Trump: the ultimate hypocrit: Protesters pepper sprayed so he could stand outside a church displaying a Bible for a photo op.
“When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men … but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father who is unseen.”
I'm going to qualify that I follow no organized religion, and part of that with me is how much hypocrisy I saw within those I visited in youth. How much hastily applied, egregiously mistaken judgementalism, intra-family discord and violence justification now gone completely bonkers under "God, guns and Trump". The self righteousness has even stretched to resemble the rise of the 3rd Reich. It didn't help that judgemental wackjobs seriously compromised my latter youth-- family of the Westboro idiots. Half a century later I still deal with complex PTSD thanks to those creeps.
Metaphors, Xtians. Metaphors. Even that "good book" explains it.
