Have any of your relatives played the Jesus card on you? [View all]

My nephew did to me on Facebook this afternoon:

He: Just as the bible and Jesus is for real, and we must live like Jesus did, trust me I pray for people like u daily

Me: Let's see... you voted for an admitted sexual molester, who has cheated so many people that he had to repay $25 million, who mocks people for their disabilities, who criticizes people for the race to which they were born, who lies about major things on a constant basis, who just put our intelligence agents in mortal danger, who just spat on our American allies, who runs our government as his own business to make profits, and you're going to pretend to be doing what Jesus wants? Get out of here. If there is a Jesus he's not very happy with you, trust ME.

He: I did and proud of it

Me: Which makes you a dishonest and unholy crackpot. You're saying the wrong prayers... you should be praying for YOURSELF.

He: What I proud of is that his values were far better than Hillary's anti Christian ones, he was and is not perfect as I but prayers were answered that more people feel like me because he is our president just as Obama was, so I still pray u see the truth

Me: Here's the TRUTH: No, his values were and are NOT far better than Hillary's. Hillary cares for people, Trump cares for himself. Hillary is not a racist, Trump is. Hillary doesn't mock people because of their disabilities. Trump does. Hillary doesn't sexually molest people then brag about it. Trump does. Hillary doesn't constantly lie. Trump does. Hillary doesn't cheat small businessmen and contractors. Trump built a career around it. Why don't you admit the TRUE reason you voted for Trump? I know what that reason is, but it might do you some good psychologically to admit it to yourself. And, SERIOUSLY, if you actually believe in some God of justice you should drop to your knees right now and pray for forgiveness.

He: What's worse in things done in deceiving way, Hillary and Bill went to o
Pedifile island and molested kids. And why as soon as she's not president her foundation fails, (because no more pay for play) wake up

Me: one of the Ten Commandments STRICTLY forbids you from bearing false witness against another person. You should be ashamed of yourself and you should take my advice seriously. If your God is real you have placed yourself in very grave danger of eternal damnation.

He: I'm not breaking a commandment, I'm passing on information just as u are, u need help I'm done with your disrespectful talk of our president, and I will continue to pray for lost souls like u
