Accused adulterer Trump who paid to keep Stormy Daniels affair secret professes ‘love’ for the Ten Commandments

“I LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER. READ IT — HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG??? THIS MAY BE, IN FACT, THE FIRST MAJOR STEP IN THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION, WHICH IS DESPERATELY NEEDED, IN OUR COUNTRY. BRING BACK TTC!!! MAGA2024,” Trump wrote in the early hours of Friday.

exanime,

I respect people who have faith… but those religious idiots out there using religion as a weapon and the scum of society, and those from, the ones that think Trump is a kind of messiah, are so completely utterly brained fucked that should be legally declared incapacitated

aphlamingphoenix,

Why should faith be respected?

sloppy_diffuser,

Respect as a person in spite of their faith.

Oppose to not respecting someone as a person for not respecting (the authority of) their faith.

My guess anyways…

Nelots,

Why shouldn’t people who have a faith be respected?

aphlamingphoenix,

First, I didn’t say the people shouldn’t be respected. I said faith shouldn’t be. It’s the worst, least reliable way to draw conclusions about the world. A method that only ever produces falsehoods is not respectable. Why should I respect it?

Nelots,

Oh, I know. But the original comment you responded to said “I respect people who have faith” which is why I brought it up. I also believe faith itself is dumb and have little respect for it.

exanime,

Faith is just a personal trait. I did not mean “respect” as in “revered”, I meant respected as in “not my business, not gonna judge”.

To clarify further, I believe we all have faith in something. Scientists have faith/hope/expectations without direct evidence, that science will answer all questions given time. I have faith/hopes/expectations that my sport teams will prevail one day. I don’t think there is anything wrong with having faith (as in hopes without direct evidence) about anything. The problem is when that faith becomes the driving force of your life and you want to impose it on others.

Trump: “I love your 10 commandments,” you insolate moron. They mark you as a gullible fool that is easy to manipulate because you oversimplify from a lack of cognitive depth and believe in magic. I can say and do anything, and you’ll charge into my sword because you see red and believe. At least a bull gives some fight, you on the other hand…

CCV - conservative CV. Rules are for others

Chainweasel,

Accused? The proof of the affair was part of the evidence for his criminal trial.

MehBlah,

He has just a few left to cross off.

newthrowaway20,

Same energy as him holding that Bible. The people who believe this weren’t ever gonna question him anyways.

Trump also worships a false idol (money), bore false witness (and keeps getting judgements), steals (doesn’t pay for work), doesn’t keep the sabbath, covets pretty much everything, and is too chicken shit to commit murder but has called for the death penalty on exonerated people and was recently in the news because while president he wanted his opponents executed.

Nelots,

Somebody needs to tell Trump that his religion expects him to follow the commandments, not break them. Bet he’ll feel real silly for mixing that up.

NounsAndWords,

I’ve been saying this for almost a decade now, but if I wrote a book with someone like this guy as the biblical antichrist people would say it was way too on the nose.

CaptainSpaceman,

The first 4 commandments all say “love no other god but me” and trump prolly thinks hes god, so it checks out

snekerpimp,

Yet another rule he believes is for thee and not for he

LEDZeppelin,

It’s not just ‘accused’ anymore

Ashyr,

Legally, we weren’t convicting him of adultery, he’s a convicted felon for trying to hide it in order to subvert the election.

Even though the entire case is predicated on adultery, it is not a legal fact, so they’re covering themselves from a libel lawsuit.

I’m not a lawyer, however, so that’s training from my journalism degree years ago talking. Someone with better knowledge can correct me.

I feel like a large news organization should take their chances with a lawsuit. Bezos has got enough money to have the Washington Post do it. Make Trump argue in court that while he was found guilty of paying off a pornstar to cover up his adultery, it doesn’t mean he’s an actual adulterer.

Valmond,

How come (so many) people think that when Trump says something, he actually thinks it?

dhork,

Of course he loves the Ten Commandments. He views them as a to-do list.

Buffalox,

But he never lies, NEVER!
YOU’RE THE LIAR!!
