What's the difference between a cultural Christian and a political Christian?

[Whitney Edwards]

I came across a debate in which someone was being referred to as a political Christian. I did not quite understand that.

A political Christian is someone who uses Christian beliefs to make policies. Christianity influences how they think governments and society should be run on issues like gay marriage, abortion, etc. 

Understood. Thank you.

They sometimes overlap.

Political Christians are people who want the government to get involved. They want laws to be changed that reflect Christian values.

And then Cultural Christians are people who don't really believe what the Bible says, but like SOME of the values in it. Jordan Peterson is an example of a cultural Christian. There are even people in the KKK, who are cultural Christians.

Alex O'Connor does an excellent job at calling out these types of Christians.

Cultural Christians really frustrate Atheists because many Atheists study the Bible very thoroughly and can smell a rat from a mile away.

it's kind of like "How am I supposed to debate you..........when you, yourself, don't even believe in the Bible?"

I would say A political Christian is someone who dosent want to evolve. They want to remain the same and will vote for anyone that is telling then things are going back or staying the same government wise.

A cultural Christian is someone who follows the faith that means it has nothing to do with politics knows God wants and demands change and dosent fight.

The reason Christians love Donald trump is because he is just saying things they like like we are going back in time to what America was. Less rules more open except for a few like abortion because they see abortion as murder. They do not care about suffering of things and should they? Life is about suffering life is about planting your face in shit and crying about it.

However they are also fighting God at the same time God demands change.

A cultural Christian is not fighting God.

Poltical Christians fat cheeseburger eating  pick up truck driving , trump loving.

Cultural Christian Bible loving Jesus loving peace loving quiet and honest.

Christians built the greatest nation in the world the most free nation and the safest nation ever in the history of mankind. Now its changing and the political Christians are fighting that change. They do not care if it destroys their country because they see it as destroyed already.

Guess what Christians this is not your land God owns it. God will do as he pleases.
