If you are unaware of what was said, why are you criticizing her sermon?

Because she's a woman and god only speaks through men!

I am aware of what she said, and what I said was that she sounded pretty hateful on the news shows, and that you had become a real celebrity.

 

To which you responded: You heard what you wanted to hear, not what was said. You want to create a narrative that supports your bias. 

 

I think it's you that wants to create a narrative that supports your bias.

 

I am always amused at how the left generally has contempt for Christians and their point of view, and how they discount everything Christians say, but the moment the left can use a "Christian" to support their idiocy, they become a hero.

I would be best if  you first studied, or at least made an effort to understand the religions you criticize.  Appreciably, you are trying to get a rise out of rational people. Unfortunately, the quality of your sarcasm is rather poor and it falls flat, much like the hecklers at a Jimmy Carr show.

One day, should you open a bible and read the message of good news proclaimed in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, you will be surprised to learn that it is quite "progressive". It provides the origin of the altruistic and selfless actions of groups such as the Protestant Salvation Army and Samaritan's Purse, and the various Catholic religious orders dedicated to serving the  poor and the sick. One can be "conservative" and progressive. Look up the definitions of the two words and do not puke up the tired political slogans of the morally corrupt that debase their meaning.

Did someone at RawStory cherry-pick a few verses for you?

 

The pastor lives alone in a multimillion dollar six bedroom home in one of the nicest areas of DC.

 

Why does she not take in a few illegal allen families?

 

It’s the same with most all the rich leftists, they will benefit from the illegal aliens, but suffer none of the costs, of which there are many.

 

Hypocrites

Trump's response -- he calls her NASTY.

 

Yet he calls himself a Christian and Christians call him one of their own. I guess not putting his hand on a bible (two were offered by Melania) is kind of a hint.

 

Define "vulnerable"

You are quite inconsistent. You attack the Bishop for espousing her Christianity and for being too 'liberal", and then you criticize her for not housing undocumented people. She is a law abiding citizen.   The Bishop does not own the home she resides in. It is owned by the Church and she is accorded lodgings in the dwelling in her capacity as an administrative Bishop. The Bishop is responsible for 86 congregations and ten schools in the District of Columbia and four Maryland counties. Once she is no longer a Church bishop she will move out as the new bishop will move in.

 

The residential dwelling is used for Church activities as well as being a home to the Bishop, and her husband. She has two sons and their extended families. I would think it is normal that at age 65 her two boys have left home and established their own families. You seem  to have a rather disturbing jealousy of the woman's home life. Is it perhaps that you are envious of the healthy family life that she maintains, filled with the laugher of children and the joy of a loving family? it isn't too late for you to  learn from her example.

I don't need to study horror/fantasy novels to know it isn't real.

Those who believe in ghosts, fairies and other invisible beings are not rational people and should not be allowed public office, or even to speak in public. Let them say and do what they want in the privacy of their own homes, but keep it there.

Aren't you rather supportive of the present republican senators, congressmen and the cabinet members?

Ok. However, the fact of the matter is that your Mr. Trump went to a Church. A church is where the Christian gospel is preached. What did you  expect was going to happen, a cooking demonstration?

 

Your view is that Mr. Trump is "not a rational person and should not be allowed public office" because he has professed his view that he is a Christian and has been destined by providence to save America. Millions of US citizens share that view. I neither endorse the views of the Bishop, nor condemn them as her interpretation of the gospel can indeed be supported by the  gospel.

 

You were criticizing the Bishop for her views as a Christian. Considering Mr. Trump's endorsement of the faith, you are also criticizing him. Your inconsistency is gushing as a torrent now. I'll leave it to you to attack yourself now.

You are all over the place, trying with all your limited capabilities to find some negative that sticks. Alas, like the minions of  Satan, you fail when confronted by the might of the faith.

Trump doesn't believe, but he always says worshippers are welcome.

Unlike your foolish ms. Kamala.
