'Most Deranged I've Ever Seen': Critics Rip Trump's 'Desperate' Attack On Biden

Donald Trump is facing heat for his ugly attack on Democrat Joe Biden’s religious faith.

Although Biden is a practicing Catholic who has for years talked openly about his faith, Trump claimed he was “against God,” then launched into a rambling attack on Thursday:

“Take away your guns, destroy your Second Amendment. No religion, no anything. Hurt the Bible. Hurt God. He’s against God. He’s against guns. He’s against energy. Our kind of energy.”

Biden later defended his faith as the “bedrock foundation” of his life.

“It’s provided me comfort in moments of loss and tragedy, it’s kept me grounded and humbled in times of triumph and joy,” he said. He described Trump as “shameful” for the attack.

“It’s beneath the office he holds and it’s beneath the dignity the American people so rightly expect and deserve from their leaders,” Biden said.

"Our kind of energy" (the polluting kind).
'Hurt the Bible. Hurt God."

Jesus wept.

Kind of wish Jesus would come back just for a weekend and say, "Nah...."

That was the plot, wasn't it, of the Grand Inquisitor, and the ending was-- he imprisons Jesus because the last thing he wants is actual Christian Christianity.

Drunken boss staggers to mike, spews racist inanity, horrifies assembled guests. There's a scene in Giant where James Dean does something similar . . .
