I didn't want to imply he should "be more like Jesus," but the contrast set up what a truly frightful, shallow, callow, and self-centered man he is.<br /><br />I suppose you could say "At least he's honest about it," but the older I get, the less impressed I am with such "honesty."Rmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811456254443706479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-66333645631136260922016-08-09T10:48:39.709-05:002016-08-09T10:48:39.709-05:00I'm no fan of using bits of bible out of conte...I'm no fan of using bits of bible out of context, but I admit that when I hear parts of Trump's speeches that are directly opposed to the teachings of Jesus and the Hebrew Testament, bits of the bible pop into my mind. Since Trump declared himself to be a Christian and received support from a large number of evangelical Christians, including some in leadership positions the contrast is sharp. So yes, I enjoyed the posters.

I see much of the Sermon not as a promise of God to balance the books at the End of Time, but as insight into what the right life looks like.Rmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811456254443706479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-35392288848080730352016-08-06T16:16:14.433-05:002016-08-06T16:16:14.433-05:00Just to be fair, I'm not sure if any candidate...Just to be fair, I'm not sure if any candidate, any magistrate, in any country, can or would govern in accordance with the Sermon on the Mount.<br /><br />Still, in this case I have to say that I support the hypocrites over the honest advocate of American domination at home and abroad. rick allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612435616018593956noreply@blogger.com
