148. hey quit making Ben look good

Mon Nov 9, 2015, 12:31 PM

Nov 2015

I see this one and think so.. On that one that is the Christian Belief. the Irony being thanks to a Catholic Democrat (which I was just reminded) that Catholics could never be elected... we went up. But we haven't gone back up because his kind thinks it costs too much money. Don't go after someone because of his beliefs please. Albeit I do but only so far as to say 10 years of it being pounded into my head that there are 4 main cults and so far people who pounded that into my head are big fans of Cults of late First Mormons in 2012 and now 7th days .. which right now via mergers there are 2 Lutherans running. (Presbyterians, which with the UCC merged in 1997 with the ELCA) thus Obama and Donald Trump are of the same religion Lutheran.
