@josephw said[1] I haven't referred to "all the Christians in the U.S.". Do you think I did?
How do you intend to get a confession from "all the Christians in the U.S."?
[2] The only one talking about the notion of "getting a confession" from anyone is you.
[3] The OP question remains unaddressed.

@fmf saidIs it sinning? I suppose this would depend on whether it was done knowingly or in ignorance.
Are all the Christians in the U.S. who insist that ex-President Trump won the 2020 election by a landslide "sinning"?
What I do know is 1. Donald Trump is no more a Christian than a cockroach would be. 2. Using the Bible as a political tool (which our beloved right wing loves to do) is roughly on the same moral level as child molestation.
@fmf saidHmmm...you're not getting it.
So using the Bible to support conservative values ~ such as an anti-abortion stance ~ is akin to molesting children?
The right wing is NOT using the Bible to support conservative values. The right wing is cherry picking only the parts of scripture they feel supports their political stance.

@mchill saidtheir political stance = conservative values
The right wing is NOT using the Bible to support conservative values. The right wing is cherry picking only the parts of scripture they feel supports their political stance.
And many of those values are derived from the Bible
Now explain why the molestation of children is an apt analogy.
Your rhetoric is as noxious as the rhetoric of those you oppose.

I'm trying to be polite here, so I'll give this a go: The molestation of children is a vile and reprehensible practice, as is using Gods inspired word for political gain. Got it now?
