Bernie and fellow hate heathens trying to keep Christians out of government

This is worse than Hillary's deplorable comment about Christians.  Bernie voted against a guy for OMB director because he is a Christian and would not conform his faith to align with political correct that have no God other than Humanism and it's Church of the Government.  Vougt said he treats all people respectfully as required by his faith.  Bernie called him a bigot.

Great headline

Hot take... Radical fundamentalism (including some christian sects) has shown repeatedly to have very serious and damaging consequences when put in positions of power over people or large populations.  Look no further than muslims in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Syria, evangelicals in the South/rural areas in the US, zionists in Isreal, or capitalists on Wall Street.

Bernie and some on the progressive left are fighting against extreme ignorance and literalism. If only there were more like them.

How much longer does Breitbart have? When 90% of your advertisers go elsewhere your days have to be numbered.

Jesus, Bernie's a quack.

Jesus, if real, is probably with bernie.

(Unless you subscribe to republican, gun-loving, low taxes, bigoted jesus)

Bernie and his socialistic followers have no right to banish anyone from public service just because they are a principled Christian.

From the hearing:
Vought: “Thank you for probing on that question. As a Christian, I believe that all individuals are made in the image of God and are worthy of dignity and respect regardless of their religious beliefs. I believe that as a Christian that’s how I should treat all individuals…”

Sanders: “…Do you think that’s respectful of other religions?… I would simply say, Mr. Chairman that this nominee is really not someone who this country is supposed to be about.”

This is an interesting situation. Freedom of religion gets tricky when your religion is that billions of people in the world are clearly inferior. Good for Bernie for starting this conversation.

My question is he going to  apply the same test to a Muslim who believes their faith is the only true religion.  The following quote captures the outrage of Christians
"I  have friends who are gravely concerned about the future of religious liberty—the ability to hold the tenets of Christianity without being discriminated against. You might have very little sympathy for a group that has enjoyed all the benefits of a powerful majority for the history of our nation, but angry, animated insinuations that historical Christian beliefs are tantamount to bigotry and disqualifying for a federal department like the Office of Budget and Management are why some evangelicals fear a future onslaught on their beliefs."

Did Trump nominate any muslims?

[sonofdaxjones]

Clearly.

I liked that Bernie was shocked and disgusted that a professed Christian would believe in the one thing that makes a person a Christian.

I don't think considering Muslims to be "condemned" to be the one thing that makes a Christian a Christian.

[SdK]

It's not.

I think you guys and Bernie are hung up on the word "condemned".  What if the guy had said "I believe the only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ."  Would that have been objectionable to Bernie or was it the fact that he specifically singled out Muslims. Obviously you can read between the lines that since Muslims reject the divinity of Jesus they stand condemned but he wouldn't have come out and said it specifically.

How is Bernie like 90 years old and we just heard about him last year and now all libs think he's the saving grace to man kind? So weird and random. You say free crap and losers raise their ears everywhere. Pretty great platform if you ask me.

Hillary was just that bad.

Wackycat08, you're the only one who is has only recently heard of bernie sanders

This might be the funniest thing I've read in a long time. 3/4 of the libtards on this board and beyond don't keep up with politics like you do, lib. Most of his voters like him because he looked like Larry David and he's going to give me free crap.

[star seed 7]

Totally

If wacky ends up with all my free crap I'm going to be pissed

it's pretty damn core.


also i think pretty close to all religions believe that billions of people are clearly inferior*.  it's almost impossible to be a religion without that.


* their beliefs

Yeah it kind of is. But this guy specifically said  Muslim beliefs aren't just inferior, but they're condemned because they're so bad. Like a level below your typical inferior believer. Not sure if that makes much of a difference or not! Regardless I think it's an interesting discussion.
