Christians don't support Democrats or Republicans, they support God.

The funny part is that Jesus never been talked about abortion or homosexuality

Jesus never talked about abortion or homosexuality because they weren't known, political issues in those days. The political religious right made them issues in these days.

Homosexuality was not known in Jesus' time? Absolutely false. Homosexuality was well-known in ancient Greece, and there are passages in the Bible, including in the Torah, that that have been interpreted as being about homosexuality. Jesus (or more specifically, the writers of the Gospels) certainly could have addressed the issue directly if he/ they wanted to. Apparently, he/they did not.

Abortion also was known and practiced/attempted in ancient times. Ancient Greek physicians wrote about abortion. But it's not mentioned or in anyway referred to in the Gospels.

DP Jesus told the woman caught in adultery to go, and sin no more. Jesus would have said the same thing to a homosexual. Both homosexuality and adultery were sins which called for the death penalty by stoning to death.

Not before 1947 when old whiteys rewrote the bible

As an atheist for ICE, I have nothing to worry about.

Anyone pro-ICE is an atheist. You’re just a rare breed who doesn’t bother to dress your bigotry, hatred and ignorance up in religious trappings, for which I am actually grateful to you, and for which I actually admire you. You’re just out here being a dirtbag, not a Dirtbag for Christ.

Pretty sure abortion and homosexuality have always existed. He’s God if it was that important to him he would have talked about it

I see you OP. Any topic just to get politics into the recent topic section. LAME.

Many appalling campaigns have been undertaken throughout western history in the name of Christianity.
A few choice examples -
Crusades
The Inquisition
The support of the slave trade
Oh, and that thing that happened to Galileo

Christians need to get off their high horse when picking and choosing their cause celebre.

??? Every atheist I know is NOT pro-ICE. In fact I don't know anyone who is pro-ice.

Well yes but when Christians see injustice and hate, they stand against it. Hence, standing against ICE. I agree that being against ICE isn't about supporting Democrats or Replublicans - it is about supporting humans and protecting them from harm / evil. I would 100% feel the exact same way about ICE and their attitude and actions regardless of politicial affiliation.

+1. Seriously! But those Southern Baptists seem to be all in on ICE. A lot of them were all in on Hitler too, back in the day. You’ll never catch those clowns standing up for justice or anything good.

They may call themselves “Christian,” but they are not a Christian. They don’t believe in or serve God if they support these atrocities. They simply use the label “Christian” as a way to try to excuse their bigotry and all the other horrible qualities and beliefs they possess.

Slavery has always existed and still exists today in very large numbers. Christians were among the first to end it at significant scale.

Universities and modern science are a result of the Christian church.

The crusades were a response to Muslim colonization and conquest.

Educate yourself.

The one who needs an education is you.

You can’t really claim Christians ended slavery without mentioning that Christians started and sustained the transatlantic slave trade for centuries using the Bible as their primary legal defense. If it takes 1,800 years for a religion to decide ‘maybe kidnapping people is bad,’ that’s not exactly a moral head start. Abolition happened because of a shift toward secular humanism and Enlightenment values that forced the Church to finally change its mind.

The Church didn’t 'invent' science. It preserved some Greek and Roman texts, while it also occasionally burned or banned them. And let’s not forget the Islamic Golden Age, which gave us algebra, optics, and the foundations of modern medicine while Europe was still in the Dark Ages. If the Church was so pro-science, why did it take until 1992 for them to officially admit Galileo was right about the Earth moving?

While the First Crusade was indeed framed as a response to the Byzantine Emperor’s plea for help against Seljuk advances, the subsequent centuries of Crusades involved complex political ambitions, the horrific sack of Christian Constantinople (1204), and the persecution of Jewish communities in Europe. To frame them solely as a defensive response overlooks the territorial and papal power struggles that fueled the era.

You can now count yourself as having been schooled.

It's not "politics" now

These are trying times for the country

If Christians don't discuss this, what are we here for?

I know you are MAGA. You got by on a thin veneer of respectability given to you because American Christians were too unused to strife to call you out before.

Or some of their closest Christian friends were into MAGA, and they didn't want to rock the boat.

It's too late. What you stand for is laid bare. "Immigration is such a civilization ending problem, its okay to strip away citizens rights to end that problem"

No. Need to worry. We will know who you are now.

Those who stay silent, like business as usual while the rest of us grieve. They are the ones who are okay with this reality.
