They don't care about Christ, they just use to it defend tier bigotry. This is why the same people that go crazy over gay people having a loving relationship or ok with Trump lying. Then the Bible talks more about lying then it does gayness.

And so did Trump for 65 years, never suggesting that Tiffany get aborted.

The Bible says that all sin is equally appalling and should be avoided. You can't approach this by using the religion's logic against its followers while in the same breath using it to defend something that you admit it condemns.

Because people on the right are able to see people and positions from a macro point of view. Conservatives are able to look at somebody who they disagree with on some points, and agree with them on other points.

Liberals?

Everyone who disagrees with me is a racist white supremacist nazi!!!!!

Why don't these people treat lying,adulterers in office like they treat gay people if you say everything is the same.

I read an article about this on a Christian site a while back, and the author suggested that people support him because they feel like they've been persecuted for being a Christian. They're willing to overlook his flaws in hopes that he helps restore Christianity to America. I'll see if I can find it.

If Trump would just say "I support abortion", the Abortion issue would have maybe three combatants.

Does it really say all sin is just as bad? I believe there are 10 sins that top the list in horribleness. Adultery, which Trump admits to, is one of those ten. Homosexuality doesn't make the list.
