In 2012, the last election Democrats won, a headline from their convention read: "Democrats boo God." In 2016, they heckled a preacher during the opening prayer. It's a perception they've been trying to change since, especially on the 2020 campaign trail. (Snip) The DNC hired former Washington, D.C. anti-Trump pastor, Rev. Derrick Harkins, who held a similar position in 2012 and has been the senior vice president of Union Theological Seminary in New York City, which recently celebrated "rejoicing in the queerness of God."

Here's their problem: They don't believe in God, unless of course Islam is involved, in which case the rest of the country is discriminating against them.
Second problem: They believe they are gods.

Third problem, they love killing babies. Fourth problem, they worship perversion. Fifth problem, they lie and seem to worship the father of lies.

I hope the good Reverend took a high up-front retainer from the DNC and got an abestos lined coffin for eternity. He'll need both.

Sixth problem: they might have to read the Bible. I especially recommend from beginning to end. . .

I have long opined that you can not be a Christian and be a Democrat. The two are diametrically opposed.

The party of socialism thinks it can address all of the world's problems with more government control in the hands of a few of the "annointed ones" who do not subject themselves to the Divine Sovereignty of the Almighty.
They pick and choose ONLY those verses in Scripture they think they can twist into supporting their OWN agenda points of view.
Now they are going to try to get a Rev Hawkins to make people believe in Atheism? Falling for the tricks of propaganda instead of The Word?

Rev. Derrick Harkins was an Obama advisor, so "rejoicing in the queerness of God." makes sense. (actually makes no sense) This will fly like a lead balloon.

How do you fix a problem like Maria? Democrats have a God problem when elections roll around. How do you spin people who can't be spun. Welcome to Trump country. Call up all the black preachers in your rolodex, haul out your best Y'ALL accent and go to hell.

God is not a problem. It's you Godless Leftists that are the problem. If you all ceased to exist tomorrow I would not shed one tear.

The left believes in state run religion. Look at China. Look at the Islamic countries. There are plenty of clergy that would be happy to be at the front of a state run religion, being in charge and being in power. There are people that would be happy to follow a state run religion provided it benefits them.

Can the leopard change his spots? No, what this "outreach" is about is trying to fool the faithful.

I believe it's a Satan problem. Is any preacher up to that battle? The murder of children is about as low as the bar goes on the right/wrong scale.

I don't like it when preachers drag politics into the pulpit. I don't like it when pols drag religion onto the campaign stage. It is bad enough when conservatives do this. When the Lefties do it, it smells worse than a baby's diaper rotting right underneath your nose.

The Democrats' "God problem" is not solved by public a public relations consultant it solved by where you put your faith.

To add to #1's post, they don't believe in God, but they do believe that THEY have the right to take His place by making up their own rules and calling the shots, not only for themselves but for everyone else, too!
It's just another rendition of "every man did what was right in his own eyes."

The Dems might appeal to the leftist clergy who preside over empty churches. Hiring someone to cater to them won’t give the Dems much bang for their buck. Then again, Dems are used to throwing away money, so they might not notice...or care.

There are all types of religion. But the one true religion says the only way to the Father is through the Son. Disregard the words of Christ at your on peril.

When your religion is "secularism", and your god is "government", then the Demon-Rats have always been very true to their religion and god!!!!
Has anyone noticed that most of them don't even waste time doing photo-ops at Christian churches any more? Hey, if they are going to be pure evil, at least be honest about it!!!!

Proverbs 6:16-19
16 There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
Sound familiar to anyone?
I wouldn’t want to be on the short list of the people God hates.

I suppose the "religious left" is a possibility but a Christian left not so much.

Years ago, Bathhouse sent his "religion guy", some Black Liberation Theology putz, to meet with our pastor. It did not go well.
