Are today's Democrats really anti-Christian?

Probably should have clarified what I meant by "today's democrats". Was thinking more along the lines of the number that have pushed further left so as to no longer possess basic Christian values.

Those at the far right probably don't have them either.

So long as we can stay focused on being hard on the issue, but easy on the person, I think we'll be OK. In other words, while AOC may look like a cross between Manson & Mr Ed, her or her handlers' points should be the primary takeaways of the post.

I think most of the ridicule is not over done, and is actually pretty funny at times. But I have to confess (get it, Luca?), I haven't given it much thought.

OK, I understand what you’re saying, but I’m not sure you understand what I’m saying ... or, rather, how I’m using my terms, so permit me to clarify.

first, when I read the question, I read it as applying to those (mostly) political figures who give lip service  to what they think Christians believe in order to curry favor with “us” (in other words, pander for votes).  Of course, not all democrats are anti- or even un-Christian and I, too, have friends who are both Christian and democrat, although I do believe they are wrong on a lot of the issues.  

For example, a hugely popular Christian writer, Rachel Held Evans, tragically passed away yesterday at the age of 37, leaving behind a husband and you g children.  She was pro choice even though she does believe life starts at birth.  Her reasoning, with which I disagree, was she doesn’t want us to go back to back-room abortions and thinks it is better to keep them legal, but educate them into a rarity.  I do not doubt she’s a Christian, even despite the fact she prefers to vote democrat because “their programs make more sense.” She even supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 because she was uncertain about Trumps sincerity.

i did not interpret that question to be asking about people like Ms.Evans, but about those democrats we see in the media all,the time.

Second, I do not broadly apply the term “Christian.”  I don’t accept membership in or even frequent attendance in a church building qualifies as an appropriate use of the term.  Jesus Christ died on the cross to redeem us and, to me, ONLY those who have given their lives to Him, regardless of which church building they inhabit (and even if none at all) merit the use of the term.  Lately, I have come to interchange the word “Christian” with the term “Christ-follower,” to avoid the inevitable assumption that “Christian” means “Church attender.”  

To clarify, I read the opening question as “are today’s Democrat [politicians and other liberal cause advocates] really anti [born again, followers of Jesus Christ] Christian?

I wouldn't define the terms so strictly. I would define a "Democrat" as somebody who is registered as a Democrat and generally votes that way. There are Democratic and Republican platforms but I don't know what percent of registered voters buy into those policies 100% down the line.

I'm not so sure about your definition of "Catholic" either. I was born and raised a Catholic and attended 21 years of Catholic schools, but I don't agree with every stance that the Vatican takes. I consider myself - perhaps mistakenly - a Catholic but I think there should be women priests and I don't support the Church stance on immigration, even though the point man on the issue in America is an archbishop who is a childhood friend of mine.

I don't think you have to be a purist to claim allegiance to a cause.........Luca

I think all you guys are overanalyzing the two words. In simplest terms:

A Christian is someone who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He came to earth in human form and died for our sins, and who tries as best he can to live his life in accordance with His teachings.

A Democrat is someone who is clinically mentally retarded.

Did Opus Dei Teach A.G. Barr to ‘Puts Away His Scruples’?

But recently, we learned that the current Attorney General has some links with highly secretive, ultra-conservative Catholic group Opus Dei. This relationship may help explain his apparent “ends justifies the means” strategy.

Just to recap, Opus Dei, literally meaning, "The Work of God" was founded in Spain 1928 by the priest Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer. He based its mission upon the idea that lay Catholics could achieve holiness without entering a religious order. It is a personal prelature – meaning that, unlike a diocese, is not territorial but is a combination of laity, clergy and prelates who undertake specific pastoral activities. It is known for recruiting very influential members, especially those simpatico with culturally conservative causes. To describe its many wealthy and powerful leaders as economic royalists would be an understatement.

It is no accident that Opus Dei coalesced in Franco's Spain. Even today rumors and stories persist about its involvement with Francisco Franco's forces from 1936 through 1939.
