Is that what I think?
Haven’t met too many Maoists or Leninists at the local Democratic Party meetings hereabouts, but maybe they’re at the meetings in your neck of the woods. A lot of Republican farmers here in the Arkansas Delta are anxious to sell more rice to Castro, you know. If we can trade with China and Vietnam, there shouldn’t be any trouble doing business with Cuba, they think.
Not really. The secular left uses God, religion and spirtuality when it suits them.
So true. And right-wingers also use God, religion, and spirituality when it suits them. LOL!
Haven’t been on a college campus in a while, eh??
That government officals know better than the average citizen as to what is good for him?? In that either/or proposition, I venture you would lean toward saying “yes, they do.”
And when doesn’t God, religion and spirituality suit them?
If Satan can quote Scripture to his purposes, so surely can the right-wingers and the left-wingers, too - when it suits them.
So you have no examples to back up your assertion, correct?
An example of Satan, the left-wing, and the right-wing using God, religion, and spirituality to their own purposes? Not that I can quote off hand, but it is a logical assumption that all three can and do so.
LOL!!! I didn’t think so. Btw, I only asked about your assertion regarding the right-wing.
LOL!!! Don’t go trying to put words into my mouth. You made an assertion and I asked for an example to back it up. You admit you cannot do so. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Could not do so off-hand, but here’s an example of Satan quoting Scripture to his own purpose: Matthew 4:6.
So the 700 Club represents the Chrisitian Right? Interesting. As someone who’s in the process of converting to Catholicism and who’s voted for numerous conservative candidates these last few election cycles, I don’t know that the 700 Club spoke for them…or me, for that matter. I am aware of the long-used stereotype regarding them.
I believe that observation of them is fairly accurate, though they may have changed recently. I don’t watch the program now so perhaps they aren’t what they were some years ago.
Just being thorough by covering all bases related to using Scripture at all to one’s own purposes.
But the distinction is that it always suits them so they always use it. To the left it only sometimes suits them. That’s a big difference.
In your opinion, perhaps, but my point is that both find that it suits them when they want.
Except you can’t back your point up with any examples of the right-wing doing so. Too funny, indeed.
So, absent my specific example of their doing so, are you asserting that the right-wing never invokes God, religion, or spirituality when it suits them?
Nope. I’m saying clearly you made an assertion you can’t validate with an example.
And the relevance of that in regard to my asking you to validate your assertion with some factual reality is???
Unfortunately, you are right. this misperception is usually perpetuated by leftists who resort to insults instead of intellectual arguments ( I don’t put you in this category).
In your opinion, perhaps, but my point is that the right always wants God and the left only want him when it’s convenient.
