The president, Brat said, “is using the Christian tradition and trying to bring about compassion by bonking Republicans over the head with the Bible. It’s almost a comedy routine on what compassion and love is. He’s mocking his enemies in order to compel a larger federal state using the tradition of love.”
"How dare he promote LOVE! Love is evil! A True Christian® knows the true Pure GAWZPELL of HATE! HATE WITH RAHTIEOUS FYAARRR! GAWD IS A MIGHTY LONG, FAT, VEINY MAN-COCK OF HYPER-MASCULINE VIOLENT POWAH IN THE SKY! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!"
You don't own JACK; Mr. BRAT! You are THE BEAST OF REVELATION! The Non-Frum Christians have more claim on Christianity than you!
THESE ARE "TRUE CHRISTIANS"!....
* Alliance of Baptists (Alliance of Baptists)
* Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
* The Episcopal Church
* Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
* Metropolitan Community Church
* Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
* Progressive National Baptist Convention
* United Church of Canada
* United Church of Christ
* Unity Fellowship of Christ Church
....and there's more where that came from!
As for Mainline churches not having a lot of attendance....That only means that most sane Christians don't feel that church attendance is necessary to be a good Christian! It doesn't mean that genuine, peaceful Christianity is dead!
The "Social Gospel" is as valid as the "Soul-Saving Gospel", dummy! Jesus ministered to both the body & soul and SO SHOULD YOU!
FEED THE HUNGRY! CLOTHE THE NAKED! HEAL THE SICK! LOVE EVERYONE! FORGIVE EVERYONE (But you can still strive for justice even if you forgive a nasty criminal as a person. It's kind of complicated...)! PROMOTE PEACE AND KINDNESS! IT'S NOT THAT HARD YOU IDIOTS!
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!
COME ALONG PEOPLE, NOW! SMILE ON YOUR BROTHER! IT IS TIME TO GET TOGETHER! TIME TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER, RIGHT NOW!!!!....

....I'm half-tempted to go ChristoPagan and adopt a Nazarene Testament-Only faith and reclaim Christianity as a Gender-Egalitarian, Universalist MultiFaith of Faiths. It's really a hodgepodge of Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Mithraism, Kemeticism (Egypt - Both Amun & Aten versions), Dharmic and Gnostic.
