There used to be a "Skeptics Annotated Bible" online that had many passages from the Bible and then the passage that directly opposed the passage elsewhere in the Bible.

To lose their health care, and caused premiums to go sky high for the rest of us. Then lied about it. Maybe he needs to read the bible and start practicing what it preaches , instead of promoting more misery for the American people . All while enriching the wealthiest people in this country from being bribed with a flooding of their money for them and their campaigns, and maybe from Russians and putin too.

Only YOU (being a self-proclaimed Xtian) are bound by the shit that's written in there, and you ignore most of it yourself.

In other words, fuck off, hypocrite.
