    “In 2016, when a man bragged about assaulting women, various leaders of my faith then propped up this man as a poster boy for godly manhood and leadership,” she continued. “This broke my heart as I have watched — quite frankly, for the last eight years — people who were curious about Jesus and His teachings [have] done a 180 and walked in the other direction from my faith.”

    I don’t remember any Bible passages about grabbing pussies, but there are an untold number warning about false prophets who use a twisted, heretical version of religion to gain power and control over the masses.

      I’ve reposted this too many times.

      Back in 2016, after the pussy grabber tape came out, a MAGoo woman went on The View TV show to defend Donnie. One of the other panelists kept saying ‘pussy’ over and over until the MAGoo had had enough. She demanded that the other lady stop using that offensive term.

      A lot yes, but my parents are very religious, anti-abortion, anti-gay, but vote blue because they still believe that the important thing is to treat people right. Their belief is that God should be the judge of others actions not them.

    Isaiah 1:29-30 which says, “You will be ashamed because of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen. You will be like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water”.

    Interesting tidbit: The oaks it’s referring to are Asherah poles. Which are associated with the pagan goddess Asherah, who was believed to have been the consort of Yahweh back when the ancient Israelites were polytheistic

      Wow that’s lame as fuck.

      I guess it’s impressive if you’ve only ever read one book (and even then, you’ve never actually read the thing yourself, you let other people tell you what it says).
