And Gay Marriage.
The litmus test for modern christianity starts at how opposed to abortion you are and ends at how much you want to make life hell for the LGBTQ community.
And this (along with women's ordination) is why my denomination is seriously considered as "anti-christian" by some. There's an angry YouTube video and everything. We watched it in seminary. And it's part of the reason why whenever I am asked what denomination I am with I respond "it's about as liberal as you can get and still be considered Christian by most other denominations".

Those are the big two, but I wouldn't discount other talking points, like:
- The government shouldn't help people, because that's the church's job
- Against non-Christian religions (especially when combined with poorly concealed racism)
- Anti-science (especially when combined with criticism of public schools)
- Things were better in the past
- Vague promises of money and getting richer
- Validation that feelings matter more than facts
American Christianity is as warped and insane as American democracy.

Georgia’s secretary of state says fellow Republicans are pressuring him to find ways to exclude legal ballots
"Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Monday that he has come under increasing pressure in recent days from fellow Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.), to question the validity of legally cast absentee ballots in an effort to reverse President Trump’s narrow loss in the state.
....
"The atmosphere has grown so contentious, Raffensperger said, that both he and his wife, Tricia, have received death threats in recent days, including a text to him that read: 'You better not botch this recount. Your life depends on it.'”
....
"Raffensperger has said that every accusation of fraud will be thoroughly investigated, but that there is currently no credible evidence that fraud occurred on a broad enough scale to affect the outcome of the election. "
...
"He said the hand-counted audit that began last week will also prove the accuracy of the Dominion machines; some counties have already reported that their hand recounts exactly match the machine tallies previously reported."
....
" Graham also asked whether Raffensperger had the power to toss all mail ballots in counties found to have higher rates of nonmatching signatures, Raffensperger said."
Lindsey Graham wants to throw out ALL votes from any counties that were lenient in what they considered a matching signature.

Not according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Trump could gain nearly 800 net votes from the discovered ballots. There were 1,643 new votes for Trump and 865 for Biden. "
There's a lot of misinformation going around. I looked this up because there are a lot of tweets that don't understand what "net" means.
She is an absolute piece of shit, so it definitely wasn't too much.
I don't why we're supposed to think she's intelligent when she's never heard of glam rock.

Should he be available.
My response was referring to the fact that he might be otherwise engaged behind bars.
