I am definitely not a Christian but I find that statement blatantly ridiculous and counterfactual. A Christian will hold a firm set of values for their entire life, whether or not they actually practice those values (not a Christian-specific problem). The average Brooklyn liberal will give Lindsey Graham or Biden a run for their money on flip flopping as the breeze changes.
- kuhewa 5y agoThe only value they necessarily hold is that faith alone yields salvation, i.e. fuck up all you want if you ask for forgiveness. maybe you can include some obvious ones like 'dont murder'.

- drnonsense42 5y agoThis reads more like a haphazardly-inserted, boring and vanilla anti-Trump virtue signal rather than a thoughtful critique on Christian values.

- dragonwriter 5y ago> I am definitely not a Christian but I find that statement blatantly ridiculous and counterfactual. I am a Christian, and stop trying to use Christians as a target of the “noble savage” trope. > A Christian will hold a firm set of values for their entire life Not more likely than anyone else. > whether or not they actually practice those values If a belief you state doesn't guide your decision-making, it's not a value just a PR position. But Christians also, while remaining Christians, can drift around a pretty broad space of even public moral positions. > The average Brooklyn liberal will give Lindsey Graham or Biden a run for their money on flip flopping as the breeze changes. It's interesting that the people you use as touchstones of flipflopping, despite your claim that Christians are universally steadfast, are both Christians.
