Church is a great cover for criminal activity. Partly because Christians can be susceptible to being too trusting of a brother or sister. Churches are not subject to much regulation and are often operated by laypeople.

American Christianity is a strange beast as it has always gravitated towards the spectacular, the emotional, and the fanciful.

Delenda who?

Roy is just the least bad option. And I have no joy saying that.

The author has never said a good word about anyone or any action of the Religious Right, as he calls them, in over 27 years.

Why should anyone believe him?

Because he hasn't said anything good about the religious right, which means he's a pretty good judge of character.

So I’ll ask again, why should anyone believe someone who is one sided.

Says he knows Roy Moore, has he met with him? Had conversations or interviews or is just talking about his observations.

Balmer's stands on the convictions and history of his faith.
Roy Moore does not.

Apparently, you did not read the Balmer's editorial as he recounted two encounters with Roy Moore.

Because maybe they are on the side of truth and decency.

I don't know. Why should we believe you? Or do you deny being one sided?

I am well aware that many "Christians" will vote for Roy Moore even if he were caught with his hands down a 14 year old's pants as long as he's against the gays and abortion.

Did you think the coverage of Hurricane Maria devastating Puerto Rico was "one sided"?

I mean sure, everyone always talks about the death and destruction, but how about all the good things Maria did?

 

[ThatRobGuy]

But that was before it was made apparent the extent to which the dems had gotten in bed with islamic theocrats.

What do you mean by "in bed with Islamic theocrats"?

I wonder if you have anything to quantify that because any time I've heard that accusation from people in the past, it's a case where people conflate "no long giving Christianity special preference over other religions" with "the government must be favoring those religions over Christianity"

As it currently stands, I can't think of a single policy, proposed by democrats, that shows any special favoritism to Islam over any other religion.

...revealed for the fraud he is: Moore misrepresents American, Evangelical and Baptist values.

"The Republican Senate nominee has fashioned an entire career out of subterfuge and self-misrepresentation — as a constitutional authority, as a Baptist and as a spokesman for evangelical values. The recent allegations of sexual misconduct, together with his many specious statements over the years — that the First Amendment guarantees religious freedom only for Christians, for example, or that many communities in the United States stagger under the burden of Islamic sharia law — underscore both his hypocrisy and his tenuous grasp of reality."
- Randall Balmer, Historian and author of several books on Evangelicals

Perspective | I know Roy Moore. He’s always been a con artist.

Hmmm. Like most of us it looks like there are those that like him and hate him.

Why should anyone believe him?

To balance this out, shall we go to an equally partisan right source?

But, but, he's a BAPTIST! He must be telling the truth!

 

[Almost there]

Do you have any reason to believe he is being mendacious other then his lack of praise for the religious right?

Is there any reason I should believe a single word he wrote?

I seldom watch the news, I don’t have cable tv.

And I believe there is a difference between a natural disaster and a political commentary.

Pssst He is Episcopalian, an Ordained minister.

So, he just SAID he's baptist. Hmmmm...

 

[hislegacy]

Validity has to do with accuracy IMO, how do you maintain accuracy without balance and how can you have balance being single sided on an issue.

 

[hislegacy]

Are you speaking of the author of the article or Moore?

The author is an ordained minister. I have read a number of his articles.
