You could, but you are only going to be considered “good” for one of them. Either good christian and terrible democrat, or terrible Christian and good democrat.

Given this, I say where is the upside to try to be Christian and democrat?

No. But I know many people who say they are Christian yet have voted for BJC and zero.

It makes you wonder... does the term “democrat” need to be refined or the the term “Christian”? /sarcasm

After they got committed, did they stay on their medication?

P.S. The Democratic Party is evil.

Obviously, yes.

I don’t know how believers can reconcile their faith in Christ with the policies of modern day Democrats, but many appear to approach from the perspective of worldly good works and worldly charity as a substitute for faith in Christ.

Absolutely. There is no way a Rational person can be a “Democrat” and call themselves a “Christian”. If they do, they are lying or psychopaths (totally dehumanized/irrational).

Christians can’t have a satanic worldview and promote the most vile, evil, dehumanizing acts on babies or others and support irrational, unnatural behaviors, which are caused by child-abuse/neglect and destroy the Natural Rights of babies not to be sold and removed from their biological parent. (With Natural Rights come Natural Duties, embedded in the Constitution, which can’t be removed by Man. (Whoops, they did that decades ago). Right to parent is a Natural Duty from God. The State “parents” now with their mandatory indoctrination centers and the help of satanists (TV).

Democrats possess a demonic (unchristian) Marxist worldview, where you can use other human beings as a “Means to an End’ for the “collective” good.

They actually shouldn’t call themselves American, either, since our “Individual Natural Rights are NEVER collective “rights” and they come only from God and NOT them. They have just been made so irrational by an evil Marxist brainwashing system (the socialist/Humanist John Dewey’s) They are totally ignorant (useful idiots of the State) who “feel” right and wrong now since they have been “conditioned” and can’t have a rational thought in their heads.

>>> Karl Marx thought religion was the realm of stupid people.

I disagree. I think Marx felt that [Christian] religious people were less susceptible to the idolatry of Communism. Basically, he hated the competition.

>>> If you were going to worship something, you were going to worship Marx and his government.

There was no “if” about it. Government under communism must be glorified. Failure to do so places one at risk. Government is the fount of all blessing, according to communist doctrine.

>>> That said: religion is the realm of stupid people. Look at how many people use religion to justify their Socialist/Communist ideology.

Poor logic. That some people use some religions to justify socialist/communist ideology does not justify a logical generalization to “religion is for stupid people.”

Then they will be held accountable [responsible] for helping to support and elect demoncRAT politicians into positions of power who then advocate for, endorse, support and engage in the murder of the unborn via proxy [legislation]...

Fair enough, based on the position stated.

“Do your Christian Democrat friends support their party’s platform of abortion on demand?’

Or the homosexual agenda?
Or the covetous social programs?
Or the fact that democratic officials are above the law?
Or the promulgation of sin within society?

Either they are not devout or they are not democrats

The ones accountable are those who make that choice, not those who believe that individuals are free to make good choices and bad ones.

It is more difficult for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than a man of the left to be a Christian.

Today's Democrat seeks to replace 'God' with 'Government'. Remember their convention when they sought to REMOVE God from their platform? There's NO possible way today's DemonRat can be Christian. NO WAY.

By supporting, endorsing and helping to elect those people, you are saying they are permitted/authorized to act in your behalf...they are YOUR REPRESENTATIVES. They REPRESENT YOU in everything they do.

Yes you can be a christian and a democrat just as you can be a satanist and a democrat ... or a satanist as a conservative.

Saying anything otherwise strikes me as false doctrine.

Legislators who make it possible for others to make those choices, good or bad, are not responsible for those bad choices.

YES!

Because any more, if you vote democrat, you have to be an absolute idiot, and The Lord, I believe, can give an idiot a pass if there is any hope for improvement.

But if you are a socially functional, over 35 year old person... Good luck

After all, 4 years ago on live TV, at the rat convention, they all very public all denied Christ in an epic, three times, Biblical fashion.

... And no rats walked out.

When Marx, living in Germany surrounded by Christians called religion "...the opiate of the masses" he didn't mean it?

Really?

Calling someone a junkie isn't usually done out of jealousy.



I guess not all religious people use their philosophy to justify their Marxism....but a lot do.

Catholic Church is now led by a Marxist...
