DENVERPOPS
(8,866 posts)I want to thank you for bringing this timely quote to our attention........
There are soooo many quotes by truly great men in the past that are coming home to roost during these trying times.......
Remember the time when we had some true STATESMEN? (from both parties?) Lincoln once said:
"A STATESMAN is interested in the next generation, a POLITICIAN only in the next election"
I often say about the Republican House and Senate that they must not have kids or grandkids or just interested in themselves.....
I guess the later from their actions.....
Another one is the Frenchman? in the 1700's when we were just starting our Democracy, who said
"A Democracy is great until some individuals or groups figure out they can vote themselves money".....LOL

BlueKota
(1,828 posts)someone who breaks the 1st commandment and or tries to present themselves on the same or even higher level than God.
Also someone who manipulates people's faith by pretending they share that faith for personal gain, when in reality the only higher power they believe in is themselves.
I think Trump and those who have accepted his bullshit qualify as blasphemous under my interpretation.

(1,894 posts)So much beauty, love and light that can be ripped from us in less than a second with no notice, coupled with the likes of TSF, extreme manipulator of the masses. Who needs heat with this torture! Anyone I have ever told this to looks at me like I might be Satan herself. Take care love to you.💗😁

(3,407 posts)You know it, I have heard many people say they know it, and the apostles knew it then, so get your bible now before they run out, or just simply run away from it., or next time you stay at a hotel get it for free, if you are in that sort of reading, that is.

(175,760 posts)Dante's original circles are too tame for tfg. His many crimes are too heinous. This will combine all the sins of the existing nine because he's guilty of all of them.

(22 posts)How ironic Trump is selling Bibles. Some of his Christian followers probably will really love that. Someone should ask him what his favorite scripture is? Is it love your neighbor as yourself? Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. Thou shall not steal. Love is patient and kind. Thou shall not commit adultry. If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels. but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or clanging cymbal. In early America the Puritans would have had him in stocks by now.

(262 posts)I cant think of a better example of an anti-Christ with followers who are ravening wolves in sheeps clothing.
If we are speaking non-Biblically, I cant think of a more obvious snake oil salesman with a major following of snake oil drinkers.
