Christians are unhinged
Yeah but plenty are on hinge amirite?
Me when I see Christian on their profile:
Christian on a man’s profile 99% of the time is linked to “not political”
Like yeah ok Jeff we totally believe you.
"Not political" indicates that they think of some people and some ways of life as political and others as just normal. And you know who will be classed as normal while everyone else is being needlessly political. "Not political" just means "Can you all just settle down and stop complaining and let a man enjoy his privilege in peace?"
I’ve NEVER met a person who was “not political” but also not a raging conservative/tea-party/maga/fundie
So they use it the same way as when they say " I'm not racist but..."
More like the “well it’s not racist to say << crazy racist thing >>”
Every damn time
Christians? ON hinge? No.
Yeah, I think they’re mostly on christiansmingle.com, not Hinge.
Farmers only
Speaking strictly as a gnostic atheist here, painting every Christian with the same brush is a logical fallacy. Plenty of Christians are using their religion as a reason to do everything they can to fight back against this asshat.
But the 'not every' argument gets really tired for valid reasons. And the fact that he's used their theological identity to cultivate his support still points to how easily corrupted it is.
Unfortunately, majority of Christians are evangelical and overwhelmingly support Trump, so it is a generally accurate statement
Majority of US Christians, at any rate. I'm not sure how that statistic plays out in the rest of the world.
Post was about US politics, so that was implied
These Christian’s are only doing everything they can as trump makes them look guilty by association. Seems like a selfish reason to me personally.
Why not do everything they could in trumps first term if they were against him? It’s a lot more genuine if you’re against someone before they go against your religious beliefs.
As if they are even turning on him. Ive seen this same article for every single checkmark item you posted and his maga base has unwavered every single time.
Give me a break, I'm allowed to go to church on Sunday. That doesn't mean I'm a far right MAGA maniac. Just means I like a sip of watered down wine once a week
No one’s saying you aren’t allowed. We will just make assumptions.
