Your hatefulness has consequences.

But I have a question for all of you fundamentalist Christians:

Show me the Bible verse where Jesus condemns homosexuality. Don't quote Leviticus because that argument fails because you're not following all of the other admonishments listed there. By the way, if we run through the Ten Commandments, we can apply them to Trump and see how he fares:

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me; Trump openly lusts for money.
2. Honor thy father and thy mother; let's give him a pass on this one.
3. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy; Trump doesn't go to church, he goes golfing.
4. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image; check out the decor at any Trump facility.
5. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; we've heard Trump curse many times.
6. Thou shalt not kill; okay, he hasn't shot anyone on Fifth Avenue... yet.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery; too obvious!
8. Thou shalt not steal; also too obvious!
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor; Trump lies all the time.
10. Thou shalt not covet; Trump's whole life is lusting for other people's things.

So, Trump openly flaunts at least 8 of the 10. Nice fellow you support, Graham. He really doesn't embody Jesus' teachings.

Pro tip: Jesus never said a word about homosexuality.
