Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – christian conservatives living up to exactly what one expects

Carrie Sheffield, a conservative analyst, is “shocked” that christian conservatives don’t want to vote for a Hindu believer, Vivek Ramaswamy, as a presidential candidate.

Opinion: Christian conservatives betray their values in criticizing Ramaswamy’s faith
“It’s discouraging to see some of my fellow conservatives attacking rising GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy for his Hindu faith. It is wrong and un-American. It violates the spirit, if not the law, of the Constitution. And it could backfire on Christians as our share of the US population dwindles.”

Hmm, where has this terribly ignorant woman *been*? She’s supposedly a conservative christian herself, and now it’s dawning on her that her bigotted, ignorant religion and political party doesn’t like anyone who isn’t white and christian?

“It is also entirely counterproductive for those who claim to support traditional values and religious liberty. Ramaswamy is steadily climbing in Republican primary voter support, closing in on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in some polls and neck and neck with him in the betting markets. He is also one of the candidates best positioned to further major conservative Christian agenda items.

Conservatives claim to embrace originalist jurisprudence that holds faithfully to the letter of the Constitution and the Founders’ intent. Yet those who criticize Ramaswamy because of his religion are undermining this core American document, which clearly states: “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

Funny how those “traditional values” aka being sure that anyone who isn’t a christian deserves death and worse, makes the QOP less than attractive to anyone else. Adn funny how they are suddenly becoming aware of that “no religious test” clause.

“As a Christian, I don’t share Ramaswamy’s theology; however, he’s not running for pastor-in-chief.” And as commander in chief, he’d provide strong leadership for economic and cultural renewal.

For starters, Ramaswamy offers a compelling response to liberal critics who smear us as “Christian Nationalists” for supporting traditional values. “I’m an ardent defender of religious liberty,” Ramaswamy told the Associated Press. “I will be an even more vocal and unapologetic defender of it precisely because no one is going to accuse me of being a Christian nationalist.”

And Ramaswamy not only recognizes but honors America’s biblical underpinnings. “We are a nation founded on Judeo-Christian values,” Ramaswamy said Monday night during a town hall hosted by NewsNation. “Here’s what I can say with confidence: I share those same values. I believe I live by those values more so than many self-proclaimed Christian politicians.””

And gee, the lies of the US being based on the bible is just one more line of bullshit from Carrie, a Christian. Happily the founders explicitly ignored the bible when making our constitution, etc. Carrie seems to have forgotten the bits in the bible that say that anyone not worshipping this particular god deserve death and worse. Christians like her and her maga idiots want no religious liberty at all.

“America is currently a majority-Christian nation at 63%, but as more and more people leave Christianity and secularism rises, Jesus’ Golden Rule tells Christians they shouldn’t discriminate against non-Christians if they don’t want the same. As our numbers decrease, we need allies more than ever.

To my fellow Christians: Is your faith and salvation so weak that you think it’s diminished by supporting a non-Christian seeking secular office?  Jesus’ Great Commission, his final instructions before ascending into heaven, didn’t include tearing down a Hindu political candidate. Instead, they offered a much higher calling: to spread the Gospel to every nation.

Rather than attacking a Hindu politician who will protect Judeo-Christian values, Christian conservatives would better spend their time helping the faith grow. Right now, they are only overseeing its continued decline among the American people.”

And gee, yet more lies from Carrie, since jesus didn’t say what she claims, but rather said “²⁴ He said to the bystanders, “Take the pound from him and give it to the one who has ten pounds.”  ²⁵ (And they said to him, “Lord, he has ten pounds!”) ²⁶ “I tell you, to all those who have, more will be given; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. ²⁷ But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence.” Luke 19.

These Christians are the failed bullies now desperate for allies since they are losers, in every so many ways.
