I'm a conservative and have Christian values but I'm not a religious nut or a church goer.
I was responding to someone who was proud to be white and a man and married to a woman. Those are also natural characteristics.

Yes...that statistic, of the Political Party of those identifying as theologically "Christian" will change a lot in the coming years.
As the population becomes more Black & Hispanic/Latino it will move more toward Democrat/Christian as that is their typical Theological and Political Party persuasion.

I assume you meant "love" thy neighbor? Are these illegal aliens and bogus asylum seekers loving their neighbor Americans by stealing their jobs, taxes and resources and committing felony ID theft and or tax evasion? We love our neighbors by sending them billions of our tax dollars to help them out in their own countries but that's not enough unless we allow them to do the above to us?

Jesus said to obey the laws of the land and not take from others what doesn't belong to them and not to lie and steal. These so-called migrants are guilty of all of that. If you're ok with all of that then you're not a Christian.

I'm not a Republican (never have been a registered Republican either). I vote Republican though, because the Dems have lost their collective minds. They gone Way Off the Deep End.

I am a baptized Christian. Although I don't go to church or practice any religion at this point in my life - I just do the right thing as much as I can. Be a good neighbor. Don't harm others. Don't steal. Y'know, common sense stuff.

However I do absolutely 100% believe in a greater power other than mankind and our man made creations (government and Google) and I do agree with many of the principles of Christianity. There's a lot of good messaging there, along with many of the other religions on this planet.

Not one person in this entire world can determine that. It’s none of anyones call but God! It’s personal and none one single person is without sin … period.
