Ignoring the millions of unborn babies who have been slaughtered in abortions, presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg suggested that true Christians would take care of their neighbor by supporting his environmental policies.
Buttigieg, a pro-abortion Democrat and the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, touted his Christian faith during a climate change town hall Wednesday, according to National Review.
Lets talk in language that is understood across the heartland about faith, he said. If you believe that God is watching as poison is being belched into the air of creation, and people are being harmed by it, countries are at risk of vanishing in low-lying areas, what do you suppose God thinks of that?
I bet he thinks its messed up, he continued. You dont have to be religious to see the moral dimensions of this because frankly every religious and non-religious moral tradition tells us that we have some responsibility of stewardship, some responsibility for taking care of whats around us, not to mention taking care of our neighbor. . . . At least one way of talking about this is that its a kind of sin.
So, not supporting his specific policies on the environment is a kind of sin but supporting abortion for any reason up to birth is not?
Buttigieg, like his fellow Democratic presidential candidates, has a radical pro-abortion platform that is vastly out of line with the faith he claims to follow. Christianity clearly condemns the killing of innocent human beings, and scripture recognizes the value of babies in the womb.
But, as mayor of South Bend, Buttigieg tried to stop a pregnancy resource center from opening down the street from an abortion facility. Then, earlier this year, he celebrated when an abortion chain that amassed dozens of health and safety violations opened a new location there.
He openly embraces the evil of abortion, while slamming pro-life Christians like Vice President Mike Pence as hypocrites.
In August, when asked about abortions in the third trimester, Buttigieg said he thinks they should be legal.
The bottom line is, as horrible as that choice is, that woman, that family, may seek spiritual guidance, they may seek medical guidance, but that decision isnt going to be made any better, medically or morally, because the government is dictating how that decision should be made, he said.
More than 60 million babies have been killed in America since Roe v. Wade. And many Democrat politicians want to expand abortion access, as if enough babies have not been killed already. If Buttigieg really cares about loving his neighbor and preserving the planet for future generations, he should start by defending protections for the unborn.
Romans 1 was written for yesterday, and for today.
It reads like a news commentary of our world, September 6th, 2019.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Thanks for that truth.
Unfortunately mayor Buttigieg has not read that far.
I always take morality advice from a homosexual.....
Sort of like a fall down drunk given me a lecture on smoking crack....
Someday a test will determine if a child will be born gay. What will Pete do once parents start using that as a reason to abort?
Those pics just nasty, glad I not had breakfast yet.
He’s still trying to bait high-level conservatives (starting with Pence) to ‘comment’ on his lifestyle. Gotta really piss him off that he hasn’t had any luck yet.
Is it illegal to execute criminals? How about Democrats? Both can be logically justified.
I am pro life at both ends of the spectrum and in between.
That being said, having already died, crossed to heaven and returned to this physical body, I choose death and reluctantly returned to earth.
There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever in my mind that this country is downright doomed, since a majority of the people continue to elect, re-elect, and re-re-elect adulterers, sodomites, and murderers as our leaders.
Every animal God has created spends every moment of their lives filling our atmosphere with CO2, so it seems God is cool with it.
Fudgepecker pete has all the answers.
Whoa. Something new under the sun . A FredocRAT who is opposed to government dictating medical decisions.
Yyyeahhh. Then explain to me again how it is that the environment after one of your friends' protests looks like a landfill but the grounds after a pro-life gathering is cleaner than before the event?
Pete, you ain’t the one I get moral guidance from as you have none.
Keep preaching Truth Bro!
We are living in the vile days of Noah & Lot.
Redemption is drawing near for those called by His Name, and Judgement for those who follow the ways of the world.
CNN did us a big favor by putting this circus on the air. The rats were forced to be on this thing and every one of them looked insane.
Ephesians 6:12-13 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground.”
I pray for those whose narcissism and lust for power over others blinds them to truth and wisdom, so that they fall into a place where neither truth nor wisdom cannot be found.
When such people gain power, many years of civilization can be lost through poverty, war and, yes, disease. Dictatorships never promote peace or anything else positive for humanity. Hollywood blacklists are yet another sign of the hedonistic class wanting their brand of dictatorship as punishment for those they hate. “Payday, someday,” as they say.
Okay, thanks for the tip, Mayor Piety.
Mayor Pete, shut the F up about Global Warming. Show me proof, about it...
The seventieth week is at the door. We will be leaving soon.
