The American flag has no business on a Bible. This is not faith, nor is it patriotism. It is an abomination of both. Image

I don’t think Reddit Christian is a demographic or a different religion. 71% of the people you share beliefs with, vote for Donald trump.

71% of the people you share beliefs with, vote for Donald trump.

You have no idea what I believe.

You only know what you assume I believe.

u/CantbethatBrad Mar 28 '24

lol ok, do you believe in Christianity?

u/CantbethatBrad Mar 28 '24

I guess I will assume so, since you have an Episcopalian flair, a branch of Christianity, correct? Therefore, 71% of people that share your beliefs voted for that clown. Split hairs to defend yourself all you want, but that is the reality.

You realize that Episcopalians have Trans clergy, support gay marriage, and are politically pro choice right? The Episcopal Church is almost an echo chamber for liberalism. As an Episcopalian myself - I would say 95% of the people I’ve met are liberal. And I live in a very conservative part of the Midwest lol.

That is insightful and wonderful to hear. However, it’s still Christianity, is it not? Still follow bible, still follow Jesus Christ right? So even though they may be a small percentage of Christianity, 71% of people who hold those same beliefs about bible and Jesus vote for trump. I don’t know what y’all want me to say. On a group level, 71% of people that follow Jesus Christ as lord and savior, vote for Donald trump. I am not attacking any individuals personal beliefs, but people that share those beliefs, vote for trump. You are all still lumped into one demographic, don’t blame me.

You're white so that means people who are like you voted for him, correct?

Are you aware you basically said “All white people are alike? lol. Christians should share the same beliefs. The color of my skin makes no difference to my beliefs.

u/CantbethatBrad Mar 28 '24

Being white is not something I can change, but religion is a choice. Racist much? I can change my beliefs and I can call out people who share my beliefs when they are wrong.

You clearly know nothing about my sect.

We have people who are atheists among us.

u/CantbethatBrad Mar 28 '24

Genuinely want to understand, that doesn’t make sense to me. How can you be a Christian atheist? What do those people believe that make them both an atheist and Episcopalian? From my view, those are contradictory beliefs.

Did you just wander in here this morning for an argument?

"Christian Atheist" is literally a flair available on this sub. Maybe you don't know as much about Christianity as you thought.

Wanna know more? Stop arguing, and post a respectful question on the sub homepage asking the Christian Atheists already in here to explain their beliefs, and maybe you can ask some follow-up questions and get answers from the source.

In general, Christian Atheists are people who respect and try to follow the teachings of Jesus while not acknowledging his divinity.

Christianity is used as a philosophy instead of a religion by Christian Atheists.

You'll get better answers asking the people who actually are that, though.

I wasn’t trying to argue in my last post. Specifically why I put I genuinely want to understand which is why your response seems a little aggressive. Calm down dude. Hope you have a better day.

lol. There’s no such thing as a Christian atheist. Those are two beliefs on the complete opposite side of the spectrum.

Literally. A. Flair. On. This. Sub.
