Trying to figure out why there are two of these damn threads.

Earlier Vanilla screwed up and you could post to the other one, but it didn’t actually post.  It looked like it broke Vanilla’s code like threads that are 10 years old.  So I started a new one.  Now we are burning down the new one because the OG one is working again.

You don’t appear to be doing a good job burning it down, would you like some assistance?

It’s good to know we can always count on you to share the sentiments of our country’s lowest common denominators.

You underestimate our lowest common denominator if you think that is the bar.

At least that sex was consensual unlike Trump’s escapades.

I don’t think it’s the bar by any stretch, I just know we can count on you to share it with us whenever it does rear its ugly head.

I was wondering for a good 10 seconds why we didn't see memes like that for Boebert before it dawned on me, there's already video tape and what's left to smear?

I’d venture to say dollar store makeup.

I’d might find this humorous if Biden did not eschew one of the primary tenants of Catholicism for votes.   

He elected to support all forms of abortion for the sake of the Left for votes

I guess “devout” is subjective. 

But then again he was raised in a black neighborhood while also being raised in a Puerto Rican church, or was it vice versa, never knew with that guy…

Perhaps enlighten us on why either would be a bad thing?

neither of those are bad Botch, just saying you never know what’s going to come out of his mouth.  

But I like how you didn’t reference the key element of the post…abortion and Catholicism.

I’ll address it, since I was raised Roman Catholic, and most of my family is Catholic.

I think what your post is missing is the distinction between Biden’s personal/religious views on abortion, and what he thinks should be the law in the country.  That whole separation of church and state concept.  

The people I know who are devout and I respect are those that do not proselytize their beliefs on others.

I too was raised Catholic.  You either accept the tenants or you don’t.    That’s what we were taught, correct?

Furthermore, I do not think he ever distinguished between his beliefs and what the country should believe.  

If I’m wrong I’m wrong I really don’t care, I don’t have a say, just find the hypocrisy incredible to gain votes—and that’s how I saw things.

So your view is that Catholics should insist that the federal laws be consistent with their own religious views?  That otherwise they don’t accept the tenets?

Or is it your view that you disavow your tenants so you get/remain elected to public office?

“By previously legalizing same-sex marriage and now Marijuana, Canada has finally interpreted the bible correctly, Leviticus 20:13 clearly states, ‘If a man lies with another man he should be stoned.’”

Isn’t that exactly what every true conservative is doing with Trump? He can only check a couple of the Ten Commandments boxes.

You're assuming his sole motivation has been to get people to vote for him, vs to serve his constituency who have freedom of religion, another important tenet.

You do you.

You don’t have to disavow anything.  I don’t think there’s any inconsistency between holding personal, private religious views and advocating for a federal government that does not impose such views on everyone.

Tenants are people that pay rent, or sometimes live rent free.

Did he ever distinguish?    Not to my knowledge.   

I’ll do me, you do you, gladly buddy.

I still want to know what being raised in a black neighborhood or in a Puerto Rican church has to
do with it.
