So people want him to (1) believe that the Catholic faith is essential for eternal salvation but also (2) not care whether or not his wife is Catholic? That wouldn't make any sense. Of course any Catholic who cares about his loved ones is going to hope that they convert to Catholicism.
No one thinks he believes #1. Like most Republicans, he's very obviously not a true believer or he'd be acting differently regarding doing good for people, not just waving the Bible around when he does evil. Two actual Popes have said what he's involved in is wrong.
Au contraire
These people believe
They have faith
Which means their critical thinking skills are underdeveloped and they will believe any fucking thing their in-group believes
Their religion is white supremacy. Vance only figured that out after he got married, though.
As a wise man once said, "By their fruits shall you know them."
Hence “join Christianity” instead of “convert.” It’s about being in the right club to these people.
Marrying someone in the hopes that you will convert them is a dick move.
He married her and he wants her to convert, but there's no reason to think that he married her for the purpose of converting her.
Ok, well converting someone to christianity is a dick move in itself.🙃
Thats contrary to the basis of Islam and Christianity, which explicitly have always been about conversions.
Christians believe their God cares about and wants them to try to save everyone, they believe following the Christian God is the path to everlasting happiness, that's where the evangelism comes from- even when it takes a cruel form it is at least in theory a good intent(in practice of course often not).
Muslims believe their God wants all people to recognize and submit to the truth of himself, and that spreading this message is a duty.
Who gives a damn what the folks being assholes think, I don't think I'm in the wrong for wanting to commit a wee bit of genocide on the Mormons and Seventh Day Adventists doesn't mean I ain't a right grade A bastard for it.
Read the rules pls
