    Interesting! Can you identify the instance?
    Or are you committing the transgression yourself?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Why are we limiting it to "since being President?" Does Christianity absolve you of anything you did prior to winning elected office?

    I find your question curious. When people voted for Trump, what did they have to go on besides his pre-Presidency actions and comments?

    She's probably OK, the problem is impact on early pregnancy.

    Trump isn't a Christian, he just plays one on TV.

    I can say this, I've never seen a President more deserving of such hounding, investigations, prosecutions and and otherwise antagonizing. I've also never seen a President who was so successful at thwarting investigations.

    No, he's not a Christian. A Christian follows Christ's teachings of helping the disadvantaged.

    I almost always stay out of pure religious discussion. I'm an atheist and I see no profit in it....and that's the first time, in a long time, I've defined myself in any religious context

    but you keep asking what Trump has done that goes against Christianity...well, let me take a crack at it and certainly christians can correct me if I have it wrong:

    the fundamental tenant of christianity is to repent of your sins. Can't be one without doing the other. Trump's life is a litany of selfish, greedy, sociopathic, ego-driven sins. I don't think he's ever repented of a single one. To repent is the smallest, easiest step to take and all it requires is just a little humility and a little empathy for others you've sinned against. Trump can't do it because he has not one smidgen of either.

    That is the opposite of Christianity, or at least it's supposed to be. But as we've seen over the last 3+ years, there's a hell of a lot of so-called christians who reject just about everything Christ stood for.

    that has not surprised me a bit....I always knew that was the case. I guess I apologize to any real Christians that offends, but I'm talking about trump and his unwavering evangelical base

    Sorry, I don't recall this conversation. I'm sure I made the remark but I just don't recall the context. Must not have been a big deal.

    Repenting for major sins is not only a hallmark of Christians is just plain healthy for anyone regardless of their religious beliefs. It regularly saves my marriage.

    I'm an atheist raised in an observant Jewish home in a community overwhelmingly Christian, so I have seen religion from several angles. And I find it hard to imagine anyone more the epitome of the Seven Deadly Sins than Trump.

    Now. We just don't know how the virus impacts early fetal development. I thinks it's very likely some research on animal models is going on right now, but as of now we just don't have data. So women might well conclude they don't want to take the risk of having a child right now. But ABM says not their choice, it's HIS choice. His and the "brothers", Republican governors and Trump. Because women are just too stupid to know what's best for themselves. Besides, they shouldn't have gotten themselves pregnant, right?

    Well, that's putting it a little blunt, but you are essentially correct. It is the woman's choice. I would hope that she would take into account her partner's feelings as well as her doctor, her clergyman and perhaps others but it all boils down to the fact that, right or wrong, it's her body and her choice.
