America's Lip Service to the Christian Deity

Americans who say they are Christians but are not:  "We are Christians.  We love God.  We must do our Christian duty and vote for the guy who says he is a Christian.  It doesn't matter if he doesn't act like one.  I know he commits adultery, fornication, cheating, lying, stealing, gluttony, hate (murder), and makes plans that hurt the poor and the aliens who have fled from violence and poverty to our land.  But what's more important is the banning the sin of active homosexuality that doesn't cause harm to others and making all abortion illegal.  I know he divides people in our country and pits people against each other.  But that's a good thing."

The volume supposedly inspired by the god they say they follow:

There are six things that the Lord hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
a false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who sows discord among brothers (Prov. 6:16-19).

Oh, wow!  Is that really a list that sums up Donald Trump?  I can scarcely believe my eyes! Who would have ever guessed?!  

"Christian" Americans: "You know the bible says God destroyed Sodom because he hates homosexuality so much.  Two men (or two women) having sex with each other is definitely the worst sin there is!"

The bible volume:

Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty and did an abomination before me. So I removed them, when I saw it (Ezekiel 16:49-50).

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa now!  You mean to tell me that the bible says God destroyed Sodom because they acted the same way modern American people who live in the so-called Bible Belt act?  You mean lava burned them to the ground because they acted proud and arrogant like Donald Trump and his followers, and because they ate more food than they needed, and because they didn't want to give any of their money and other things to the poor and those who needed them?  That is why God destroyed Sodom?! 

 
"Christian" Americans: "It says in Genesis that God destroyed Sodom because men were having butt sex! That's why we call anal sex sodomy. Duh!"

 
The bible volume: [T]he men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house.And they called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.” Lot went out to the men at the entrance, shut the door after him, and said, “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly. Behold, I have two daughters who have not known any man. Let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please. Only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof" (Gen. 19:4b-8

Oh crap, that's right.  Lot told his fellow Sodomite citizens that they could do as they like with his virgin daughters, whatever kind of sex they want, as many of the men gang-banging his daughters as they choose, just so long as Lot's two visitors weren't raped.  Huh, I wonder whether Trump-style Christians think it's ok to let their neighbors gang-rape their daughters in the vagina, mouth, and butt so long as their male or male-looking house guests don't get raped.  Is that how Trump Christians think?  Of course, Lot let his daughters get him drunk later in the narrative, and he got them pregnant.  They did it the old-fashioned way of penis-in-vagina sex.  One daughter got pregnant one night, and the other daughter got her father's sperm the next night.  Oh yeah, the bible says drunkenness is bad, too, but I guess it's ok whenever you need your daddy's sperm to get a baby.  Hmm, my mind is so silly.  It wanders here and there and wonders this and that, and I was just thinking to myself that this reminds me of that time when someone on a talk show asked Donald Trump what he and his daughter Ivanka had in common, and he answered, "Sex."  Of course, surely they don't do it together, you know, but my mind is funny that way; the bible passage just made me think of that.  Ha!

The Book of Jasher, another historical volume which is referenced twice in the bible (2 Sam. 1:18; Jos. 10:13): 

And in the time of rejoicing they would all rise and lay hold of their neighbor's wives, and some, the virgin daughters of their neighbors, and they enjoyed them, and each man saw his wife and daughter in the hands of his neighbor and did not say a word. And they did so from morning to night, and they afterward returned home each man to his house and each woman to her tent; so they always did four times in the year (Jas 18:14-15).

And by desire of their four judges the people of Sodom and Gomorrah had beds erected in the streets of the cities, and if a man came to these places they laid hold of him and brought him to one of their beds, and by force made him to lie in them. And as he lay down, three men would stand at his head and three at his feet, and measure him by the length of the bed, and if the man was less than the bed these six men would stretch him at each end, and when he cried out to them they would not answer him. And if he was longer than the bed they would draw together the two sides of the bed at each end, until the man had reached the gates of death. And if he continued to cry out to them, they would answer him, saying, Thus shall it be done to a man that cometh into our land (Jas. 19:3-6).

And when a poor man came to their land they would give him silver and gold, and cause a proclamation in the whole city not to give him a morsel of bread to eat, and if the stranger should remain there some days, and die from hunger, not having been able to obtain a morsel of bread, then at his death all the people of the city would come and take their silver and gold which they had given to him (Jas. 19:8).

Wait, that says Sodom would take the wives and daughters of their neighbors and engage in sex with them.  Lot was apparently okay with his daughters being taken, just like the other Sodomites allowed their daughters to be taken.  Nothing is even said about homosexuality in Jasher!  Wow!

And look, it talks about the Sodomites being cruel to the aliens coming into their land! 


"Christian" Americans: "Yeah, well, it's good that Trump wants to keep out the illegal aliens.  They bring drugs over here and take away our jobs.  The rich shouldn't have to pay to help the poor, either.  The poor are just lazy!  They need to work!"

The bible volume: “For YAHWEH your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe. “He executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and shows His love for the alien by giving him food and clothing. “So show your love for the alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt" (Deut. 10:17-19).

 Much more is written in the biblical scriptures that condemn the so-called "Christian" Americans who are truly antichrist, but I leave my readers with this:

'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me,' (Matt. 15:8),  Salvation (Jesus/Yeshua) quoting the prophet Isaiah (Isa. 29:13).
