#1 Subtle shades of Christianity baffle me. As long as he's not walking around with rattlers on his arms or forbidding scientific medicines I think the nation can handle whatever flavor he is.

#2 I was going to say "big deal", and then I remembered that, for these people, Christians are worse than ISIS.

#3 According to his LinkedIn page, the editorialist is a computer etnrelreneur, and a Republican activist since high school. Clearly he hopes the Republican presidential candidate will not be Senator Cruz. From the blurb at the bottom of this editorial:

He is a seasoned political operative who has led numerous statewide political groups and has worked on several high-profile local, statewide, and national races. Jacob has been interviewed on national television & radio programs, with his work having been featured in the Orlando Sentinel, New York Times, Washington Post, Miami Herald and other publications nationwide.

#4 Is that all that your tens of million of dollars in attack ads got you?

#5 Pentecostals do not believe Christians are worse than ISIS. Pentecostals are Christians, of the holy-roller type.

#6 I was talking about people who wrote this, corporal.

#7 This article has been the Drudge headline all day. Drudge has been boosting for Trump. Kind of like CNN, Fox, MSNBC and all the others.

Kind of makes you wonder - should I be voting for the guy CNN wants me to vote for? Hmmm.

#8 The establishment GOP really hates Cruz. Probably more than they hate evangelicals. GOPe, this is how you got Trump.

#9 At least the Pentecostals are Christians, unlike, say, our current Pope Omerta.

#10 computer etnrelreneur

computer entrepreneur. My internal editor has been on strike since I came down with the cold from hell a few weeks ago. I'm now recovering, which means I eventually notice how badly I typed. Apologies to all.

#12 All Christians believe in the Pentecost. Conservative Christians understand it for what it was. A major festival in Jerusalem where Jewish people from many near by nations and of different languages of those nations came together to celebrate a major feast. The new Christian church was given the power by the Holy Spirit of the Trinity to speak to these people in their own languages of the recent events associated with the Crucifixion and Resurrection and therefore these people in Jerusalem would go back home and spread the news to the whole world. Thus the establishment of the New Covenant and the news thereof to the world.

The tongues thing is a major misinterpretation I don't consider Ted to be of that level of ignorance, as the author wants people to believe.
