He cited, as supposed evidence, the decline of national church attendance and the rise of LGBTQ youth — the fact, Johnson lamented, that “one-in-four high school students identifies as something other than straight.”

    Who gives a shit if 1 in 4 high schools identifies as something other than straight?

    How about focus on the actual commandments Jesus taught, which by the way, were: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” and “Love your neighbor as yourself”. FFS.

      In their mind they do. “Love the sinner, not the sin” is what they always say. They think them caring about the person being less gay is them “loving them”

      They use the first to bridge right into the things that overrule the second.

      Loving God means fearing Him, following all the commandments and heading the cautions of a reprobate nation and what happens. After all that fear and anger, there’s not as much room to hear about love in a meaningful, non-sublimate-y way.

      Some Christians make it work and genuinely care. They aren’t the noisiest and they aren’t what we see from Christian nationalists.

      I will say, caring means caring, regardless of the faith of the recipient. Jesus said nothing about faith testing the poor.
