SHS - Just another Liar For Jesus

“What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good and for the Christian church ... a lie out of necessity, a useful lie, a helpful lie, such lies would not be against God, he would accept them.” - Martin Luther

Sanders is a pious fraud, a well-established persona in the Christian faith throughout the centuries. Worse, she is a pious fraud on two levels, 1. her being a Christian fraud, and 2. her being a fraud for tRump.

What’s important for us to realize is that SHS knows she is lying. She sees lying for her cause to be a noble endeavor. That’s why it’s so easy for her - and Rs in general - to double down when they are caught in obvious lies. They do it because they truly believe that in their case, their lies are serving a noble purpose. They see no harm in it. Rather, the see it as a benefit, not only to them, but to society at large.

one has to wear some massive blinders to see children in cages and think "this is what Jesus would do". Or just a stupid fucking shill.

After all, his “dad” sent those two bears to maul and kill 42 children because they made fun of his prophet’s bald head, and Jesus was a staunch advocate of the OT.

and I have used those very verses before in condemning the "teachings" of the bible.
However, if you read the RED sentences in the bible, I do not believe you will find even one word condoning hate. If everyone who calls themselves a "christian" actually lived by those RED sentences, the world would be a much better place to live.

titled "One Tin Soldier," do it in the name of heaven, and you can justify it in the end.

As my response was critical of that quote and Luther.

You didn't even read it did you? Just saw "Catholic Priest" and popped a stiffy didn't you?

in her mind. I guarantee you that is how she justifies her lies. She once said something along the lines "well at least we don't kill babies." in response to a question that had nothing to do with abortion.

Evangelicals know Trump is immoral. But if he appoints " godly baby saving" judges then it doesn't matter what else he does. They have this whole thing about him being like Cyrus (the Persian king who freed the Hebrews from Babylon) though there is nothing in the Bible about Cyrus being a douchebag, so I have no idea what they are on about there.
