I am simply discerning truth from a lie in his statement. Forgetting the political argumentation - which is vain discussion in light of eternity anyway! And, no - I don’t thank him for this potty-mouthed tripe.

I posted a warning that the content was sexually explicit — as it must be in any adult discussion of the issues. If you proceeded to read the content after the warning, you self-selected yourself as an adult.

Speaking as a committed Christian, it’s this type of attitude that puts people off of even considering the possibility of examining a Christian life. You’ve made zero attempt at reaching this person where they live.
God isn’t going to knock a person out of their car on the way to work and speak to them. Most people look at how Christians conduct themselves in their lives and public discourse before considering the appropriateness of that in their lives.
Considering your job is to help bring people to Christ, vain political stuff like that is anything but vanity. As for the potty-mouth tripe, its a judgement call, isn’t it? I’m not sure either you are I are billeted for making judgements of any sort, since we are all unworthy from the get go.
Something to consider.
