Thanks for activating your webcam. Now I know what I'm talking to.

In my opinion, MAGA Christians, like the rude and obnoxious ones we've seen in this thread, only pay lip service to their profession as Christians. They obviously don't walk the walk; otherwise, we'd recognize their genuine faith in their posts. I suppose they don't have a problem with marring their witness.

Reading the posts I described reminds me of the following quote: "The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle." That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” Brennan Manning

Or as Gandhi said "... all too many elevated the man and forget his message". He also said, "I love your Christ but not your Christians", although he certainly wasn't condemning all Christians.

Mahatma Gandhi said, "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
Note that he didn't say "I do not like some of your Christians." He said, "I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

He had many Christians within his supporters, so the statement is misleading.

And yet his own words seem to suggest that he had such a negative view of Christians.
He has also been accredited as saying, "I’d be a Christian if it were not for the Christians“ (source).
And here is another interesting read: Why Ghandi Didn’t Become a Christian.

As in love your neighbor as yourself and love your enemies?
By what I know, Trump asked the National Guard. And Pelosi prevented it. Are you saying that Pelosi could not have prevented it? If so, why they were not brought there as Trump asked?
To me it is suspicious, especially when done at that point and not much earlier.
Doesn't mean he asked to manufacture them.

There were quite a few Christians that lived with Gandhi on his ashrams, plus his public prayers also included both Muslem and Christian prayers.

Not until almost 4 hours after the incurrection attempt statered. He watched it on tv according to those there.
False. Here:
A recent fact check by The Associated Press found that an assertion being made by members of the House Republican Conference that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was responsible for the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol due to security reasons is not true.
“As Speaker of the House, Pelosi does not direct the National Guard,” the AP reported in its fact check. “Further, as the Capitol came under attack, she and the Senate Majority leader called for military assistance, including the National Guard.”
As a House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection questioned four members of law enforcement who responded to the attack on Tuesday, several members of the House GOP during media interviews attempted to pin the violence that broke out on Pelosi, saying the Capitol Complex was not properly secured... https://thehill.com/homenews/house/...pelosi-blocked-national-guard-on-jan-6-false/
We KNOW what happened as the above article shows.
If you actually listen to it as I had recommended, it's very obvious this was his intent.
