He complained about taxation and government overstepping and inability to combat crime. I asked him if he believed in the truth of the teachings of Jesus and he, of course, said yes. So I reminded him about the cheek turning and the log in the eye as well as the do unto others and asked if he thought those concepts were relevant. He, the Christian, said those didn't apply when it came to gun ownership or abortion rights. I asked him what scripture he looks to for those issues. He had no answers that he could hook to the new testament. He left kinda defeated and " no damned sale" either. His type of religio-fascist is really pretty easy to confuse since they've never seriously considered the whys and wherefores of Christian living in any personal context.
