-— Well, I’ve been a Southern Baptist all my life -—

Do you believe that Christians need forgiveness?

How do you feel about a candidate who literally waves a Bible around in an Evangelical state, but makes no mention of religion in a liberal state?

I believe what I have said. Christians are not sinless, they are just forgiven. But, there are specific instances where God does direct his anger. The money changers in the Temple is one of the more notable examples.

Doing secular business in the name of God harms the church. That isn't waving a Bible, that is entirely more sinister. Claiming that you have a patent on God and claiming that you are doing God's work for your own personal, secular pursuits is being a 'money changer' in the temple.

And, as if that claim is not bad enough, if you are hypocritical in your methods, you are bringing great dishonor upon the church.

I will note that I see your attempt at deflection. I am simply not going to bite. My focus is the man who is running a shoddy campaign while claiming to be a modern day Joshua.
