Don't be Used by a User

 

Don't be deceived... anytime an openly hedonistic, openly corrupt, clearly amoral narcissist leader welcomes the religious into his house, he is always only planning on using them for personal gain and power. It's almost biblical, isn't it?

And I know that I've heard some conservatives note that he is a greedy, filthy man, but that maybe GOD can use "such a man" for saving the church. Again, the only one who will be used are the religious people who lend him their support. Corrupt con men have already told you who they are and what they want - power and money. If they're playing nice with you, it's only to use you. A dog returns to its vomit, St Peter also says.

More from 2 Peter 2:

"These false teachers take pleasure in openly doing evil,

so they are like dirty spots and stains among you.

They delight in trickery while eating meals with you.

Every time they look at a woman they want her,

and their desire for sin is never satisfied.

They lead weak people into the trap of sin,

and they have taught their hearts to be greedy...

They brag with words that mean nothing...

These false teachers promise [the duped followers/supporters] freedom,

but they themselves are not free.

They are slaves of things that will be destroyed.

For people are slaves of anything that controls them"

[and there, it might be noted that this is true for the con man AND his marks,

where the con man is controlled by his unbridled greed and lust and his marks

are controlled by the con man]

Truly, WHO does Peter sound like he's talking about... almost as if these were prophetic words from God.

Don't Be Deceived

So, the man who wants to criminalize churches for providing sanctuary to oppressed people - thereby oppressing those churches for practicing their human rights/religious views... and the man (and his followers) who were demanding a Bishop apologize or be fired for following HER religious views... THAT man wants to "criminalize" "anti-Christian actions..."

Understand this: He absolutely does NOT want to stand with Christians and religious liberties... he wants to make ONE particular flavor of ONE particular religion protected, whilst he attacks others. He's wanting to use and abuse you to harm and oppress others.

I'm all for believing in religious liberties (as long as that human religious tradition isn't causing harm to others), but if someone is telling you they want to protect only YOUR religious liberty, that man is a con man out for your money, your support and your loyalty as he denies religious liberty/human rights to others.

Don't be a victim of a conman. Especially when that conman drapes himself in your particular religion but who is also an established vulgar sexual predator and a corrupt felon.

Don't be deceived, God will not be mocked.

I'm so saddened that so many conservative Christians have been deceived by such a corrupt idiot.

Let America Be America Again

Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain
Seeking a home where he himself is free.

(America never was America to me.)

Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed—
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above.

(It never was America to me.)

O, let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,
But opportunity is real, and life is free,
Equality is in the air we breathe.

(There’s never been equality for me,
Nor freedom in this “homeland of the free.”)

Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark?
And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?

I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart,
I am the Negro bearing slavery’s scars.
I am the red man driven from the land,
I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek—
And finding only the same old stupid plan
Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak...

O, yes,
I say it plain,
America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath—
America will be!
