Today's Republicans do in fact have Christian values

16. Your theology is off, and so is your interpretation of the Bible.

I'm not going to argue. The context for interpreting the Bible from a Christian perspective is the words of Christ, and his interpretation. And it's not that. There are good commentaries on exactly what all of it means, for those who are interested. I don't think you are.

But I will agree, that today's Republicans are headed toward bringing all of that back, in some form, though when it gets down to basic philiosophy, if the Republicans do win this thing, their battle is going to be between the financial interests who want Trump in there so there's no restriction on their redistribution of wealth to their pockets, and turning America into another Russian oligarchy with them at the top, and the Christian nationalists, whose philosophy is opposed to the accumulation of wealth, although their religious convictions don't seem to be worth the time it takes to spew them out.

We are in trouble now, people, if you believe the data and the oddsmakers. This is where we are headed, regardless of whether you think this is a correct Bible interpretation or not. The election is not much more than four months away, and a lot of people in this country have lost their minds. Twenty years ago, 34 felony convictions and a looming prison sentence would have ended any Presidential candidacy. The fact that this hasn't done that in a week is troubling. And it is telling the world that there's much to be doubted about American Democracy.
