Doesn’t sound Christian
I keep seeing a TV ad for a young political candidate who touts himself as a conservative and a Christian. He states that he will bring change to government by excluding from this country those who want to provide a better life for themselves and their families (immigrants). He will work to deny those in need of health care (Obamacare), and he will condone killing (ISIS).
As a young child attending Sunday school, I was never taught Christianity involved exclusion, denying or killing. I guess in today’s toxic political environment, if you think it will get you votes, say it.
