Is Mike Johnson a true christian ?

[Bitterhook]

Or is he jumping on a christian bandwagon to push his career.
He claims to fpllow the good book but it seems that he only follows aspects that appeal to him.
He is strong on gays but not so strong on starving people. He has spent the [ast , month trying to protect paedos in the e[stein files.
I cant detect any christian feeling in the man. He seems to be ,motivated by partisan interests rather than a love of God. Have I missed something ?

Mike Johnson voted for the Epstein bill - he’s now mad the Senate approved it

Ahead of the House vote to release the Epstein files, Johnson oozed confidence that the Senate would amend the bill

As far as his Christianity may be concerned, Speaker Johnson will be judged by God, not me and certainly not you. However, it may be more difficult for you to understand why that kind of judgement is part of what makes God Divine, by some people's beliefs and people like you little more that assholes.

Keep in mind that if I am correct, Christians understand that they are all sinners and will almost inevitably fall short of the Grace of God at times, thus they are underserving and that is why it is considered God's Grace.

But I am not a theologian nor a Christian so I could be wrong with the statements in that regard, but rest assured you are still an asshole though.

Then what was your point?

Singling out individuals to define an entire group isnwve a good point. Not representative of the whole.

 

[Stann]

Context, my friend. The OP questioned Johnson’s Christianity and the discussion has wandered into the area of so-called Christians behaving badly. Ergo, I pointed out the bad behavior of athiests.

Bigotry isn't an answer to anything

Your christians dont seem to be very christian. Johnson seems to be a fraud. If he does have any faith it isnt apparent.

Wrong. And who are you to judge other's faith anyway?

Bigotry isn't an answer to anything

To be a bigot, one only has to be intolerant of another's views, and to some degree everyone is a bigot. Thus, bigotry is not restricted to one side of an argument and will flow freely depending on anyone's intolerance of the views presented.

Bigotry is whenever you take one bad example of a group and insinuate that the entire group is that way. Which is an impossibility to begin with.

Well looks like he's religious or a good actor. Doesn't really matter , only to him and the religious god he supposedly believes in.

What group did I single out?

 

[Stann]

You just said you did so to counter hi

What group did I single out?

S argument. Then you used an example of the same. Type bigotry to combat it. That doesn't work.to begin with and it's just as bad.

No it isn't but thanks for explaining your perspective.

Did you miss the part where I said I’m an atheist?

The discussion veered into bad behavior by Christians so I asked Tommy why any of that matters if some atheists behave badly.

Tommy singled out a group that displays bad behavior so I chose a group that is ideologically diametrically opposed to that group that also displays bad behavior simply to make a point.

Any and all groups can exhibit bad behavior but the difference here is that I know this whereas Tommy and others here apparently don’t.

I have witnessed some of the most hateful, spiteful, petty and vindictive behavior from Democrats, liberals and people on the left in general over the last ten years and every one of them thinks they are more virtuous than Trump supporters.

Glad you clarified it as " some ' , that was a good point to make

And I see it as totally the opposite
trump and the republicans ( most ) are terrible
Attacking everyone at so.mamy different levels.

Look at the traits trump encourages in people , suspicion , judgment , hatred , greed , selfishness and attempting to promote a monoculture in one of the most diverse countries in the world . I believe that is what people are opposed to.

You just lectured me on broadbrush bigotry and then you criticise an entire group of people.

Irrelevant. The discussion is specifically about bad or questionable behavior by Christians.

Sorry you can't read and / or comprehend very well . I said most republicans , not all. You are incorrect in your assumption

You don’t have enough information to even say “most”. This is where you erred. If you had said “some” I would agree.

It's sad that you call yourself an atheist, and well it's because you seem to have a good sense about yourself so it really baffles the mind actually.
