It was made pretty clear, I thought, that Roe v. Wade is "settled law" and that no one in the Republican Party was going to try to reverse the gay "marriage" ruling so I genuinely don't know what conservative Christians want control of the SCOTUS for. Guns? I'm from Texas, I've never worried about that because whatever the court rules in regard to banning guns is never going to be enforced. It's never going to happen. Is that why Christians have been voting for Trump? I don't know.<br /><br />The number of Christians who actually oppose things like abortion and gay "marriage" seems rather hard to grasp. All the mainline Protestant churches either support or at least do not oppose these things. The Catholic Church has been the last major hold-out and even there many people have been caused to believe the Roman position to be somewhat ambiguous. I wouldn't be surprised if many traditional Christians (Catholic and Protestant alike) feel just as betrayed by their spiritual leaders as their political ones. Perhaps that would explain it, I don't know, I only know my own thoughts and it seems to me that conservative politicians and many/most Christian leaders have given up on the old battles, reversed course or at least decided to look for other, easier causes to back like "social justice" or "climate change".MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.com
