(2,091 posts)You say....."Corruption, Duplicitousness, and Lying are Important Christian Values, Apparently.
If you look at many of those who represent themselves as the teachers and leaders of Christianity, I can draw no other conclusion"
Bullshit.
These aren't Christian values. The Ninth Commandment (not a suggestion) condemns lying. And corruption is attacked time and time again in the Bible.
Those who lie and are corrupt are NOT following the word of Christ nor do they follow his path in so doing.
If you were someone who is ignorant of the Bible, I could excuse you. But you are the one who bragged about memorizing Matthew. The whole enchilada. Oh wise one......
And, my posts, which themselves are a repudiation of these self-styled religious leaders....are repudiated by you.
Donald Trump is the most un-Christian man, probably in a century, or more. Yet this ass hole is worshiped by some of these same leaders. This is reprehensible and hypocritical.
Tell you what, attack these right wing renegade evangelicals for being hypocrites and I would stand by you and agree with you! But that is not your style. You just cannot help yourself. You have a vendetta against Christianity and you have to twist things to fit your vendetta.
