I wish all self proclaimed "Christians" lived their lives like Jimmy and Roslyn. The world would be a much better place.

There's very few Christians actually practicing Christianity.

There's a lot more than you think. They just tend not to make the news.

My statement has nothing to do with the "christians" making the news. It's from real world experience. From family to friends and coworkers, the people who go to church weekly are the same ones who've had affairs, steal from work, have hateful attitudes towards minorities and LGBTQ, never give to charity but bitch about anyone who receives it. You don't gotta look at the big stories. Keep it small and local. Barely anyone is living by what they preach. "Rules for thee but not for me, but I'm still gonna act like I'm on the moral highground"

I've observed many of the same attributes from "Christians" I know. Not all of them are bigots but many are.

I say this not to attack your position, but just my experience as a response to what you’ve said: in my life I’ve never experienced hatred like Christian love, and I have only met 2-3 people who actually follow what OG Jesus said.

Why would XINOs live like Jimmy? They use the Christian faith in order to entertain greed, wrath, and lust; while we have true followers of the religion in the Democratic Party, like Carter and Warnock. The point of the matter is, Jesus provided free services in regards to wine, health, and the impoverished, would be labeled a socialist-communist today, and the Bible endorsed abortion.

Consider this: What even is a Republican policy today, other than bigotry, guns, forced birth, and Trump?
