    Mike Johnson isn’t a “bad” person, but we can form a pattern from his actions and words. He’s likely a person who is using religion for his personal gain, just like many religious leaders likely are.

    I’d say that a Christian is a person who follows Christ. It’s not complicated. Religion has been used by those who hold power to oppress and control the masses for centuries - this is nothing new.

      It is utterly insane to me you can verbatim say

      Mike Johnson isn’t a “bad” person

      Not only because you just, a few comments ago, accused me of defending him, but just on its face.

      How is a man doing his best to deprive millions of healthcare, starve children and support a Christo whitenationalist fascist regime headed by a pedophile not a bad person???

      I am utterly befuddled at your moral compass.

      I’d say that a Christian is a person who follows Christ. It’s not complicated.

      Sure it’s not complicated if not for the many complications I’ve already listed but you’ve just decided to keep ignoring.

      At this point you keep responding but refuse to address anything I’ve said so what point is there?

      Wasn’t one of your reasons for not responding that you said it wasn’t worth your time?

      Religion has been used by those who hold power to oppress and control the masses for centuries - this is nothing new.

      And yet none of this is an explanation for how Mike Johnson or any number of other powerful figures who do things you disagree with aren’t Christian.
