I thought you were trying to prove that black Christians were strongly anti-gay? Your link says the exact opposite. No, the link if you had read it says they're exploited to make money for the black churches. That's one way to read it. Not the right way, but a way.

That's a good example.........especially in how one party used to hold those values, while the other never did.
Now you're catching on!
See how easy it is to agree on some truths?

That's the right way to read it. Bye bro. From your article: "It all happens under an unspoken "don't ask, don't tell" custom that allows gay people to be active in the church, though closeted, and churches to reap the benefits of their membership." Which IS NOT the strong anti-gay messaging that you claim black Christians have been claiming.

That’s not telling me why Biden Administration isn’t criminal, only looking for reasons to find why Trump is criminal. Why do you think he is a criminal? List what you think what crimes Biden has committed? I want you to list why the Biden Administration is so squeaky clean and Trump isn't.

I'm saying "don't ask don't tell" isn't a strong anti-gay stance equivalent to what white Evangelicals push.

Because there plenty of evidence that Trump committed crimes and there is no evidence that Biden committed crimes. Where is this evidence that will convict him? The court of moronic public opinion doesn't count.

Well, even I have pointed out how odd the Church overall has gotten in recent years. Awfully flexible types in charge these days

Why do you think he is a criminal? List what you think what crimes Biden has committed? There was/is almost certainly influence peddling. Unless you can believe that countries all over the world will pay a crack-head big money for a do nothing job when just COINCIDENTALLY he was the son of the vice-president. And not to mention cocaine is an illegal narcotic.

But it is. If you can't be yourself than it's worse than anything the white Evangelicals could think of.

The flexible morality of partisan politics applies to everyone. Including churches.

…..and Biden administration isn’t? In a word: Evidence. Trump has on several occasions publicly done criminal activity. His attempt to steal the 2020 election is but one example. Saying that because Trump scammed countries for his childrens benefit, Biden must have done as well, isn't evidence. It is speculation. Yet where is this rock solid evidence it wasn't stolen? Either way is speculation, so you can't condemn on conjecture and hearsay.
