Here is a question the Bible does not have an answer to: How in the name of unholy fuck can a pair of worthless assholes like this be in contention for a presidential nomination?
The Bible can answer that!It's because they don't read it! It sure seems like they have a lot of metaphorical cloaks that remain un-given to needy people...
I'd say that reading it is important to people who say it's how they live. It's like saying John Steinbeck is your favorite author because you know where Cannery Row is.
Oh I think most of them have read it. At least the parts they like, or the ones their favourite fire and brimstone "Cast the Sodomites into the Lake of Fire!" preacher, whoever he may be, has told them to read.The wonderful thing about the Bible is how so many people who claim to live by it only read it to find the parts that reinforce their vicious, hateful, bigoted attitudes. And that they can so easily find passages that do so...
"As I jumped to a calculatedly dishonest conclusion that would cast an opponent in a bad light to gain electoral advantage. You know, like Jesus would have done."
After I'd lost my faith I'd felt that way for a long time, but I've been recently introduced to The Christian Left, which still does the whole "these passages support my stance" thing, but they're all about sharing and loving, there's no support for homophobia and they all seem to recognize that The Founding Fathers were mostly Deists rather than devout puritanical Christians.Two sides to every coin, I guess.

"Nobody fucks with de Jesus!"

Read it, don't read it, it doesn't matter...since it is nothing but a bunch of ambiguous, contradictory bullshit anyway.
Mr. Tyler's "apology" is far too verbose. Condensed version: I regret that I got caught.

Robs from the poorest. And keeps it.
"Mistakes were made, as I jumped to an obviously stupid conclusion."
Kill all the things is one, what's the other?

Donald John Smaug Trump?
A good Rethug is always apologetic when caught.
I remember those guys from the Eurovision Song Contest, but I didn't know their address. Now I do: Höchlstrasse 2, Munich. What a useful video!
The thing that worries me is that "All the answers are in there" is considered a good and sensible thing to say by these people.
