Do you believe that all moral truth comes from God?
Do you believe that religious principles should influence our laws?
Do you believe in traditional family structures including marriage and gender roles?

I find it very telling that when Christian Nationalists try to justify their actions, they selectively quote the Old Testament or Paul, but hardly ever quote the Gospels..

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA
I suspect what we do in the bedroom is more important to Christians than God.
I think God is more interested in justice for the poor
God is only interested in what we do in the bedroom, when what we do in the bedroom is abusive, coercive, and exploitative

Funny. Right wing Christians, who for years have been telling liberal/progressive churches to stick to the Gospel, not cultural issues
