Marjorie Taylor Greene branded a bigot after she questions Mike Johnson's Christian faith

[Grim Reaper 6]

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's onslaught against Speaker Mike Johnson continued into Wednesday, March 27, as she called him out over his Christian values in a lengthy rant on social media. She also slammed members of the House GOP who voted for the two minibus spending bills, which she firmly opposed on the floor, and the passing of which resulted in her filing a motion to remove Johnson as Speaker on March 22. Taking to the social media platform X, the US Representative for Georgia wrote, "@SpeakerJohnson you can't follow Christ and fund full term abortion clinics. That's the inconvenient truth."

"And EVERY Republican in my conference that voted for the $1.2 TRILLION woke, trans ideology, DEI, Open Border Policy, abortion ABOMINATION omnibus that is upset with me, YOU should be outraged that your Speaker made you walk that plank for him in order to pay our military soldiers," she continued. "Instead, under Speaker Johnson the House showed them a future Republican Party that not only did NOT listen to its voters, reminded them that the Swamp has its ways and will never change unless it is forced," she said.

Like a broken watch, she isn’t wrong, you can’t be a Christian and support abortion.

I didn't know that. The UK is a Christian country (the CofE) yet we permit legal abortions.

Her entire rant is based upon the fact that Speaker Johnson worked with Democrats to pass the recent spending bill.

She is intentionally lying because Mike Johnson is Anti-Abotion across board 

So Green is toally wrong.

The American Christians that oppose abortion are the Evangelicals, who are very strongly into biblical interpretation. Because, not Christians oppose Abortion,

Well yeah they kinda do. According to the Bible it would be better for a person to tie themselves to a large rock and cast themselves into the sea then to hurt a little one.

Pfft … what do you expect from a group of schismatics whose entire church exists so a fat king could get laid?

Which relies on the belief that a cluster of cells constitutes a child.

I don't remember that part of the Bible personally.

The alternative being a group of fat old priests who made up their church to consolidate power and threw out any passages they didn't personally like?

Or in its modern incarnation, the respectable face of child molestors?

Are we all not a cluster of cells? Does not a cluster of cells fall short in description? 
 

Do you remember the part in the Bible where it says God knew us before we even got to the womb?

If you have a problem with God take it up with him. Just don’t try to sell me that Christianity supports abortion. 
 

it’s funny how nasty you folks get at the idea folks could be held responsible for their actions. Heck really this whole woke movement is just a massive display of a collective God complex. In some cases it’s as though they think they have power over reality.

For a person, yes. For a lump of biological matter with no sentience, not really.

Yes, by that logic we should be having sex at the same rate we produce sperm.

Are you keeping up or are you killing unborn children?

Aren’t we all a cluster of cells? 
Where do you set the limit? For example, a one-year-old child is far from being independent.

Science begs to differ.  Calling said person “a clump of cells” falls way short of the amazing complexity that exists in the first stages of life. There is nothing physically that cant be known about them reading their unique DNA.

Thought provoking and concise response. I like it. 👍 

Though, as a Christian, my response to the sentience argument is that we’re actually discussing measurable sentience, which is measured by science and equipment that’s limited by our current knowledge. I believe it’s very likely that in the near future, sentience will be clearly evident and measurable at the moment of conception.

I guess any woman who’s had more than one period is a serial killer then.

Wouldn't it make more sense to take it up with those who defend your morally bankrupt ideology?

Funny how when it comes to the Christian Right accusations are confessions.

I'm not sure this is entirely accurate. Henry Vlll only started to put on weigh at the age of 44 (he died when he was 55) after a jousting accident left him with limited mobility. Prior to that he played real tennis and took part in other active sports. So he was probably pretty trim. Our image of him is coloured by one very famous portrait towards the end of his life.

Funny how all life is sacred until said cluster of cells, y'know, commits adultery or something.

Then suddenly everyone's ok with late-term abortions.

No, you've got it all wrong. All the notable Christians paying off their mistresses abortions have now repented. Just like that! Probably even right after pressuring them into it! They flipped that big red "Repentance" lever, and they're back in business, baby!

The ways of the Lord are mysterious.

On the topic of Dino Mike's Christian faith, he's at least wrapped up in it enough to postulate ridiculous things like young-Earth creationism, so he at least is willing to in-group signal.

You need a source to know that the first cells of a new life have their own unique DNA? Or did you just feel the need to say something? 
 

Even more so they don’t only have their own DNA, a literal blueprint mapping their entire future physical make up, they also have a work crew called RNA who reads that blueprint and goes to work building said person. 
 

If you don’t know this basic knowledge, if you need a source to prove it to you, you don’t belong in this conversation.

I need a source to say they are sentient, which for me is the point you can define a person as alive.

You can build as many strawmen as you like but I won't be dictated to by religious extremists.
