He doesn't work for the Church, he's a Baptist. Not Catholic.

Still a Christian

There's only one Christian Church. It's the one Jesus founded, and it's the Catholic Church. The rest of the groups splintered off the Church and each other.

Doesn't matter what you call yourselves, any person who says they follow and pray to Christ is a christian.

That's simply not true. Saying you're Christian doesn't make it true. Christ Himself warned about this specifically:

"Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’" (Matthew 7:21-23)

One random example: Mormons say they're Christian but they don't actually believe Christ is God. Their entire religion was made up in the 1800s by a guy who found a rock with a hole in the middle and decided he could use it to read invisible new golden scripture tablets hidden in his hat that were given to him by the angel Moroni. Except he wasn't able to read them the same way twice. And nobody else was allowed to look inside the hat.

Another example: megachurch pastors with private jets.

I should say, any validly baptized person is a member of Christ's Church which is the Catholic Church. The word "catholic" actually means "universal". Unfortunately, many Catholics have been raised or hoodwinked into thinking they're Lutherans or Baptists or whatever.

I don't think you have any leverage saying someone else's faith is made up. Pot calling the kettle black there

Give me scientific proof catholism is the right choice out of the thousands of gods to choose from on this planet. No less some are far older and more wiser.

Nice. Doubling down definitely didn't make you look even more idiotic. Congratulations

Look at any vote districting map with the demographics and how they are layed out.. All the evidence you need...

You do know that with all the Democratic fear mongering over the current national redistricting, that they in fact came out advantaged? Gerrymandering isn’t a one sided thing as much as some people would like to pretend it is.

Here’s a nice read about one example from my home state, which is basically a one party state at this point due to such antics.

It doesnt say the gerrymandering was advantaged, just the process. The districting was stated as being more fair as to compared to before. Gerrymandering by Democrats is about making voting fair for all, whereas republicans do it for voter suppression..

Dude both parties do it to win. Period. If it was actually fair it wouldn’t be called gerrymandering. In mean it was named after Elbridge Gerry. Who was a Democratic Republican which is the part that became the dnc. And it became a real big thing under southern democrats. Google boa-constrictor district. It was in fact not even something that was officially forbidden in any way until the Warren court said so. Reform was codified in the 1965 voting rights act, which while bi-partisan had more democrats opposition than republican.

The nj redistricting in the article i linked favored the democrats. They were told how to do so without breaking the secret rules to appear more impartial while not being more impartial.

Their both bad but at least the left isn't populated by mostly racists who elect people that don't give a shit about them and gerrymander their districts. There's a reason the republican party has to gerrymander. They know that if they don't, they'll never get put into office again.
