    'Creepy' is subjective, but it's no surprise that you don't find DeSantis's ad creepy. It was aimed at people like you. I would have hoped you might think it was exploitative and maybe even blasphemous but I guess not.

    I havent watched the commercial. I was responding from a place where I couldnt have the volume up.

    I just hate the overuse of the word creepy. My girls use it to describe every male human that isnt 22 or younger .

    The vast majority of Christians support the most degenerate and morally bankrupt individual to ever despoil the White House, a cruel man who is a sociopath and narcissist. So, what "different values" do Christians possess?

    The rest of your post about liberals is pure horse manure. Left and right verbally brawl here and elsewhere. If one side is guilty of being zealots, so is the other in equal measure. The ONLY exception is criticism of Trump. I agree with Lacuna: anyone who supports Trump and professes to be a Christian has indeed lost his or her bearing.

    I make no apology for that position. If that sounds holier than thou to you, that's your problem

    Culture war against "transgenderism" [sic].

    Fixed it for you since insecure and narrow -minded conservatives, some daring to call themselves Christians, started said "war".

    Middle aged men are creepy to teenage girls, for a very justifiable reason.

    It’s not silly and cute to have a middle aged man creeping on teenagers...

    I think you mean the vast majority of white, Evangelical Christians.

    And pubs bring it up at every opportunity, not realizing how bereft their quiver is.

    If those are the only ones who fit the bill, yes, I do.

    Don't think it's worth vilifying all Christians. A lot of people of color are Christians. They largely voted against Trump. It's particular groups of white Christians who love Trump and what he stands for.

    In terms of politicians, Christianity certainly isn’t sending its best. They’re sending us blasphemers, grifters, liars, and pedo’s… and some i assume are good people.

    Get off my case, man! Where do you see me "vilifying all Christians"? I thought it was obvious I was referring to those who profess Christian values yet support Trump, who possesses none of them. Saying you're a Christian doesn't make you one.

    You're right. You said the "vast majority," which is why I felt the need to disagree.
    Most White Americans who regularly attend worship services voted for Trump in 2020

    I fear he truly believes it, and like DT, DeSantis surrounds himself with people who tell him what he wants to hear. If they don't, they don't stick around. He lives in an echo chamber that he and his handlers carefully control to reinforce his belief that he is here to save us.
