……...The Left wants to change the way culture sees Christianity. We see it on several fronts. The Left wants to divide the church about what is right and wrong. The United Methodists are ready to split on the issue of same-sex "marriage." There's a push among a small but loud faction of liberal voices that declare themselves "exvangelicals," who resist the church's stance of LGBT issues and abortion but want to retain and redefine what it means to be a Christian in 2019.
In redefining Christianity, they want to shift the emphasis from a changed life to doing what they define as societal good. Presidential candidate Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) of South Bend, Ind. is attempting to put a new spin on the "old time religion." Kirsten Powers writes, "Does the country need an awakening of the Christian left? Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg thinks so." In Buttigieg's understanding of the Christian faith, since Jesus never specifically mentioned abortion, we shouldn't spend so much time on it.

Today’s Challenge:
Can anybody give one single example of the Left getting involved in something that has resulted in a positive outcome?

One thing that Communists/democrats/Liberals and Islamists have in common is that they are all Godless Heathens. They embrace the absence of morality, standards of decency, and personal responsibility.
Fact.

In Buttigieg's understanding of the Christian faith, since Jesus never specifically mentioned abortion, we shouldn't spend so much time on it. I see where this is going!
Jesus never mentioned homosexuality, either...therefore...we should not spend so much time on it.

Well, the invention of the printing press gave us the reformation and Protestantism. The internet is changing it even more, but in very good ways, as happened with the reformation.
Knowledge and communication is power. The Christian message is being purified. That is a good thing.

They’re not doing too badly in changing it. The Pope is crazy and I hear a lot of leftist politics and environmental and feminist propaganda from the alter. May stop going.

Christianity is full of leaders more interested in the collection plate than spreading the Gospel.
