Michelle Obama says she can “feel the difference” since the election. She claims that with her husband leaving the White House the nation is entering a “period of hopelessness.” With the election of Donald Trump, the Left in general is reacting in unhinged ways, with one news outlet claiming, “The Left has lost its collective mind.”
Ironically, the Left is attacking Trump for the actions that they indulged in to the extreme over the past 8 years. They are doing a lot of “projection” –– a term psychologists use to describe the practice of attributing to others your own flaws.
For the past 8 years, Americans have seen unprecedented attacks on religious liberty and other basic freedoms through politically correctness and growing intolerance of anything conservative. The Left, according to the Daily Mail, has called people racist and stoked racial unrest, including riots in major cities. Now, the Left is ramping up those arguments saying Trump and Conservatives will engage in exactly those actions – racism and intolerance for anyone who doesn’t agree politically or religiously. They’ve added homophobia and created an atmosphere of fear for the vulnerable.
The left, who used every possible means at their disposal to curtail religious liberty (believers must bake cakes or take pictures at LGBT “weddings,” etc.), project onto Conservatives the tactics that they employed when they were in power. They appear to have no comprehension of the fear many Americans felt under President Obama’s threats to “fundamentally transform America.” They were very happy to lump Evangelical Christians into a “basket of deplorables.” In their eyes, it was perfectly legitimate to portray mainstream Evangelicals as “alt-right” to be feared and hated because of their “extremism” and punished for living out their faith in everyday life.

Even with those 3 added, it’s not a very long list.
“Christians must . . . conscientiously object to hatred, division, racism, and sexism as unashamedly as we claim Christ.
Those terms, including "Christ" have been redefined. While, as a Christian, I'm opposed to 'hatred', opposing homosexuality because it is sinful is defined as 'hatred' by the Christian left. Critical biblical thinking is critically important today.
Been having this conversation alot lately for the last few years.
Sorry. I don’t believe a person can be a Christian and hard left. The hard left supports just about every sin found in the Bible and a few that are not. No Christian can repeatedly endorse gross immorality.
Catholic. Baptist. Doesn’t matter. If you cheer sin, there is something very wrong.
Sadly, you are correct.
Welcome to the American Church.
How often do they actually go to church?
I’ll figure something out.
Their primary goal seems to be the same one as the Communists and secular Leftists everywhere - produce Heaven on Earth through the efforts of mankind, and ignore the real Work of God.
They are pagans at best - or more realistically satanists.
You likely echo the immediate thought of every conservative reading this.
You'll find that leftist "Christians," if you catechize them even briefly, believe very few of the essential doctrines of Christianity, and NONE of the main ones - the unique deity of Christ as a member of the Godhead, His sinless life, His miraculous works, His resurrection from the dead to an eternal glorified life, His virgin birth, etc. Many so-called professors even doubt his actual existence and are content to play into the "myth" of Jesus. Some are even outright atheists altogether; the rest being practical atheists.
I'd more call them idolaters than pagans. They take the image of the things of God and construct idols in their own images, like the golden calf of newly-liberated Israel.
You need to get out more.
ARP ordains women deacons, but not as elders.
AARP?
Do they get good supplemental health insurance through medicare?
:>)
Association of Reformed Presbyterians???
Phoebe is the one exception to the rule, but it should be acknowledged.
I see it carried on in some of our more ancient churches....nuns, for example. Early Lutherans had something similar, iirc.
No, I don’t think I need to get out more. I think people need to be more discerning about being a Christian.
My thoughts exactly when I read the headline.
AARP? They get a great discount on British Airways!
Associate Reformed Presbyterian. Small denomination with churches primarily in the Southeast and Pakistan.
Ever hear of Erskine College and Seminary? ARP!
Projection is yuge in political circles. The GOP, whenever they are down, blame their party’s Christians and whites.
One would have to be unhinged to listen to the left and then say they are for equality and diversity. They hate normal men, Christians, Jews and whites.
They exist. Believe me.
the remaining maternal side of my family(of which I am the eldest, by five years) consists of 11 females, and two males, one still in school...except for my sister, who is largey apolitical, they are snarling left wing zealots, who tolerate me only because I am of their flesh...
any familial distribution so heavly skewed to females is going to be distinctly leftist; and the cultural obsession with female empowerment ensures a bleak future for our progeny...
I get it a lot when I argue with Catholics
I kinda thought the Catholic bashers would hop on this thread, and derail it to vent their venom...and right on cue...
