You understand the Gospel yet you're hostile to it? How do you square that circle?

I am not hostile to the gospel, i am hostile to the church and evangelists who have perverted its message to preach greed and self service.
At its heart the new testament is the most woke document to ever be written, its a message of love and harmony to all, not just your political team, not just white people, not just us citizens, its a book about treating everyone with respect and always striving to do the right thing.
The abomination that you listen to has nothing to do with the gospel and you only read the parts of the bible that tell you who to hate (selectively) because the bible outright states that trump is an evil man, as i said in matthew 15:19.

I dont disagree with you on the Gospel. The part of Christianity that is so fundamental and core to the entire faith is Romans 3:23. All means all. ALL of us are sinners, including myself, including you.

You're condemning and refusing to forgive others for their sins, while denying your own. You're literally Jewish because ultimately that's what Judaism is - hypocrisy.

We are all sinners, correct, but NOWHERE in the bible does it say you should take the biggest sinners and worship them in cult like devotion to the point where they are beyond criticism, show me that passage, i will wait.
Sin is a BAD THING in the bible.

And what would this radical change look like? Where would you make the drastic cuts? And how do you prevent these cuts from allowing Democrats to get right back into power in 2028 and undoing all of the cuts, plus implementing all the other shitty aspects of their platform?

The debt, as huge as it is, can probably be ignored for at least another 1-2 decades as long as the ongoing deficit is brought back down to earth to be in line with GDP growth.

You're asserting your own opinions and assumptions as truth. Where in the Bible does it say that's permissible? You're not God.

Of course sin is a bad thing. That doesnt mean we dont forgive others.

You're also judging the whole instead of individuals. There are false teachers in both the Catholic and various Evangelical churches. That doesnt mean everyone is false.

That's right. The way to reduce is to unironically "build back better", that means big investment in radical change to get the country working again, deport all the illegal parasitic aliens, push a bit harder on work-shy people to get a job, etc.

There is a slight difference between forgiving sins and giving an unrepentant sinner the most powerful role on earth and defending them from any and all criticisms.

He *is* repentant. He has literally repented for his sin of adultery.

Incremental cuts across the board. We’re spending roughly 40% more on ss/medicare/medicaid vs pre COVID levels. No sensible person is proposing we roll that back to that level but stop the deficit ballooning by imposing mandatory cuts per year to get deficit/gdp to 3%. Not all in one year but first let’s aim for 5-6% then 4, then 3. Ladder it and codify it. That alone would be an astounding signal to the bond market and rates prob drop ~100bp

Freezing the exponential spend growth is not going to cause people to starve or die of simple diseases. It will cause the fat on the margin to begin to be trimmed.
