Sorry we are talking past each other, Jon.

Interestingly enough, I just wrote a piece on 2 Thessalonians 3:10. I won't take the time to rehash it; if anyone wants to read it, it is found here:


Isn't the real issue about what and how much role government and taxation is proper in helping the poor and needy, rather than it being a question of whether Christians should help others?

And then there is automation. And globalisation. And a horde of other factors that make it appear to me that the standard work week should probably be no more than ten hours.

In his biography of President Carter, Randall Balmer offers many names, James Dunn and several others who were frustrated at the use of abortion as a political weapon in the arsenal by the far right to further mobilize Pressler, Adrian Rogers and other SBC fundies and upend Carter's conservative base in 1976.

And I have linked innumerable times on this board what I consider the definitive piece on the politics of abortion, Stansell's Holy War in the New Republic.

I respect the gut felt convictions of many on the issue.

What I think is of the Devil is how the abortion issue has been weaponized in political strategies. The Bushes in particular are most hypocritical on the issue and Trump is beyond hypocrisy.

The politics of abortion are major political building block keeping Alabama in the 19th Century.

Stansell said the Right has perfected the issue, one a long time chocked full of "MENDACITY".

fOR THE umpteenth time, Mendacity is not a Christian virtue
