But Salon.com hates us.\u00a0 It in no way hides the fact.\u00a0 And it\u2019s consistent.\u00a0 It hates Pope Francis, too.\u00a0 Just like any Christian who hasn\u2019t jettisoned the entirety of the Faith to embrace the secular left.\u00a0 While many to the Left have had a love fest with Francis and hope, that by focusing on his more liberal sounding conversations, they can simply sweep that other Catholic stuff under the carpet, Salon will have none of it.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

And so it\u2019s not surprising that Salon considers being a Christian as disqualifying one from holding the office of the presidency<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 Salon represents that refreshing radicalism of the left that makes it clear it wants a secular, leftists totalitarian state that embraces censorship and brutally oppresses and ostracizes people of faith.\u00a0 It hates believers.\u00a0None of this \u2018we don\u2019t hate Christians, we just disagree with\u2026\u2019\u00a0rubbish. \u00a0Nope.\u00a0\u00a0 It hates believers and wants them outa here.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Like a Presbyterian minister friend I had once told me, Jesus commands us to love our enemies, forgive our enemies and pray for our enemies.\u00a0 But at no time does He suggest that in doing so, they will automatically cease to be our enemies.\u00a0 Words to ponder in light of\u00a0Taylor\u2019s clear manifesto against people of faith being able to lead the country they want to conquer.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
