Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is bringing back the holier-than-thou snake-oil act again, selling to voters in Iowa the idea that if they elect him president, he'll govern like Jesus.
According to the Washington Examiner:
Pete Buttigieg said he plans to bring Christian values back to the White House and ensure that religion will not be used to divide the American people.
Speaking at a campaign stop in Iowa on Monday, the 2020 presidential candidate said, "But I’m also offering to people who are guided by a faith tradition in making their decisions about what they think is right and wrong.Referencing the words of Jesus according to Matthew 25:35-40, the South Bend mayor continued, "When I’m president you’ll never have to look at the White House and scratch your head and think, 'Whatever happened to, "I was hungry and you fed me. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. Whatever you’ve done to the least of these, you have done to me"?'"
So nobody was Christian until Buttigieg came along, it seems. Nobody knew much about 'right and wrong.' Never mind that America has a tradition of not wearing one's religion on one's sleeve. Pete's put that one to bed again.
And never mind that every president so far has been at least nominally Christian. Even Obama, who's almost certainly an atheist, paid lip service to Christianity by going to church services, at least when he was in political hot water. President Trump, who's been embraced by Evangelicals and got a majority of the Catholic vote, too, has certainly been seen at church services, along with much of his family. But now only Pete's the one who will embody true Christian values, the rest don't measure up.

Hey, Pete - How does your stand on abortion square with the scripture you quoted? Seems like the unborn qualify as “the least of these”
Galatians 5:19-23
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Since Jesus chose not to become a political leader and force His will on man in that manner, I would suggest a man trying to emulate Him should do the same.
Even more, it says he has been given over to God's wrath.
Jesus didn’t judge his fellow man because he had no standards of conduct. Everything was fair game, even money-changing in the Temple and cult prostitution. And the Pharisees ... boy did he dig them! Salt of the earth and all that.
I’ve had enough of the condescending attitudes from these “Progressive s”.
will Pete admit he is a sinner?
God is not a government employee.
Powder puff Pete citing religion for his views is comical
It’s amazing how insane this crop of Democrats are
the only one even somewhat rational is Tulsi Gabbard she doesn’t stand a chance
“When” your President Peter?
You aren’t ever going to be President Petey, and you know it.
You’re being propped up on order to condition the electorate so they will be more acceptable to a queer preezy in the future...
This deceiver didn’t appear out of thin air, he is helped and furthered by the same wicked types who unleashed the Bartendress on the world.
James 4:4
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
That would include homo’s
He’s an admitted fag and married to a guy. He has the audacity to even mention the Bible? Sounds more like a worshipper of Satan to me.
JEER THE QUEER.

Thank you. I believe this article deserves its own thread. With your permission I will post it in the RELIGION section of FR.
Jesus didn’t govern. But he WILL govern when he returns. Today God looks upon the sins of non-Christians and knows that many are ignorant and so has mercy. But when he returns everyone will know what sin is and how to overcome it. Those who don’t...well...it won’t be like today. It won’t be tolerated.
Before Pete attempts to move the speck out of our eyes, he needs to remove the log out of... well you know where.
Buttgeek the Sodomite has not Christian values to bring. Repent, Pete, while you still can!
