    Now that a funny cartoon. hur hur

    Scream and fear monger death in the picture of life and family.

    That's the white supremacist strategy some folks are lapping up.

    Counting down the days where we round up neighbors into ghettoes and "partitions".

    Jesus would think Trump supporters are either racist or the stupidest people on earth. Probably both.

    Good chance I could guess who Koresh would have supported in 2016 if he hadn’t decided to commit suicide.

    You do understand that those people, changed, showed faith, believed, asked for help from God, questioned, learned, sought to serve, and do good for others.

    That was why those stories about imperfect biblical heroes were so inspiring. The people that were some of the biggest offenders, still sought and accepted change, to serve others, etc.

    Trump has done none of that and has shown no remorse for any of the horrible things he's done in the past. He continues to do them, brags about them, etc.

    So Trump is not like any of the flawed heroes you mentioned. He's a personified example of everything contrary to what those stories were trying to teach. Yeah, I'll keep wondering why any Christian would ever support Trump.

    I have no egg on my face regarding the Russian conspiracy. The report shows horrible actions by Russia and acceptance and encouragement from the Trump campaign.

    You closing your eyes to Trump's racist words and actions isn't about me holding on to hate.

    Sounds like evangelicals are driving towards a wall hoping God will save them.

    Seatbelts is Great!

    Anti-Crumple Zones is Great!

    Got more sexy pics of your wife, Jerry Falwell?

    ...biggest thing about most of those instances (particularly with King David) was that they were not relieved of the physical consequence of their actions.

    They acknowledged their mistakes. They changed their behavior.

    ...and none of that mitigated the effect of the consequences of their actions.

    Making a mess...and then saying you're sorry for making that mess...and then saying you're never going to make that mess again...

    ...has almost nothing to do with cleaning up the mess you made in the first place.

    When people prefer asking for forgiveness to asking for permission...they generally aren't going to be the type of person you'd want around to do any type of damage control anyway, in my opinion.

    We've got hoaxes for that too.




    Army and Navy launch internal investigations into controversial hand gesture captured on video
    https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/15/politics/navy-internal-investigation-hand-gesture-video/index.html


    The US Military and Naval academies on Sunday launched internal investigations after cadets and midshipmen were captured on ESPN's pre-game show for the Army-Navy game making a hand gesture that some are interpreting as white nationalist and others are interpreting as innocent.

    In a statement Sunday night, the Military Academy -- commonly known as West Point -- said its investigation is looking into the "use of hand gestures by a few Cadets" during the broadcast before Saturday's game.

    "The United States Military Academy is fully committed to developing leaders of character who embody the Army Values. I have appointed an Investigation Officer...to conduct an administrative investigation into the facts, circumstances, and intent of the Cadets in question," Lt. Gen. Darryl Williams, superintendent of the academy, said.

    Cmdr. Alana Garas, a Naval Academy spokeswoman, said in a statement earlier Sunday that "U.S. Naval Academy officials have appointed a preliminary inquiry officer to conduct an internal investigation into the hand gestures made during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast prior to yesterday's Army-Navy game."

    Both academies said the investigations into the gestures will determine whether any actions will be taken against the cadets and midshipmen.

    The gesture in question is when someone forms the "OK" sign with their fingers and thumb -- a sign that can be associated with white nationalism.

    There was disagreement online about the meaning of the gesture, with some Twitter users retweeting a video clip from the broadcast and remarking that they believed the students were making a hate symbol. Others saw it more innocuously, believing the gesture was a sign that is part of the "Circle Game" played by kids. That game is commonly played when a person forms an "OK" with their hand below their waist to trick a second person into looking at it and getting punched.

    The Anti-Defamation League, which studies hate messages, said in a report earlier this year that it now considers the "OK" gesture a hate symbol in some cases.
    The ADL has previously said the use of the "OK" symbol "in most contexts is entirely innocuous and harmless." The gesture acquired new significance in 2017 after some members of the website 4CHAN claimed it represented the letters "wp" for "white power," according to the ADL.

    ESPN declined to comment when reached by CNN.

    "White supremacy" gets a crazy amount of media attention. I don't believe I've ever once in my life come in contact with any of these folks. They have to make up an infinitesimal percentage of the population, and yet CNN runs news stories on this topic once a week.

    No true Christian supports Trump.

    Jesus was a socialist and would be washing the feet of the Immigrants not putting them in cages.

    The FAKE Christian hatred movement is killing Christianity and religion - the grand awakening.....

    Good for humanity to leave the shackles of the mythological stories...
