RE: Franklin, Tennessee Mayoral Election
Preaching God and morality is now White Supremacy? I guess that Black dude that was in the revival is a Black and White Supremacist. It's obvious what the agenda of that news station is. They're trying to paint anyone that is pro-God as an evil person that is against what the school systems have been trying to promote in this and other cities/towns. I saw nothing wrong in what they were espousing, nothing.
Like someone said, the new thinking is, "go along to get along" even if it's demonic. They showed books in the segment and I guess they're of the thinking that EVERY book is suitable for minors to read, it's not. If it was then there wouldn't have been age requirements to purchase Playbook and Larry Flynts trashy mags, now they want them in school libraries. If they want to have them in libraries then let them knock themselves out at the college level libraries. No one would raise a stink at all. Age appropriate should be the new morality because they don't agree with the old morality which stood tall in the olden days, which was the right one.

RE: Franklin, Tennessee Mayoral Election
I want to support her, but I don’t trust her. I hate to say it but there’s Christians who appeal to the Right who often have a warped teaching of the Gospel themselves. She strikes me as “very all for show” or “all about me”. They call it wolves in sheep’s clothing. They take advantage of people who want genuineness. They call it ‘Christian Nationalism’ but the truth is Christian Nationalism is often people who aren’t Christians masquerading as genuine Christians & then pervert the Christian calling when they get power.
I give Trump a pass on his appeal to the Christian Right even tho he himself isn't a Christian because he doesn’t pretend to be a Christian, I think she is & that’s even worse.
How hard is it to find a decent man in this TN election that can beat whoever the Progressive candidate is????
How the news station presents the story is even worse tho. Tell me you're Progressive without telling me you're progressive.

My ex Brother-in-Law was involved in some deep financial crimes against a major US corporation. He was also the same guy that always talked about God and his faith. Agreeing with you that hypocrites are hypocrites, but those that invoke the Lord in their misdeeds deserve a really "special" place in Hell. +3

RE: Franklin, Tennessee Mayoral Election
I had a former client who belonged to a Houston megachurch and really made a public show of his religion. His office had a small chapel on one side, complete with stained glass and the biggest (and probably most expensive) Bible I have ever seen. One of his sons was a minor Chrisrian music recording artist (which caused the occasional awkward moment because the son was gay, but those are stories for another time).
Anyhow, he wanted me to put together a deal to try to screw a prominent Houston real estate mogul out of some primo property. I didn't want to do the deal, and had no intention of doing it,. but he was determined, and I was trying to talk him out of it. First I pointed out the illegality. He replied, "But you're a smart lawyer, you can figure out how to make it legal." Then I pointed out that the other guy had plenty of smart lawyers who could figure the deal out and put a stop to it. "But you're smarter than they are, you can figure out how to put it past them." Finally I appealed to his Christian morality. "But it's okay because he's Jewish." I walked out and never looked back. First client I ever fired.

no question about it ... those that hide behind the cloth for personal gain are the worst of the worst in nonviolent terms...

RE: Franklin, Tennessee Mayoral Election
The Christian Left isn't wrong: there's a lot of evil people on the Right who try to appeal to us.....like the RINOS who campaign on the social issues we like then vote in lockstep w/ the Left on them.
Thanks ODU
Not surprising Owl. I bet if you looked at his megachurch, they pick & choose what to teach

Its no secret how much I am against the wolves in sheeps clothing in modern Christianity, but your take to me was a very "modern republican" take.
"We have to cut out own to pieces and spit them out because they might now be pure enough."
I would say remember this person was running for mayor, not head minister of the church.
To get my vote, a politician does not need to be a purist on the gospel and the Bible. That would be ideal but few politicians are ever going to be that. I'll take the person who just stands firmly on the same basic principles in government as me even if they are a womanizer narcissist like Trump.

RE: Franklin, Tennessee Mayoral Election
This is the game the progressives play, they force their climate, social, sexual and global religion on everyone, its quite literally forced on you and you are bullied into compliance or pay the price. But if you dare to espouse a Biblical world view, then YOU are forcing you religion on others and that is worse than Hitler.
Hypocrisy is just not a big enough word sometimes.

I understand where you are coming from: If we voted just based on who preached the Gospel right, there would be no one to vote for, the profession of politician just doesn't attract decent people, it just doesn't & it never has

Exactly.
Politics by nature seems to eliminate the possibility almost entirely.
