BTW: Speaking of the Word "CLING" when discussing FAITH........

1 Timothy 1:19 - "Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear.
For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result,
their faith has been shipwrecked."

Seems like it was the right word to use, cause the Bible tells me so.

when you get to where Jesus said to cling to guns and racism.

2. You mean the Black man had to speak in Bible Verse without
interpretation?

Are you a fundamentalist? :shrug:

I'm an athiest.

I find the whole "Bible" thing to be off-putting.

3. Good find.
As I've said elsewhere, the reason these people are clinging to their faith and their guns, is because over the past 25 years they have LOST everything else - their jobs, their pensions, their futures, their unions, their healthcare, their homes. The republicans run on the threat that the Democrats will take away these last things they can call their own. OF COURSE they are bitter.
