His words after he left the disabled woman at the side of the road:

"And when I got in my truck, you know, I was so proud, because I felt like I finally drew a line in the sand and stood up for what I believed."
Even though the woman in the accident had a disabled sticker on her car, he refused, claiming he didn't know till later, but his decision would be the same.

Why?

She had a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker?

Christian or dirt bag?

Where does the article say he's a Christian?

Precisely, however it does not comport with the test of love for God is love for your fellow man, and the test of any such "communication" is whether that communication produces something that reflects the concern for the well-being of others that is the foundation of our relationship with Christ.


WHY?

Because fundamentalit churches don't teach that.

I didn't see anything in the article saying it was Jesus who told him that. Can you point out a quote to me?

Ken Shupe, a 51-year-old from Travelers Rest, South Carolina, was very serious. “I’m a conservative Christian, I’ve just drawn a line in the sand,” he said. “I’m not going to associate or conduct business with them.”

Thank you. That was not in the original story posted. But the OP did make an assumption it was a Christian and was besmirching all Christians for it.

Do you believe that all Christians would do as this man did?
