Hillary considers herself a Christian,

[Unknown Beatle]

if that's the case, she's not only morally bankrupt but spiritually bankrupt as well.

Have you ever heard Stevie Ray Vaughn play? The reason he was so good, fantastic blues player was because he put a lot of soul behind his guitar playing. Then you have two blues guitar players, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Jonny Lang, and they know how to play blues. The problem with these two, while they're proficient guitar players, is that they lack soul. Don't get me wrong, they're great blues guitarists, but without soul, it comes out as if they're just going through the motions of playing guitar, no oomph.

The same can be said of Hillary, she's a politician without soul. And when she speaks, it shows. No oomph.

Sanders, on the other hand, is an honest politician with soul.

Sanders, a politician with oomph.





That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

1. Well,

isn't that special.

[murielm99]

2. You don't get to decide who is a Christian any more than

all the right-wing fundie Christians who judge other people's religious beliefs.

Ugh! What a judgmental and disgusting post.

[merrily]

6. The OP didn't purport to decide who is a Christian.

3. people like you make DU suck

just imagine someone posted that Bernie isn't a real jew. Yea, that would last for all of a second.

[merrily]

7. The OP seems to be condemning all Christians, not saying HRC is not a real one.

[draa]

4. You're all right by me UB. I love SRV.

Much like with Lennon I fully remember where I was at and what I was doing when Vaughn died. Sad fucking day and another one lost. it's just something you don't forget if you love music.

Stevie Ray Vaughn is my favorite artist period. No one better, and if I had to take any music to my grave it would be his. K+R.

5. Christian is what all Presidents so far have claimed. The Fellowship/Family is much more troubling.

8. Christianity is a cult, but if makes people feel better to believe in a

jealous God then by all means go ahead.

9. So now some BS supporters "know" who

has a soul and who doesn't?

DU looks more and more like Freeperland in too many ways. It's getting very hard to tell the difference.

If anyone around here has lost their souls, it is those who purport that ONLY they and their candidate have them.

10. The OP really went over your head, didn't it?

Soul, as in feeling, understanding, having a grasp of something you feel deeply about. Not the actual part of a person that is believed to give life to the body, not that kind of soul.

It's not like either you have a soul or you don't, it's like either you have soul or you don't. See the difference?

15. Your parsing of my comments

does not change my opinion.

Buh-bye.

[trueblue2007]

11. w r o n g . BUCKOO. You can't see into someone's head heart. You have no idea who's Christian

and who is not.

And I'm laffing my butt off at your post. lololol.... you can tell who's Christian and who isn't. Haw, haw.

THOU SHALT NOT JUDGE, LEST YE BE JUDGED.

[Unknown Beatle]

12. Oh Yeah

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Jesus tells us what to watch for in identifying them. Because they are so extremely deceptive and dangerous ravenous spiritual and moral wolves in sheep’s clothing-the Lord would hardly have left us without means of determining who they are.

16. How do you define who is a Christian and who isn't ?

Thank you in advance.

17. Hillary has said she's a Christian.

Her actions exhibit anything but christian behavior.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. I don't even know how to answer...

As a Christian I wouldn't even attempt to say who is and isn't one. Only God knows what is in our hearts.

13. Bernie has core values that are decades old

Hillary has the values of a politician desperate to get elected, winning is the only thing, even if it takes train loads of Wall Street campaign donations.

With the recent loss of David Bowie, I wonder why Stevie Ray Vaughn was not mentioned for his time with David? might have something to do with Steve quitting when Bowie got 6 or 7 figure money for Steve Wozniak's 80's "Us festival", where David took in money by the wheelbarrow full and paid his musicians union scale?

14. I don't quite understand the argument

It seems like a problem with 'an undistributed middle' that connects the claimed premise to the examples given.

Which is to say I am not sure the connection between soul in music an unstated soul/spiritual status of christianity and a spiritually bankrupt Clinton is actually made by your post.

If your point is Bernie's campaign and person demonstrates more emotional commitment than Clinton's campaign and Clinton, I might agree with you. But that case seems to have little to do with christianity, and I'd need to bring my own evidence for that opinion because you haven't given any.

IMO it's an interesting notion to link to the musical idea but you need to fill in the middle to complete the comparisons
