    "Give me that old time mammon up the wazoo!"

    [​IMG]
    .
    "Why has thou forsaken ME?"

    As the insensitive, hyper-sensitive vessel that Republicans nominated to lead the nation demonstrates his unique version of Christian charity toward the handicapped, those who are otherwise afflicted, and especially the dispossessed amongst others, the reality tv performer still finds time to practice what he preaches: “Verily, I say unto you, go forth and “Grab them by the p*ssy! You can do anything!”

    Along their sudden road-to-hypocrisy conversion to the doctrine of hedonistic moral relativism, the righteous unbuckle their bible belts and cavort in their ecstatic dirty dancing with the devil.

    What might occasion their spiritual epiphany? Their sordid embrace of the behavior formerly know as “sin”?

    Morality is consigned to the back of the bus when profane politics comes on board for these latitudinarian lickspittles. Their vainglorious vehicle is thrown into reverse and the dissonant beep, beep, beep siren song of expedience drowns out the angelic cadences of the seraphim.

    “The puke will nominate tight-assed justices that will give the State absolute control of wombs!” is a demonic accommodation that exposes the priorities of the great pretenders to piety.

    They never leave home for their Gethsemane assignations without their tic-tacs®.

    I am looking for something to demonstrate the idea for gobbledygook. May I borrow this?

    If you don't see the OP as pretty clearly communicating the idea that Christians approving Trump defines hypocrisy then I must submit you are being blinded by a Giant Orange Flare.

    Oh his message is clear but the route he chose to get there is horrible. And doesn't show any sort f hypocrisy at all. In fact about all it does is prove his own. I am as a Christian not required to sit on the side lines and allow children to be killed because the only candidate who agrees with my views on the subject is less than perfect in fact if I have to wait for some one perfect to come along I won't be able to vote at all. This is not hypocrisy it is recognition of reality.

    I think Hillary probably hates Evangelicals even more than she hates Catholics, whereas Trump fights for the average guy, is going to bring our jobs back and make America Great Again. Voting for Hillary is like voting for the Evil Empire in Starwars. We are most definitely with the Rebel forces over here in Trumpland!

    And of course Hillary is War Monger Scum. How come the Clinton Foundation pays women less than men?

    And how come she is married to and has for her lifetime enabled a guy who might as well be Bill Cosby? Nah, Evangelicals want nothing to do with her, and her lies! She floods the airwaves with lies like her motorcade floods the streets with illegally dumped sewage.

    How come you are voting for lying polluting woman-abusing war monger scum?

    In fairness, it should be acknowledged that the craven, faustian accommodation the two-faced geezers have embraced is repugnant to the principled youth who are not hellbent upon politicians seizing control of wombs.

    Two quick points.

    First, everyone should understand that all sin and fall short of the glory of God. Trump and Hillary are flawed. So are you and I. Try not to get all "holier than thou" on us...

    Second, God clearly makes use of whomever he wants to, in whatever ways he wants to.

    - Abraham was too old
    - Sarah laughed at God’s promise.
    - Moses killed a man, stuttered, and questioned God's judgment in picking him.
    - David was too young, his armor didn’t fit right, he killed a man, and he had an affair.
    - Hosea’s wife was a prostitute.
    - Amos’ only training was in the school of fig-tree pruning.
    - Jacob was a liar.
    - Lazarus? He was dead.
    - John was a bit self-righteous.
    - The Apostle Paul spent his early life as Saul killing the followers of Christ.
    - Jeremiah was depressed and suicidal.
    - Samson didn't wear a suit and had long hair.
    - Noah had issues with drinking.

    In Judges 15:15, in which we learn how Samson defeats the Philistines, we read:

    (New American Standard translation)

    So let's be clear: God can use the jawbone of an ass to accomplish what he needs done. Is it so crazy to believe He might make use of someone like Donald Trump?

    In the words and logic of Anderson Cooper "That is sexual assault".

    You are seemingly on here making fun of what is a very serious issue. Do you think that sexual assault is funny ?

    I think you will find that the vast majority of people who are voting for Trump, including myself simply do not care.

    I have no idea whether you think sexual assault funny. I do not, nor have I ever indicated otherwise.

    I do derive a modicum of amusement in watching the self-appointed arbiters of morality kowtowing to the conspicuously depraved to further a purely political agenda.

    No matter what religion, if any, one might fancy, hypocrisy transcends sectarian niceties.

    Most Christians do not pretend that mindless, microscopic entities are "children" - even the mindless, microscopic entities that have the potential to develop into them.

    Again, supporting a moral degenerate as defined by one's own strict standards to further a purely political agenda (Giving politicians control of wombs from the instant of conception is not the proper recourse when your powers of persuasion fail) is hardly a spiritual mission.

    Of course, not all evangelicals make such a bargain with the devil, and speak out against those that do.

    I am a Christian and I will be voting for Trump. We are limited to a choice between Trump and Hillary, Trumps comes closest to what I believe in. To me Hillary represents John Edwards two America's. One where a sailor taking a selfie in a Nuclear Subs engine room and other American's go to jail for mis-handling even the slightest amount of Classified questionably material and the other America by and for the political elite where Hillary can go scott free after gross negligence in handling far more classified material then run for President. What ever will you do when that political elite considers YOU a danger to the state?

    You are analogizing a political choice with sexual assault. Your cavalier comparison of the two is highly offensive. You do realize that is sexual assault you are talking about right ? Do you think that it is fair to the millions of women whom have been the victim of sexual assault to minimize their horror because you wanted to make a tongue in cheek political point ? I find it abhorrent. You are waging a war on women and its disgusting.

    Cogent survey of "born agains":

    (The study https://juicyecumenism.com/2016/10/21/trump-clinton-authentically-christian/ predates the reality tv performer's boasts of lewd behavior and so many women attesting to it.)

    Where and how did I address the matter of sexual assault? In quoting the reality tv performer verbatim?

    Please quote my words so that I can understand what you are talking about.

    I see that the reality tv performer has delivered his Gettysburg Address in which he raved that he would sue all the women who have publicly attested to the truthfulness of his candid description of his behaviour to Hollywood icon Billy Bush.

    I suspect that future generations of students will not be required to memorize the latter version in American History courses.

    Dude please go read up on fetal development having to constantly correct people's misconceptions is tiresome. The Average abortion is performed at ten weeks by that time a fetus has brain waves and therefore a brain so it is scarcely brainless. Do you have proof that Trump is as much a moral degenerate as you claim or are you bearing false witness for political gain?

    The Christian Right is a joke.

    They won't support Hillary because she's a liar and "support" killing babies. Fine.

    But they will support trump despite him also being a liar and *personally* and literally covets another man's wife (one of the 10 commandments).

    Some say trump has revealed the evangelicals for what they are....I disagree. Their hypocrisy has been on display since the founding of the religion.

    What I don't get is why isn't there someone out there who isn't afraid to say the truth about them, tell it like it is, with absolutely no sugarcoating it with political correctness. You'd think Trump is the man to do it.

    Trump has screwed over employees, vendors, contractors and investors.. He financed his casinos with junk bonds so they were bound to fail. He got out richer than when he went in.. Now 11,000 people are out of work in Atlantic City... and you believe him when he says he is for the middle class and working Americans?

    Trump is for Trump and no one else.. He hasn't a scrap of integrity...

    When he bombs in the election he will blame media, his wife and a rigged system. "Rigged system" has been his favorite excuse for 30 years. His brand will fail taking his daughter with him and he will write a nasty book blaming everyone except his own sorry self.

    The same thing was happening in Las Vegas when the Democrats crashed the economy.

    Pay to Play! So it wasn't just more than sit down access to the Secretary of State, donors landed positions on State Department boards. Make a tax deductible donation and land a cushy job with the State Dept how nice. Seem like a conflict of interest to you? It does to me. What about the foreign governments that donated the Clinton foundation? Do they too expect favors from the Clinton's after donations to their "foundation" Why wouldn't they after donors get appointments to the State Dept, what would they expect from President Hillary in exchange for donations? Sorry, Hillary has way too much sordid baggage for me to vote for her, Sanders supporters should think twice before voting for her in November.

    Example: Clinton Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals From Hillary Clinton's State Department

    Yep that's your model of integrity! ;)

    A sailor taking pictures , selfies as you can them, in a nuclear sub,s engine almost assuredly exposed some detail and highly secret infirmation albeit not on purpose. Was jail tine proper fir him? Probably not but consider that he was military and we in the military knew that you do not take pictures the circuits of IFF, or ECM, or even our sensitive Nav equipment, and definately not CRIPTO equipment.


    As Inunderstand it was Hillary did was stupid but she did not spread it out she stupidly and carelessly kept NGOs on her private server. If that was discovered while she was still us office a serious reprimand would be in order and maybe she should gave been invited to take the golden opportunity to go spend more time with her family.... you know Chelsea Junior. Again if you look at what Hillary did from neutral and not partisan eyes you will conclude that as far we have information on Hillary did not commit a crime.

    Hillary did tamed classified info and send it to Stashu Bobalitsky of the KGB.
