Notification Request

Can someone please let me know the minute a self-avowed "Christian" Republican votes for a bill that feeds the hungry, shelters the homeless, clothes the needy, or cares for the sick and dying?

Thanks in advance ...

Just playin'.

Fact is that if such a thing happened, I'd know about it as soon as I logged-in to DU - greeted by multiple LBN threads labelled "Hell just froze over - entire nation stunned."

They identify with the Pharisees and Sadducees instead of the character of Jesus. They only believe in "boot straps" and "I got mine, fuck you". I wouldn't hold my breath.

Leviticus 19:33-34 ESV / 325 helpful votes
“When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

They are NOT Christians and we must call them out. The right has completely lost the high ground with Christianity.
It is heresy and they are destroying Christianity.
Call them on it every chance you get.
