multiple reports on a member using opposing arguments but are not violations, or repeatedly reporting a member in harassment.
  • Attempting to undermine these rules or policies via campaigns, petitions, or protests is not allowed
If you feel the need to discuss another members behavior, or have a issue about CF, it's staff or policies, please make a Ticket in Support and discuss it in private with our Admins and Advisors.


Second, there is a problem of flaming. Calling people "haters" or implying real Christians vote for ____ (fill the blank) is violating the flaming rule, which is this:
Flaming and Goading
  • Please treat all members with respect and courtesy through civil dialogue.
  • Do not personally attack (insult, belittle, mock, ridicule) other members or groups of members on CF. Address only the content of the post and not the poster.
  • NO Goading. This includes images, cartoons, smileys or post ratings which are clearly meant to goad. Quoting and then editing another members post to change the original meaning, commonly referred to as "fixed it for you" (FIFY), is considered goading.
  • "Calling out" a member is an unsolicited comment about another member in reference to something they may have said, their personal beliefs, their signature, or their avatar (challenging the member in a negative manner). This applies to any thread, whether the called out member is participating in that thread or not. Do not quote, or make comments about another member, in your signature or user title.
  • Offensive derogatory nicknames and egregious inflammatory comments about public figures may be considered goading.
  • Stating or implying that another Christian member, or group of members, are not Christian is not allowed.
  • If you are flamed, do not respond in-kind. Alert staff to the situation by utilizing the report button.
Please review the site rules and the Statement of Purpose for the forums you are posting in. Avoid name-calling and making implications about each other.
