Trump's favorite Bible verse
He doesn't have one. He hasn't read the Bible.
At the recent Faith and Freedom Coalition Road to Majority Conference 2022, the former president wouldn’t (or couldn’t) name a favorite Bible verse because doing so is, he said, “personal.”
SourceWatch describes the F&FC as “Christian Coalition on steroids.” It was started by Ralph E. Reed, whom you may remember from the Christian Coalition, an early and effective opponent of the American concept of separation of church and state.
As this Boston Globe piece says, “Hypocrisy, thy name is GOP,” and Republicans who profess to be Christians yet support the Big Lie and the racist, woman-hating former president? Here’s what you have to look forward to.
Don’t be mad at me. I don’t make the rules. And as it’s only fair, here’s my favorite Bible verse (and I am happy to discuss it further):
(To be honest, I don’t sweat that whole “unspotted from the world” thing. If you’re focusing on aiding the vulnerable, that just kind of happens naturally.)
The Beatitudes are for me the be all and end all. IF more religious 'leaders' focused on the words Jesus spoke on the mount the world would be a much better place?!?
My favorite is from the Talmud (derived from the Pirkei Avot within the Mishnah - we don't have a concise chapter and verse format for this):
"Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly now, love mercy now, walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.”
Crenshaw (a smug hypocrite I consider a walking example of heresy and lack of morality) might note this is a concept that clearly applies to us all.
