That article makes a point similar to mine -
christians are not very christian in their behavior or their beliefs.
Christians are, as a group, a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrits who want to use the govt to control everyones' life while whining about how the govt is controlling their life.
And christians will use any lie in support of their own, non-christian, desires. They don't like paying taxes, so they claim that Jesus opposed taxes. Even lying about God is OK for a christian if it helps them get what they want
Speaking of using anything to support your assertion...
Considering that only 56.8% of the US population actually turned up to vote in the last presidential election, which was actually considered a high turn-out...How many of those 132,618,580 people, most of whom voted for president Obama, would you consider "a bunch of sanctimonious Christian hypocrites who want to use the govt to control everyone's life"...?
Despite however many voters may actually be Christian...You certainly could not assert their general behavior as a GROUP based on those numbers...?
As far as the christians who voted for Obama, I suspect that most of them are sactimonious Christian hypocrits who want to use the govt to control everyone's life. The urge to control is strong, and is not limited to one side of the political spectrum
I would not use "christians who voted for Obama" as if it were representative of "christians, as a group". Basically, you're comparing apples (christians who voted for Obama) and oranges (all christians)
That's just bad logic
Wrong. I'm asking how many of those people are ACTUALLY Christians who want to use the government to control people's lives...? EITHER side of the aisle..?
Then if you take THIS NUMBER vs how many Christians there actually are in America...you do not come up with asserting that MOST Christians do ANYthing.
