In reply to the discussion: I just had a conversation with a right-winger at acupuncture. [View all]LiberalLovinLug

I don't always agree with everything he rants on about, but I really enjoy his take downs of Trump and Republicans in general.
I just wanted to add though. Speaking as someone who grew up in an evangelical fundie house, but left that all behind, the whole point of the New Testament was, in part, a rejection of the Old Testament, or at least a new phase of the religion. Christianity came from his name "Christ", who preached a new way through him. It was now all about love and doing good to those that harm you, turn the other cheek etc...
Its not like these fake Christians are saying they follow ancient Judaism. If they call themselves "Christian" then they are supposed to be following Christ's teachings, not the old Testament laws.
