No Christianity involved with these folks, despite self-claimed declarations. Teachings of Jesus, as historically documented, are the polar opposite of these 'christians' values and behaviours. These folks are grievance-driven, hard core fundamentalist, prosperity-gospel religious bigots who bastardize the 'faith' to suit their greedy ends. No humility, compassion or love thy neighbour exists. The hypocrisy and blasphemy floors me.The "Greater Than" campaign claims loving gay parents are the real threat to kids
Inside the evidence-free campaign to roll back marriage equality and revive Christian grievance politics
I've said this before, I know, but I'm never comfortable about deciding who is and who isn't a real Christian (an exercise that, historically, has tended to lead to one group of people who considered themselves, and were widely considered by others, to be real Christians torturing and executing other groups of people who equally sincerely considered themselves, and were widely considered by others. to be real Christians too).
Until Jesus returns and starts telling us otherwise, we're literally stuck with self-designation as the only way to accept who a Christian is.

Yes, but, Jesus told us whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. That doesn't translate, in any way, to classify, criticize, point out, attempt to educate, ostracize, work politically against, imprison, torture, maim, or kill. Someone sincerely following Christ's example and instruction will simply share, personally, and then let people live freely with their own decisions.
I worked on a documentary about the Neshoba County Murders (aka Mississippi Burning, but people in Neshoba county were not generally happy with the movie ("All the black people are either scared or singing.")). The Freedom Summer activists trying to secure voting rights used local churches to help organize. The Ku Klux Klan chapter that killed Chaney, Schwerner, and Goodman organized in a church, with the pastor in charge of planning. I have seen the best and worst of humanity come out of churches.
Shortly after Columbus returned for the first time from the Carribbean, a heated debate began in the Catholic church about the morality of slavery and colonial exploitation in the Americas, which was later carried on (rather more quietly) among English, Dutch and French protestants after they started colonising the new world, too.
Official records don't have him saying anything to which he could say something 'otherwise' to about same sex relations. At all. And given that he basically 'Fulfilled the Law' of the old testament (whatever the fuck that really means) and created a 'new covenant', which either does or doesn't supplant the prior covenant... I swear, the whole 'from a contradiction, anything follows' it's as if the bible were written to allow anyone to claim it supports *anything*. Including slavery and lynching.
Jesus "told" "us?"
The thing about official records is they don't tend to record all the important stuff, I guess.
I downed a couple of bottles of Boone's Farms once in my younger years. There was much speaking with Christ that night.
Seems you share the same opinion of Christianity with Donald Trump.

"Important stuff" being anything that might undermine or limit the abuse of power accumulated by taking leadership roles in perpetuating, modifying and tailoring a popular movement into something entirely self-serving for those at the top and their benefactors.... just sayin.
Yep, and if it was anything like the time I did it, lots of throwing up the next morning and a hell of a headache for a damn week.
