Trying to perfect the voting system to close gaps in security doesn’t mean a lack of trust in God. It’s a lack of trust in the morals of other people, for the same reason we lock our doors when we leave home to go to work. Putting our trust in God doesn’t mean leaving ourselves completely vulnerable to attacks and having our elections stolen or hijacked. Most of the founding fathers were avid Christians and felt that voting was a solemn responsibility to help to thoughtfully and prayerfully choose the leaders of the fledgling United States.
Speaking of attacks, referring to your fellow Christians as ‘Christians’ implies the phrase pseudo-Christians. It’s a thinly veiled insult, and throwing it around indiscriminately hurts people who are in a sincere pursuit of God. It’s also very rude. If it’s not your intent to be offensive and a pain in everyone’s backside, please knock it off.
The tax free status has been used to help churches keep afloat during hard times and leave them with more resources to reach out to the community or undertake more mission projects. However, you’re not wrong that tax exempt status has also been a way for the government to influence church politics and positions, perhaps even moving the church’s positions on key issues to places more in line with the prevailing secular views. However, insulting people who don’t completely share your views doesn’t help your argument.
in the reply to Quiz - voting for Trump has worked out MUCH better than I hoped for. That's why I'm voting for him again. Leave Joe in the Basement with his woman VP. Christians are usually conservative so I believe the turnout for Trump will be good.
