re: #455 thedopefishlives

I was incredulous when one of my fundamentalist Christian friends announced on his Facebook that he was supporting Newt for President. Seriously, my jaw dropped to the floor. I could not understand how any Christian, in good conscience, could back a racist, philandering asshat who got kicked out of his own party for ethics violations.

There’s a Russian joke about that: if you don’t sin, you don’t repent, if you don’t repent, you won’t get saved. I get that this doesn’t work in the Protestant context with emphasis on faith, and not works, but it seems like they love them some flawed leaders.
