Melania/Religious Hypocrite.............WARNING: Viewing may induce nausea or vomiting.

Matthew 7:5
You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

2 Corinthians 11:14
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

Reading a Christian prayer was frankly ridiculous as the entire world knows these people are not in any way religious.

Secondly, it struck me as taunting other religious groups, especially Muslims.

Melania is, or is not. I do know that Jesus taught people to not pray in public. So in that regard, it was inappropriate.

Matthew 6:6 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward."

I guess they are slightly worse for being hypocrites, but would they be any better for believing a series of bullshit fables and basing policy on that? Religion is the opiate of the masses and it is bullshit and everyone who claims to believe is either deluded or a liar. Just my .02.

I cannot disprove any religion and no one can prove one. The basis of proof should be on the one who claims to know. And as an atheist I do not claim to talk to god, but cannot help but laughing at those who say they do. And the people who follow and preach religion are a plague. Any good they can do does not require religious dogma.

the only safe religion to be is a far right fundamentalist Christian religion. I mean even moderate Lutherans, Episcopalians, and Methodists are in danger. You have to remember that those churches accept gay people in clergy. I will never back down to proudly state that I am Buddhist but it could possibly get me into trouble with the way our administration is going. Muslims are only their first step..then there is the rest of us non-Christians ( for whatever makes you non-Christian. )
