After decades of being subjected to Jerry Falwell Sr., Jerry Falwell, Jr., Pat Robertson, Jim Bakker, Franklin Graham, George W. Bush, Mike Pence, and Sarah & Mike Huckabee, et al., its adorable that some people think Americans still regard Christian as a synonym for honest.

I have, however, met many Christians who walk the walk and needn't announce to the world their religious underpinnings. Talk is cheap. Judge a person on their actions, not their words.

(1,670 posts)It's wrong to stereotype, but earlier commenters are correct. Christian == Llar, crook.

(12 posts)One of the biggest problems in this country is the media do not stand together. When the President, his press secretary, etc. are at the podium and lie, the media heads just move on to the next question instead of following up the lie given to the previous person. A recent example of working together was when Weijia Jiang stood up to him, then Kaitlan Collins and Yamiche Alcindor yielded to allow continued followup when Trump was doing his butthole schtick.

Take it from me as one who has cross-examined a lot of "Christians". Christians lie more than lawyers do.

(3,765 posts)advertise that they are Christian. It makes me uncomfortable because I feel like they are using their religion to try to convince me that they are honest. Or maybe they aren't even Christians and are just using religion to convince Christians to do business with them.
I do laugh at some of their advertising though. I had to laugh about a pawn shop named "Believers Pawn Shop". Really, you expect me to believe that that means you are honest?

(1,260 posts)I know plenty of good Christians. I guess I should have said that the ones, like Ms. McInane, who flaunt it the most are most likely to cavort with the moneylenders in the temple.

(23,926 posts)Christians are not a particularly favored subgroup at DU, but long ago I said, "Fuck it".
I will just keep working to further Democratic ideals and candidates, while continuing to accept Christ as my savior.

(33,414 posts)Hey, Matt, what you got about this?
Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name? And then will I declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
That old Timothy feller must've met some Republicans.
