Inaguration crowd size

You might dial down the sanctimony a bit, Carpe - the Pharisees and Saduccees [sic] were religious figures.

And evangelicals are not?

That's why Jesus called them out. You seem to think Trump got elected Pastor-in-Chief. And that bit about "embracing Trump wholesale" is a steaming pile of horsie poo.

CP - there is little doubt about the broad embrace by evangelicals of Trump. Obviously it is not "all" evangelicals, so you are right to call me on my language that was too "broad." But there is only one demographic that has a HIGHER approval rating of Trump than white evangelicals at 75%, and that's Republicans at the mid 80s.

But, hey, you have a sympathetic audience, so kabuki on!

I would hardly consider Tweb a "sympathetic audience"

Not in the same sense as the religious LEADERS of Jesus' day, no.

You are hereby called on the overly broad language. Again.

You don't truly think that surprises me, do you?

I'll tell you what amazes me. The evangelical community in this country has embraced a man who is almost the antithesis of the message of Jesus of Nazareth. They speak of false prophets and those who would subvert the message, and along comes a man like Trump and they embrace him wholesale. Jesus of Nazareth had some powerful messages: the least will be the greatest - turn the other cheek instead of seeking vengeance - bless those who persecute you - those who give from their need instead of their excess give more - and the list goes on. There is much to be admired about this message. But the only message evangelicals seem to care about is throwing the moneylenders from the temple (yet money is so consumingly important...) and Jesus calling the Pharisees and Sadducees to account. But they forget WHY Jesus is said to have called them account. He calls them to account because they flaunt their religion and require all to live by LAW instead of by the spirit of love he believes is the essence of god.

ONe has to wonder who the modern-day Pharisees and Saduccees are. I know who gets MY vote...

If we held all of DC to that standard, DC would be a very empty place. It always amazes me how many non Christian liberals suddenly found religion in the Trump era while flushing it down the drain for decades.

What are charles, oxmixmudd, et al? Chopped liver?

One of my cousins has been a lifelong Democrat and she said she is upset with all of the Antifa Rioting, the way liberals have been treating Christians, and MSM treatment of Trump and says that she would vote for him if he ran again.

Silly demented fool, it must run in the family.

Doesn't she know that most US liberals are Christians?

"Christians" in the sense that "my gramma was a Christian" or "I was practically born in Church"?

Oh come on, you know at least one of them would end up named Muffin.

Just out of curiosity, do you ever use sorghum on your cornbread?
