It has been pointed out that the GOP prefer science books that have no science in them, history books that have no history in them and math books that have no math in them, so it’s not surprising that their version of the Bible excludes everything Jesus said.

Well, it’s simple. I’m not a sinner, so I can stone someone. /GOPChrisitans

Ah, but you see, because I say “Jesus is Lord”, all MY sins are forgiven. It’s Jack Chick theology.

Moderator Frank Luntz asked Trump whether he has ever asked God for forgiveness for his actions.

“I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so,” he said. “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

Trump said that while he hasn’t asked God for forgiveness, he does participate in Holy Communion.

“When I drink my little wine – which is about the only wine I drink – and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed,” he said. “I think in terms of ‘let’s go on and let’s make it right.’”

The phrase “have my little cracker” pretty much tells you all you need to know about Trump and his relationship with his faith.

> Saw something on Lawrence O’Donnell that caught my attention. He was noting that for all the internet flurry and bluster, no actual mass protests seem to have occurred. He filmed a couple of lackluster protests with crowds in the low two digits, and wondered why the Trumpenproles were not amassing to rage, and wondered why this fact was not noticed

For exactly the same reason that there have been no massive scale multi-week long protests anywhere about The [Alleged] Steal. Any Repo that says that the Dems stole the election doesn’t really believe that at all-they say it because it just trollz the libz-specifically it gives the Dems less legitimacy and to show their “solidarity” with Der GropenFuhrer, and each other. [Except for Trump himself of course and some of his more naive’ followers]

You think for one single solitary microsecond that they truly KNEW that there was massive pro-Dem fraud that we wouldn’t see massive million MAGA marches in every major city, from Jan 6 up to the present day and to at least early Nov? [If not actual armed assaults natch, Lord forbid]
