&quot;It just appears to me that many people here want to disenfranchise Bible-based Christians&quot;


No, what they want is for these &quot;bible-based christians&quot;  to stop thinking they get special treatment simply because they are christian.  That they are allowed to wave their bibles and declare laws they don&#039;t like don&#039;t apply to them.  




&quot;the accusation of him wanting to investigate the Bidens activities in Ukraine out of fear that Biden would definitely beat him in elections seriously lacks merits.&quot;


again you misrepresent the facts.   What Trump did was abuse the power of his office in an attempt at personal political gain.]]></description>

And I clarified that by great, I meant rather specific policies of Trump, especially religious freedom and freedom of speech.  It doesn&#039;t mean that I condone everything that he does.  It just appears to me that many people here want to disenfranchise Bible-based Christians hence they see Trump as a threat because he has been advocating on our behalf. 

I agree with the Senate&#039;s decision, the accusation of him wanting to investigate the Bidens activities in Ukraine out of fear that Biden would definitely beat him in elections seriously lacks merits. I wonder if Biden is doing so poorly in the primaries because after watching the impeachment trial of Trump, the public started to believe that Joe might have been doing something inappropriate in Ukraine indeed and if he publicly addresses this issue,  would voters increase their support for him?]]></description>

That certainly isn&#039;t the impression you give.  At the beginning of this thread you wrote: 




&quot;because our great President Trump got acquitted over bogus accusation of being involved in the Ukrainian affair&quot;


that isn&#039;t a comment from someone simply picking &quot;the lesser evil&quot; but rather someone blindly defending the inappropriate behavour of a sitting president.]]></description>

Sanders couldn&#039;t care less why Hawkins resigned from Wheaton.  It should be noted that it was a private religious institution.  But he made a bigoted assumption that  because Vought has published a statement on Wheaton&#039;s website stating their school&#039;s position on Islam, that he hates Muslims therefore he is unfit to work for federal government supported by our taxpayers&#039; money.  So in this regard, Sanders did use a religious test.  It&#039;s different compared to private organizations such as Wheaton.  I wonder if Sanders has the same view on all Bible-based Christians that he has on Vought.]]></description>
