And today our God is convenience or career or, you know,
self-actualization or however you want to phrase that, it is the God of self.
It is sacrificing to your selfishness.
And so at no point in this curriculum did they consider the sinful heart that might lead people to back sinful, wicked policies.
And I thought, if you are not going to confront that, then I don't think you have any sort of Bible study curriculum that is really grounded in God's word that understands the depravity of man and
and how that depravity leads us to pursue things that are really harmful to our neighbors and harmful to us.
Yeah, yeah.
And, you know, it's funny because I agree with you that I go, I am not judging anyone's heart on their voting record.
But at the same time, I think if you as a Christian are backing, let's say, a set of policies, because when you choose a candidate, you are choosing a set of policies.
And if the set of policies you are choosing is a platform that says we are full bore for sexual immorality and gender confusion and murdering babies to sacrifice to the God of convenience.
I do think that, you know, certainly your discernment is off and I question your spiritual maturity.
Um, you know, people want to get into the Trump issue a lot.
And when you read through Tim Alberta's book, which kicked this whole thing off, he is this sort of reason diatra for everything.
I mean, he is the ultimate for how we're deciding whether or not people are Christians.
And I go, if you're looking at that as a set of policies, which is how I tend to view politics, um,
at each stage of the political process, I am choosing what I think is the best set of policies.
So if you are looking at that and you are saying, and they really have, that there is something sick and diseased in the hearts of Christian Trump supporters, I would go, what sort of disease do you think is in your heart as a Christian or what lack of discernment, what blind spots
if you are choosing a set of policies that is diametrically opposed to God's law, which is not to say that, you know, Republicans are great.
And because to me, they are very deficient in many ways.
Yeah, totally.
