I know that Trump said he hadn't repented--certainly not at the time of the e******n.

So the question begged is if you can't bake a wedding cake for a homosexual wedding because doing so would cause you to partake in their sin how can you v**e for Donald Trump, an unrepentant adulterer, and not partake in his sin? Please explain, I am dying to know...
Ah, yes, beg the questions, Pete. Lots of questions.
If a gay couple really needs a cake to celebrate their wedding, how many bakeries are there to choose from?
A dozen? A hundred?
Out of all bakeries available to them, why would a gay couple single out a Christian owned bakery to serve them? Why would they not look for a bakery owned by a homosexual, or an atheist, or anyone who has no religious affiliation?
Begs the questions, doesn't it? Is the gay couple motivated by a sincere affection for each other? Would they not find a celebratory and genuine well wisher in a gay baker? Even a non-religious one? Or, did they have an ulterior motive for choosing a Christian bakery?
Questions, simple ones.
There were only two viable p**********l candidates on the b****t in 2016. One has been a politician all her adult life. For 40 some years, she proved beyond a shadow of doubt that her political philosophies are diametrically opposed to ALL of the issues most important to conservatives and Christians, and this included her opinion of the Constitution of the United States. She stated in her book,
It Takes a Village, that she prefers the term "progressive" over "liberal". The 100 year history of progressivism in America has proven disastrous to the principles upon which our nation was founded. The father of progressivism in America was an anti-constitutionalist and a virulent r****t. We are well aware of the anti-American character of the bastard child of C*******m.
In a speech not long before she launched her 2016 p**********l campaign, Hillary Clinton made a stunning declaration of war on religious Americans. Speaking to the 2015 Women in the World Summit, she declared that
"deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed." Even many of her staunch supporters, including liberal reporters, were stunned by this statement.
As one of them wrote in the Washington Post,
"This is perhaps the most radical statement against religious liberty ever uttered by someone seeking the presidency. It is also deeply revealing. Clinton believes that, as president, it is her job not to respect the views of religious conservatives but to force them to change their beliefs and bend to her radical agenda favoring taxpayer-funded a******n on demand." Clinton's stand against religious liberty has been expressed many times since. The WaPo reporter continued,
"This is the context in which we must read a recently released trove of emails — which, according to WikiLeaks, come from the accounts of Clinton staff — showing the rampant anti-Catholic bigotry that permeates Clinton World."Once again, a question is begged. Has Hillary Clinton repented for her sins? Has she gotten down on her knees and asked the Lord to forgive her?
The candidate opposing Clinton was a horse of a different color. Out of nowhere he came, a Dark Horse, never once serving in a public office, never once elected to any government position. A non-politician on a mission. He rode roughshod over his fellow Republican candidates, like a rampaging bull, he blew through the political bulls**t and landed with both feet firmly planted on the Never Hillary platform. He pulled no punches in expressing his unwavering opposition to everything Clinton stood for. "Make America Great Again" had a resounding ring to it. And, he made it very clear where he stood with Christian beliefs. Music to our ears.
Still, we were shocked by this man's brash and bold party crashing campaign. Many of us didn't quite know what to think about this guy, but we never doubted where Hillary Clinton would take our nation if she became POTUS. It was the political philosophies of the candidates, it was their stand on the issues, not their faith, not whether or not they'd repented their sins, that decided it for us. For many of us, it was simply a Never Hillary v**e.
Unlike the gay couples who had many bakers to choose from, we had no choice for whom to v**e.
