But it always blows my mind to see Republicans go on and on about how they’re the “party for Christian values”

What are Christian values?

Don't steal, don't kill? The golden rule? = universal values.

Don't be gay? = Christian churches range from gay bishops to criminalization.

What are Christian values? Or Muslim values? Can't see them.
