Shouldn't Biden's open support of taxpayer-funded abortion at ANY phase including infanticide (Google it) bother sincere Christians?

OF COURSE it's the woman's right to choose ... WHETHER TO SPREAD HER LEGS. Beyond that point biology takes over. Neither she nor Obama has the right to let a viable newborn die on the slab just because Mommy Dearest no longer wants it.

You have all completely missed the point. This isn't about whether abortion is good or bad, it is about the character of the candidates. Justall made the case that Trump's behavior is disqualifying. I have contrasted Trump's undisputed bad behavior with what I regard as the far worse characteristics of Biden/ Harris. Biden has convinced himself that it is OK to extinguish human life in large numbers. It is the height of hypocrisy and clearly demonstrates that he is unprincipled. There may be many reasons to favor Biden over Trump. Character is not one of them.

CB, The Catholic Church is the largest provider of assistance to disadvantaged people in the world. Tens of thousands of Catholics dedicate their lives to helping those less fortunate, often at great personal risk. You would have seen that first hand if you had spent as much time as I have in the 3rd world. Other religious organizations perform similar work. You may wish to do some research before offering disparaging comments.

Actually, Joe Biden's acceptance of Roe vs. Wade signals the fact that he respects the law despite what his personal position might be about abortion. In my view, that highlights the strength of his character, particularly as a public servant in government.

Sometimes I think that religious folks feel that their beliefs must trump and overrule everything in life. Yet, given the importance of the separation between church and state as outlined in our Constitution, we must remember that a public servant has the obligation and responsibility to set aside their religious beliefs when it comes to following the law.

That's seemingly a tough task for some from the right that want us to be a Christian nation that is ruled and rooted in the Bible, or conveniently, what they might interpret it to mean.

Well there you have it. Gybe says Joes character is “far worse“ than Dons. I just barfed in your general direction.

You missed my point. You have applied a judgement of Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris based on YOUR interpretation of Christianity.

My point with many Catholics, and Christians in general, is that they are, often, selective about what tenets of the religion they accept for themselves. That's fine with me. Where I take issue is judging others on how they reconcile their faith with their work or their lifestyle.

The teachings of Christ are not compatible with accumulation of great wealth. Yet, you have reconciled this for yourself (We all have great wealth relative to the rest of the world). That is not a criticism. If you can reconcile your wealth as a Christian, how can you criticize Biden for his reconciliation of supporting choice?

Well said Swchandler. And it certainly leads to why the right is so against Muslims holding political offices.
