Trump said "If you don't love our religion...then we don't want you in our country," but his sentiment could apply to American citizens as w
People now have an opportunity to worry about two major, yet somewhat separated, concerns that have dominated Trump’s political campaign over the last two weeks. These are the power of Christian Nationalists — especially in light of their importance to Donald Trump and his base — along with concerns regarding his growing list of authoritarian promises.
"Are gay relationships in your opinion immoral?"
There is a policy / cultural question to be asked. thou not in that setting and not for those reasons. Should gay relationships be put on a pedestal / accepted / tolerated? For the individual, do as u please. Big picture does idolizing such behavior at least distract from propagation of a stable society from one generation to the next? I need to find a way to ask that question.
50,000 Ask Bernie Sanders to Apologize for Attack on Trump Nominee’s Faith
Over 50,000 individuals so far have signed an online petition asking Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to apologize for his public attack on the Christian beliefs of President Donald Trump’s nominee for a post in the Office of Management and Budget.

Sanders “responded in anger after Russell Vought, President Trump’s nominee to be deputy director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, answered a question about his belief that salvation is found alone through Jesus Christ,” the petition drafted by the Family Research Council, a Washington-based conservative policy organization, reads.
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, told The Daily Signal in an interview Tuesday that Sanders’ comments during Vought’s hearing June 7 before the Senate Budget Committee showed intolerance to religious freedom.
“I think what we saw from Bernie Sanders last week was just a blatant display of religious bigotry and intolerance,” Perkins said.
Sanders’ behavior, he said, is offensive to Americans of all backgrounds.
“The American people, whether or not they are people of faith, should just say, ‘He absolutely crossed the line, it should not be tolerated, and someone in his position imposing such a reverse or religious test … should not be accepted,” Perkins said.
The online petition drive, launched June 8, asks Sanders to apologize for the comments he made to Vought about his belief in the Christian doctrine of salvation through Jesus Christ alone.
The petition continues:
By signing this petition, you are asking Senator Sanders to apologize for his bigotry and asking his Senate colleagues to immediately pledge that they will not oppose nominees on the basis of their religious views.
The exchange between Sanders and Vought occurred when the senator questioned the OMB nominee about an article Vought wrote on Muslim theology.
>>> Bernie Sanders Shows the Left’s Refusal to Coexist With Traditional Believers
“You wrote, ‘Muslims do not simply have a deficient theology. They do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ, His Son, and they stand condemned.’ Do you believe that that statement is Islamophobic?” Sanders asked.
Vought, 41, responded:
Absolutely not, Senator. I’m a Christian, and I believe in a Christian set of principles based on my faith. That post, as I stated in the questionnaire to this committee, was to defend my alma mater, Wheaton College, a Christian school that has a statement of faith that includes the centrality of Jesus Christ for salvation.
Sanders, 75, cut off Vought at that point, and later said he “is really not someone who this country is supposed to be about.”
It is disturbing that Sanders’ behavior has not seen widespread coverage from long-established media outlets, Perkins told The Daily Signal:
If a conservative did such a thing, the mainstream media would be all over it. But because it is a conservative, evangelical Christian who is being targeted by Sanders, the mainstream media is basically ignoring it. And it shows Sanders’ comfortability, the fact that he felt he could do this in a public hearing in the United States Senate.
>>> Sanders’ Religious Test Goes Against Founders’ Vision
Sanders lost the Democratic nomination for president to Hillary Clinton but remains a leader of the party’s far-left wing. He was raised in the Jewish faith but has described himself as not particularly religious.
“The left has become so emboldened in their religious hostility in the wake of [President Barack] Obama’s administration, and they have the cover of the media,” Perkins said, adding:
This shows the American people how tenuous these freedoms are—our fundamental freedoms, religious freedom, freedom of speech—and that we absolutely must send a message that this will not be tolerated.

A number of Republicans, especially those aligned with the religious right, held their noses and voted for Donald Trump, despite his many outrages, for only one reason–a chance to maintain the conservative majority on the Supreme Court. The Republicans in the Senate even went as far as to throw a year-long tantrum to keep President Obama from picking Antonin Scalia’s replacement, in hopes that…

CRYIN’ RYAN SAYS U.S. MUST ADMIT MUSLIM MIGRANTS! DID RYAN LEARN NOTHING FROM 9/11 AND THE PARIS ATTACKS?

After the Paris terrorist attack, House Speaker Paul Ryan declared that the United States cannot turn away the hundreds of thousands of Islamist migrants now being approved for visas to enter the United States. Ryan declared that it is not “appropriate” to consider the religious attitudes of would-be migrants seeking admission.
