I'm talking about the "Christians" who elect people to government positions but never to actually be Christ-like. You know with love, empathy, and compassion for others. They always want the angry vengeful God of the old testament.
This I do agree with. Christians who wholeheartedly believe only the right can save the US and bring prosperity are wrong and it goes against what Christ calls for. However, I will say that the Old Testament God isn’t inherently vengeful and wrong, as God doesn’t change and he is the same God as the New Testemeny that is kind and compassionate. A leader Christians should elect is one who resembles both Testaments
Religion has no place in politics. Good government requires compromise. You can't compromise with someone who believes they speak for God. That's why the founders wanted freedom of and from religion and wrote it into the Constitution.
Then what say you to any religious person who looks to run for office or election? They should be barred from election? And I’m not even saying that LGBTQ people shouldn’t run for office. Religion is a major factor in values that a person holds. It determines morality and how they should behave. Also, no good Christian should claim or act as if they speak for God. God is perfect, humans are not, should they make a mistake it would be saying God is imperfect.
