    Not the part about giving away your riches or loving your neighbor though.

    He had no comments on “which” teachings though, I’m sure.

    I’m a Christian. I know I’m not supposed to make proclamations about this. But he doesn’t. He simply doesn’t.

      Back when I was a Christian (and still today) people like him are why I have such an issue with sola fide. How you act should be seen as a crucial element of your beliefs. And while there’s room for forgiveness for failure, what you really believe is found in the way you strive and struggle to behave.

      He’s just trying to sway voters last minute. The undecided Christian who sees trump, “well musk likes Jesus and he likes trump, I guess it’s ok.”

      The Supreme Court has made it clear that only congress can enforce who can or can’t run for president. Not even the states can choose who can run. So, if he wants to run for president and either the house or senate refuse to stop him… whelp, nothing that can be done about it.

        “The Supreme Court has made it clear that only congress can enforce who…”, while already fulfilling the Constitutional requirements to run for office, “…can or can’t run for president”

            *also, not except.

            the conservative SC can choose to interpret incorrectly what “office” legally means, but “natural-born citizen” has less legal wiggle room with respect to citizens not naturally born in the US vying for presidential candidacy.

    To some of the comments:

    When a black person does a bad thing, we never question their blackness. If an LGBTQ+ person does a bad thing, we never question their LGBTQ±ness. If a Muslim does a bad thing, we never question their Muslimness.

    If a Christian does a bad thing, they’re not a Christian. If they’re rich, we bring up the parts of the Bible about how the rich won’t get to heavens. If they’re hateful, we bring up Christ’s love. If they’re violent, we bring up the “other cheeck” line.

    We need to stop whitewashing Christianity, and realize the evil its capable of in the wrong hands. That’s how we got the dominionist cult into the most powerful country, and that’s how we got Putin, Orbán, etc., and will continue to get others if we dont change our outlook on things.

    He finally realized he was gonna die and its important that someone forgives him for the harm he has caused. Not his victims. That would be absurd. Just the invisible sky wizard.
