Paging Mr. Sessions? Special delivery for Mr. Sessions …
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, “This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they may worship me. If you refuse to let them go, I will bring locusts into your country tomorrow. They will cover the face of the ground so that it cannot be seen. They will devour what little you have left after the hail, including every tree that is growing in your fields. They will fill your houses and those of all your officials and all the Egyptians—something neither your parents nor your ancestors have ever seen from the day they settled in this land till now.’”
Exodus 10:3-6.
“First, illegal entry into the United States is a crime:
Um…only after you get kicked out the first time.
I’m reasonably familiar with the basics of Christianity and I’m not aware of much in Christ’s teaching that calls upon you to be sadistically cruel. Nothing in it calls on you to terrorize children and inflict a parent’s worst nightmare on people trying to save their families’ lives. Christ does say this, though: “Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” So I think you sick motherfuckers should shut the fuck up about what the Bible says. Fucking bastards.
This is bullshit.
Ugly, nasty stupid evil bullshit. It’s this kind of bullshit that would make me weep for Jesus if I believed in a Jesus.
“I can say that it is very biblical to enforce the law,” she said. “That is actually repeated a number of times throughout the Bible.”
I got a real problem with this coming from the U.S government.
Undocumented entry into the US is a civil misdemeanor.
It is not a criminal act under US law.
Sessions and trump are treating it as if it were a criminal act.
This means they are violating the law every time they prosecute someone.
And there is ZERO Biblical relevance to secular US laws.
You and me both.
Since when is the bible a source for our law.
Since NEVER.
But that has never stopped the smug false piety of the right-wing from claiming that the US is a Christian nation founded on Biblical Truth.
I can’t even come up with words anymore that fully describe how loathsome Sessions and Trump are. There just aren’t any.
The trend is toward a more secular society. Our fight is to keep the government Constitution-based until we can hand it over safely to the next generation as the United States we know, not Gilead or Trumplandia.
As if Christ loving Evangies aren’t sick enough.
And fight we will. Whatever it takes.
It will not be Pardons Trump provides, but indulgences.
“The Trump administration says it’s downright biblical to separate undocumented immigrant children from their families.”
So they’re saying “G-d Is With Us”…?
Hmm, maybe we should start harassing the §resident of the universe to PARDON all these children and their parents. If he is for humane measures, then that would surely foot the bill. By crikey, it might be just the ticket!
They are applying the Evangelical 11th Commandment: Thou shalt not be brown in the US, and if thou arest then thou shalt be treated poorly in every possible way.
weed that makes you take kids from parents is definitely NOT good weed.
