Her choice of the word “messenger” has a definite jesus-freak dog-whistle sound.

“demonizing a messenger because they don’t agree with the message.”

Oh, like how CMP recorded and edited private conversations among abortion providers to demonize how they talk about totally safe and legal procedures?

Or is she saying that we shouldn’t “demonize a messenger” that murdered 3 people? Not sure about…

the tenets of the faith. no one is taking up residence in the catechism.

The guys who shoot up clinics and harass doctors don’t give a shit about the babies once they’re born. They’re also the same people who oppose women’s access to birth control. These are the same people who oppose sex education. It’s not about doing away with any type of person but ensuring women have the right to…

It seems a sad state of affairs to have to give so many points for basic civility. Cool hijab, but let’s not pretend she’s an ally just because she’s sincere.

No, you miss the main point of offense. Fine, she’s pro-life. Whatever, she has the right to be. The reason that her particular brand of pro-life pro-traditional family values are DETRIMENTAL to the country is that they come from her religious beliefs. She says as much in this interview. She has every right to have…

I can admire deeply held and sincere beliefs, but when people think that those beliefs should extend to everyone and become public policy...I find that very hard to admire.

Pro-traditional families can mean anti-gay. It can also mean anti-contraceptive and anti-divorce. It’s a scary loaded term! Agree with you- not feeling the love AT ALL.

And also, “traditional families” =anti-gay. And what is “cool” about aligning with a party that hates you? Not getting the love here.

Can we be clear about the fact that this woman is NOT a hero to America? Seriously? An anti-choice pro-traditional family Republican who uses her religion as the base of her political and policy decisions? She basically just said that her Islam has led her to all the same conservative conclusions as right wing…

I’m not really down with championing anyone who is actively promoting an an anti-choice agenda as a “hero,” no matter what their religious beliefs.

I can’t handle the number of people who fervently believe those videos are real, even after it’s been proven over and over again that they are not. “I don’t care about facts! I believe that they’re real!”

Or the fucking idiot of a bride could maybe have not insisted on backless dresses for her bridesmaids that have breasts that refused to be tamed by a measly stick on cup!

babies can’t date. only one baby at a time fits in the cozy coupe.

First off, nobody mentioned actual violence by a pastor or other religious leader. You did. And show me one place in America that this has happened without law enforcement getting involved. One.

And “christian” churches are “hotbeds” of misogynistic political speech, sometimes leading to violence. Should we be allowed to go into those as well and arrest pastors?

I can’t help but read it as “If given the opportunity, this is what I as a man would do.”

I would guess that more than 60% of evangelicals would say they're more loyal to Christianity than America. A lot of them conflate the two, but when asked directly, they're picking Jesus.

.... you can’t be serious.

.....whaaaaat
