Thanks for reading.

You summed it up yourself: “Is there no limit to the depravity we should tolerate?”
That is exactly the question I ask about the policies of the left.

A party that refuses to enforce laws.
A party that repeatedly works to keep murderers, rapists, and traffickers out of prison.
A party that supports irreversible surgical and hormonal interventions on confused children — and the doctors who profit from it.
A party that cannot acknowledge biological realites of male and female.
A party that openly defends the killing of unborn babies. Yes, I will say it plainly: that is murder.

These are not “complex moral issues.” Scripture is clear about innocent life.

You speak about cruelty, but I see cruelty in policies that destroy lives before they ever take their first breath. I see cruelty in abandoning victims while excusing criminals. I see cruelty in confusing children and calling it compassion.

You criticize environmental policy, but I reject the lie that caring for God’s creation requires economic self-destruction. Oil and energy are part of how people survive — how they stay warm, travel, work, and provide for their families. Stewardship does not mean surrendering to climate hysteria that hurts the poor most of all.

You mention Israel and military spending. I don’t celebrate war or loss of life. But I do believe standing with Israel matters — biblically and strategically. Peace is not achieved by pretending evil doesn’t exist.

You asked where the line is.
Here it is:

When a leader’s words become more destructive than policies that kill, confuse, and corrupt — then I’ll stop supporting him.

We are nowhere close to that.

Do I defend everything he says? Absolutely not.
Do I cringe at his tone? Often.
But personality flaws do not outweigh policies that cost lives.

You imply I think I’m a better Christian than you. I don’t.
But I will not support a political platform that openly advances what Scripture calls evil — and I won’t pretend neutrality is righteousness. I believe you are a well-meaning person who desires to do what’s right, but it seems you are asking me to overlook widespread, biblcial denying depravity in policies while you accuse me of tolerating moral depravity in a man who policies happen to be supporting much of a biblical worldview that i have.

Also, being empathetic to people is not always the same thing as being loving to them, which is a huge part of the left’s problems.

If you’re open, I’d recommend a book – “Toxic Empathy” by Allie Beth Stuckey. If you’ll read it, email me your address and I’ll buy it and send it to you.

God bless.

Thanks for reading. I strongly disagree. I oppose the progressive policies on killing of the innocents (abortion), the horrible tragedy of 4 years of wide open uncontrolled borders, gender issues, and many other policies. Would I rather have a conservative leader who doesn’t name call, shows humility, and is a strong Christian role model? Yes, I would. But, we didn’t have that choice. The controlling far left of the democrat party undermines moral order, public safety, and biblical convictions that I have long held.

Most of his agenda is what the electorate voted for. I can certainly agree that I would rather have a republican who is more reasonable in his manner of speech, name calling, etc. His administraion inherited a mess and there is no easy way to fix it. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for commenting. One thing the Bible shows over and over is that God often works through very imperfect people—sometimes even unbelievers. Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus, Samson, Jehu, even Pilate… none of them were moral examples, but God still used them for specific purposes. That didn’t mean He endorsed their behavior; it just meant He’s sovereign in how He moves history along.

And honestly, that’s how a lot of Christians approached recent elections. Many who voted for Trump weren’t excited about his personality at all—they were voting against immoral policies on the other side that this president was willing to stand againse. That’s not loyalty to a man; that’s making a hard choice in a broken world.

We don’t excuse anyone’s faults, and our loyalty is to the Lord alone. But Scripture simply doesn’t teach that God can only use leaders who meet a high moral bar. He never has. God can use imperfect people for His purposes while still holding them accountable, and He calls us to stay faithful to Him through it all. Thanks much.
