Why Doesn't the MSM...

[DirtyDan17]

Why has no attention been given to the Black Israelites who started hurling homophobic slurs and swearing at a bunch of school kids?

It's almost like they (the media) have an agenda...because they sure don't report the news in any balanced way.

 

[millerbleach]

They aren't white. They aren't Trump supporters. They aren't what we are told to hate.
That is the problem today whether in society, in the news, on this board, or anywhere else. We can't look at the facts, we have to make the facts change to fit the agenda.
We have a group of teenagers on a trip having a good time approached and shouted at in vulgar, very intolerant ways by one group and the teenagers are considered the problem. Then they are approached by another group in an assertive way and they are accused of hate speech when they never sought out or provoked anything.

If the media hadn't told me about the Israelites I wouldn't have even known about them. I had never heard of such a group before this thang happened. I guess you think it was ok for one of the kids to tell the old Indian guy that 'land gets stolen, that's just how it goes?"

What did fauxnews say about them

Why isn’t more attention given to evangelical Christians who claim the Bible is the authority on all matters of morality, yet support an unapologetically immoral president?

Questions that we may never have the answer to.

Hi Duck.

 

[wccards21]

Why does the media have to tell you anything? Is your life so sad that your beliefs have to be justified by your corporate overlords?

Why cant the media just report what happened instead of trying to "make" news?

The point of news shouldn't be to justify ANYONE'S beliefs.

The bigger question becomes, who benefits from sensationalizing or flat out falsely reporting news stories?

Clinton vs Trump

The answer is the fact that there was no moral choice.

That has nothing to do with what I posted.

It does though. Short of not voting, what was their option?

Not voting is a good option, but I’m talking about ongoing evangelical support of this president.

 

[DirtyDan17]

When you see Hillary as a greater evil, not voting isn't an option.

As for continued support, my best guess would be they view whoever is president as being ordained by God. I doubt you'll find many who support his behavior, but they will support him as the elected leader of the country. Not evangelical, so that's just my best guess.

Another guess would be they have support for Mike Pence, who is an evangelical wet dream, and support Trump by proxy. Again, just a guess.

Any president elected is ordained by God, according to the Bible, not just this president. I can find plenty of people on just this site that support everything this president does.

Whatever you say Duck.

Can you also prove they're evangelical? If not, your examples are moot.

I don't know of anybody on this site that supports everything this president does.

I think by "supports everything" he means we dont throw a fit everytime he does something stupid.

Miller bleach comes to mind.

What is YOUR definition of evangelical before we even go down this road? Do you consider all Christians evangelical?

Supporting Trumps policy does not equal supporting Trumps personal life.
We've had publicly moral Presidents who were awful for the church. Trump has done nothing but defend and support institutions of faith.

I saw it on TV just like I saw the rest of it and I would know how to link it if I was even interested in doing so.

No, not all Christians are evangelical. Basically, I equate evangelical Christians is western society to be Christians that are Protestant.

I think John piper puts it quite well.

So you make a gross generalization (that is factually untrue) about an entire group of people because it fits your world view?

Apply that to race, you're a racist.
Apply that to sex, you're a sexist.
Apply that to gender, you're a bigot.

So why is it ok to do it to Christians?

My goodness isn't the same thing you and Miller do to liberals every day all day long!

Funny how that works

No, the things we say about liberals are true.

Big difference.

What are you even talking about? It’s factually true that evangelicals overwhelmingly support trump.

Are you a fan of Piper? If so, i'm in that camp as well.

Yes, I think he’s great.

I think we need to define "support."

What ISNT true is that all protestants are evangelical. Best figure I could find stated that only 24% of all Christian's identify as evangelical.

Use whatever definition you want. The fact is they support trump absolutely.

It's the truth isn't it??? We stole the entire continent from the Indians, Texas and California from the Mexicans. Put on your big boy shorts and get over it or do something about it

Doubt it.

 

[you_dont_know_me]

I’m personally evangelical and do not support Trump absolutely. I certainly do not think he is anything close to even a morally above average person. I do prefer him to the other party and the other candidate and many of his policies. However, I don’t see politics as being the savior or our world or country. Only 1 is truly that...and they aren’t on earth right now

I never said it wasn't accurate or true. I never said it wasn't stated. I said I didn't see the video. Still haven't seen a link so, maybe it wasn't even said.

This.
I'm definitely an evangelical and can't stand Trump the person. I do fully support MOST of his policies but absolutely is WAY out of bounds.
Libs always find one person and claim everyone is like them.
