It's actually very simple, we just disagree with you about what Christ considers to be abhorrent.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Many of us voted for national candidates with great reluctance. If we weigh many factors and try to consider the complexity of our reality we see that things and issues are not as simple as we might like them to be. I confess that I could never vote for Trump for many, many reasons. And yet I also could not vote for a party so radically fixated on abortion and gender issues gone off the rails.
What to do? I voted for people who had no chance of winning but at least more closely reflected my values. It eased my conscience. I have no regret. I do hope that those who voted for Trump are at least beginning to see the damage has done and continues to do.

Do you endorse and support everything Trump says and does?

No
Nordic think everything he does has an ulterior or evil motive.
Open thread on the subject and I’ll jump in.

But maybe it does mean that we are more responsible to hold them accountable when they betray our values .

That is the beauty of having personal opinions - they can differ.

I don't know. I'll defer to someone who's an expert at it--the current president.

That's a beautiful sentiment, but it comes at an amazingly high cost, because that freedom means that some people are going to have opinions that tear at the very core of your sense of right and wrong, nonetheless you're going to have to respect their right to hold them, because to do otherwise is to judge them for that which you also do.
'Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us'... that's a tough bugger to live up to.
