I was surprised to learn that Trump was born on Christmas Day.

Or at least crucified on Easter Sunday, per the republican congressmen yesterday at the impeachment hearing.

The most religious person I know is the wife of a Michigan pastor, an old schoolmate who I reconnected with recently. On her Facebook OP last night she stated that it was a sad day for our country.

I continue to be confused by these people.
But then I suddenly remembered our friendship in junior high 50+ years ago when, after two years of being besties, she dropped me like a hot potato without any explanation. Today I had my explanation... I was flipped, just like JC was for Rump yesterday. Took 50 years, but now I get it.

people are that way because it's an indicator of mental illness. He had a German last name and was a Buddhist, so it's not like he was atheist who was dissing religion.

But I’m sure some of the nuts are already celebrating his June birthday like it was the date of the second coming. The crap they dished out yesterday comparing him to Christ turned my stomach. And they forgot to add snake oil salesman to his bio there.
