This right here folks is what's wrong with modern day Religion

From a no longer long time friend.
I think she thought I needed a little New Year's Day kick!

You have a Right to Vote..
I have a Right to Vote..
Its Our Freedom..
But we see it through the Spirit of God...

If You're looking for perfect, you're not going to find it!!! Only in Heaven..
It's his policy Betty, it 1,000 % better than Democrat...
He's from New York old school..
Back of the day , I can remember all the New York people talk like he talked...They were ruff... People around Ohio talk like that too.Always swearing always saying the word f*
I hate that more..

God loves all kinds of people.
God wishes all of us would REPENT from our SINS , but he has to learn the HARD WAY, just like a lot of us...
But he's the best President I've ever seen.HE GOT a LOT DONE for the PEOPLE....
He doesn't expect them to be perfect to be loved.
Bible said Pray for your leaders...
GOD knows we all are Sinners,we come from some bad thing , don't we!!!

My dad was an alcoholic, but he loved the Lord no matter what.And at the end , he really , truly repented...

Sorry I Love hs energy
Now his mouth No!!
HE EVEN MARRIED AN IMMIGRANT... YOU JUST HAVE TO SEARCH YOUR HEART OUT AND SEE WHY WE ALL SEE WHAT YOU DON'T SEE... I'VE SEEN THIS SINCE HE WAS ON OPRAH.I SAW HE WOULD MAKE A GREAT PRESIDENT...

Maybe she's forwarding some garbage she received from somewhere ....

Very bad judgment on her part. Whether she wrote it herself or forwarded it from somewhere else.

Poor you!

Take a break from that friend? Likely a good LONG break. It sucks to lose friends but from some experience, many of us have had, she will never stop and if you wish to remain somewhat in touch it is best to make some kind of a cut for a while until you can make her understand you do NOT WANT TO HEAR THAT.

unless you're poor, middle class, black, Hispanic, gay, trans, a woman, an immigrant, ever buy food, ever need medical care, ever travel internationally, Islamic, disagree with him even once ever, speak Spanish, work in construction, work in landscaping, ever sit or stand at a bus stop, or care about democracy or the rule of law, etc.

Frankly if your religion causes you to see a convicted criminal and obvious tyrant as a great leader, you're doing religion wrong.

Funny how his swearing is apparently the only sin they can find.

Humanity has always tailored the "word of God" to suit their purposes.
Too many people out there are too quick to condemn and too slow to forgive.
Yes, there's a lot of evil in this world, and far too little love and compassion.
Too many people reject the concept of empathy, even though they insist we are all God's children.

It's ironic that much of what we see as sin isn't, and so much we don't see as sin is.
