He didn't.....any more or less than anyone else would.What do we do about all the CRCs who accuse their fellow christians of not be really christian when they support gay marriage and try to help those poor and needy on our borders?So what? This is a secular country. We are not (thank goodness) controlled by your religious beliefs. We do not, yet, have christian sharia law here.That's one way to spin it.
But ministers would point out that it is a theological fact that Almighty God put Adam and Eve into the garden , not Adam and Steve, and He just doesn't approve of homosexuality. I guess you can spin taking it in the ass as a "civil right", but that has not been the position of Christian theologians since antiquity
If we all do have Freedom of Religion, Mayor Petey needs to respect that as well, and be understanding to his fellow Americans who don't believe it is particularly holy to abort babies or to take it in the caboose. Calling people "hypocrites" because they don't hold to his sectarian views isn't very diverse and doesn't show any inclusivity.
You can do whatever the hell you want to argue the fine points of theology in the media, in the pulpit, or on the Street corner.
You are certainly entitled to your own religious beliefs just as Normative Americans are.
But I'd say its out of place for a gentleman like Mr. Buttigieg, who wants to rule over all of us in a non-sectarian state, to use a political event to attack the religious beliefs of others.
Well, maybe your right.
But a lot of Christians are getting the idea that Mr. Buttigieg is rabidly Christophobic. To quell this, I would advise Petey to make a visit to San Antonio and assure Christian leaders like John Hagee that he thinks its great that they have their own religious beliefs and he has no intent of condemning them in any way
