Rev Barber on Franklin Graham saying the Christians should support Trump


@RevDrBarber, 9h9 hours ago

Franklin Graham told @foxandfriends that Christians should support Trump b/c Trump supports Christian values. What has Trump done to care for the sick, the poor, or the stranger? Christians should listen to Jesus: “when you did it to the least of these, you did it to me.”

To hell with putting Christ back in Christmas, I’d be happy if they put Christ back in Christian!

Saw that somewhere and loved it!

Thou shalt cheat on your wife.
Thou shalt put money above the Lord God.
Thou shalt belittle the sick.
Thou shalt use razor wire and bullets to keep children away from Jesus.
Thou shalt lie constantly.
Thou shalt cheat Caesar out of what is Caesar's.
Thou shalt gorge your fat pothole on enough food to feed a small village and then tell starving people to piss off.

My Bible doesn't have anything like that.





My Bible is missing this.

Does your Bible SAY that:
Truth is what we want it to be?
Young girls are to be a delight?
Helping others is for losers?
Shooting school kids or elderly Jewish people is good?

Remember - obstructing court appointments is a reward unto itself.

Follow these guidelines, and you will have golden showers heaped upon you in a truly blessed manner.

What is good about him is that his words make us all a bit uncomfortable, because they are true.

I do not subscribe to the creed.

I do not believe in transcendence or creationism.

Nor do I believe you can erase all the wrong you have done in this world simply by throwing your head back and yelling "I believe!"

Having said that, my "Christian values" are far stronger and more praiseworthy than Donald Trump's.

Like Rev. Dr. Barber says, exactly what Christian values does Trump even have?
