10 Signs You're Actually Following TRUMPianity Instead of CHRISTianity

I waste a lot of time on my Facebook addiction and have 300+ friends after maybe 9 years of it. friends, neighbors, church people, car people, liberals, conservatives, Zappa fans, people where i grew up and went to school with, and so on.

The ill informed OUTRIGHT PREJUDICE against libs/dems can be utterly preposterous. What they believe about "us" is outrageous and untrue. Here's some of their "conventional wisdom" I see on my wall when I post my provocative meme's and links;

Dems support illegal immigration because those illegals will vote Democratic once they're in

Planned Parenthood aborts babies for profit by chopping them up and selling the body parts

In the last election, Dems rigged voting machines, destroyed paper ballots, cast votes on blank ballots, registered non-citizens to vote and ignore overseas military ballots.

Republics care for the unborn child and Democrats DO NOT.

Shouldn't Planned Parenthood do something else besides abortions - like provide for women's health and birth control?

Dems want the death penalty only for unborn children, but not rapists, murderers and other serious criminality.

global climate change is some kind of plot by Dems and humans are absolutely not responsible for it. It's just normal.

And on and on.

Feel free to list the PREJUDICES you all may have encountered about us evil rotten godless bastard Democrats that only want whats wrong for America and want us all to fail and suffer.

My response to Christians who spout those talking points is to ask about whether they support fully funded preschool and public schools. Do they support low cost access to quality health care. Do they support helping low income parents rise out of poverty by allowing them to continue receiving government benefits even if they are working.

If their answers are no, I then tell them they are pro birth, not pro life. Even when having philosophical debates about this issue, I have never had anyone continue to argue their point. As the first response to your post stated, they just fade away.

Since it's premeditated, it should be murder 1, so maybe execute them? And since 60% of women who have abortions already have kids, what do we do with the orphans?

I get crickets.

It is also ridiculous that the people who are so against abortion also seem to be against birth control.

They say: "Planned Parenthood aborts babies for profit by chopping them up and selling the body parts "

Actually, I'm a PP supporter, and I only cut up fully-grown rethuglicans, not babies. The priests cut up the babies.
