... of God, there go I. We all make mistakes and even fall on our faces sometimes. That is being human.


When people of faith fall off the path and need to get directed back in the way that really makes life worth living, that is part of the process. Even prodigals and rebels without a clue, I get and can forgive.

I can see people turn to addictions and lose themselves and do awful things. Then turn to God and recover.

But just because a person stands in front of a church and waves a Bible while the cameras are running does not make that person a Christian. Again, like a Pharisee who sits in front just to be seen, it takes more to follow Christ than putting money in the plate and smiling to the cameras.

20,000 lies and counting isn't just your typical Christian having a crises of faith. It's either mental illness or on purpose.

What gets me is how many Christians on the reich side of the isle think Trump is the one who has been maligned when people simply tell the truth about what he does.

I love them and forgive them because I know they are being duped and played. Their hearts are in the right place, but they are being targeted with propaganda.
