Well my FB timeline is scorched earth aimed

at any Trump supporters.
I know some of my relatives are. I will be posting directly on theirs next.

I am beating those pious hypocritical faux Christians over the head with Bible verses.
I did listen in church.

Those teachings formed my morality, for the most part. I just don't believe Jesus was the son of God. I lean towards "cool hippy dude. "

Yesterday I posted "I don't want to hear anyone claim they are Christian or that this is a Christian country. Today you are proving you are just the opposite and you will never have to worry about getting cold in eternity.

My personal favorite, the parable of the Sheep and the Goats. Especially Matthew 25:40:


And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

...I obviously have many Facebook acquaintances of a Christian background. It's been interesting to watch the change over time in the reactions to what I write. They used to be so bold in their declarations of how they won and I need to get over it. Hardly a peep out of them now.

This isn't the religion I was taught growing up. I'm seeing people in leadership positions write about how those people can just go to other countries. It's really awful and completely against what the Bible has to say regarding strangers in your land.

The current battle is the newly adopted "Obama did it, too" talking point. This is in reference to the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act and is, of course, not even nearly the same thing as an immigration/green card holder ban. They're trying so hard to justify what they're doing by bringing up Obama but it doesn't pass.

Good luck and keep it up!
