Does character matter to evangelicals any more?

[candycorn]

No doubt evangelicals have become a major force in politics. Their rise to power was fueled by groups like the Moral Majority and their insistence that character matters. Jimmy Carter was said to be unfit for the presidency because one of his interviews was published in Playboy magazine. Clinton's affair with an intern was seen as a personal affront to all that is good. With Trump, character doesn't seem to matter. Evangelicals are even proud of his lapses in honesty claiming that God is using a flawed man to do his will. Does character still matter, or does it just not matter for trump?

It never did.

Organized religion has to be the biggest scam ever foisted on humankind.

As a ******, I suspect you have a problem discerning fact from fiction. You probably think you're a woman and still have not idea what a woman is.

dude - i am a born & raised heterosexual female.

Source?

better yet - you source when they did b4 1976.

Dudette, you don't even know what a female is. I get that it's confusing to trans beings like you, but really, it's not that difficult.

I thought so.

Yeah, but what is a female to a progressive?

I thought so.

i don't think you have a single one.

who cares - i am all for a smaller less intrusive gov'ment ... kinda like what the (R) preach but never reach.

if someone isn't committing a crime, then i care not how they live their life. i am quite content in my sexuality ... but those that feel threatened & may question themselves deep down - post memes like yours.

I think you couldn't find a source.

So, let the states decide and keep the federal gov't out of it?

I question the sanity of progressives.

You brought up lobbying. So far, you haven't proved anything about lobbying congress.

I'm asking you for your opinion.

The elected one to you.

no individual state should have control over whether a female has a right to her autonomy.

The elected one to you.

elected yes.

but the chosen one to you.

No state/government should have the right to take human life without due process. If you can tell me where the unborn can commit a crime heinous enough to their right to life, I would have to agree.

Hell, if you can tell me what a woman is, I'll give your brownie points.

the state isn't supposed to be involved. only a female & a qualified medical professional should be.

If you can tell me where the unborn can commit a crime heinous enough to their right to life, I would have to agree.

forcing to gestate to full term & give birth - sometimes by being cut open to deliever is a heinous crime.

Hell, if you can tell me what a woman is, I'll give your brownie points.

i don't care one way or the other what someone wants to think they are or be called because feeling icky should not force another person into what you want them to be.

A near term baby is different, but an early term zygote can't be considered as a person. It is life, and it is human, but it is not sentient. It has no thoughts or feelings. It has no perception of self or the world around it. The sensory and reasoning parts required for that aren't even developed yet, and won't be for a while. We can discuss later term development or situations where a late term abortion might be required, but calling a small clump of cells a person is absurd.
