Wife saw a Voting For Hillary is a SIN bus.

Yep. An entire bus just wrapped with a giant graphic that tells us voting for Hillary is a sin.

I could look at the ten commandments but I already know that there's nothing in the Bible that says "voting for an individual person is a sin"

A vote is a casting of confidence in someone. I don't recall the Bible saying anything about that being wrong. Closest I can think of is the don't follow a false idol kind of rule but in that case, voting for anyone or anything or having confidence in anything or anyone is a sin right?

Anyways...

How in the hell are these people able to justify Trump? I mean, I'm sorry... Hillary is no saint. But she's actually a church goer.

Trump is a blatant travesty, can't quote a line of Scripture, didn't understand how tithe worked and well... We all know.

But these folks really went out of their way and spent good money to wrap a bus with a giant graphic lying about what a sin is?

I am not opposed to religion. I am opposed to organized religion. I am opposed to religion and politics mixing.

I just can't fathom the amount of cognitive dissonance it must require to look at both candidates and decide, Hillary is the greater of evils.

I'm just floored.

11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

And there you have it. Ain't religion grand?

where Roman law treated women as property of men.

I swear, the religious far right is so retrograde they want to take us back to the freakin' Roman empire! I have news for you, RWNJ "Christians": 2000 years ago, Christianity was illegal, so be careful what you wish for.

and I'm not only voting for Hillary but a straight democratic ticket from top to bottom!

You will never find a candidate that has lived his life more in opposition to anything that could be considered holy than Donald J Trump and the anti-poor people hate filled racist party he represents!

The KKK is endorsing Drumpf!

I rest my case!

They need to be paying taxes on the money they take in for politics. Most Churches these days are nothing more than tax exempt Republican PACs.

And this RW nonsense is anything but Christian. Nowhere in Scriptures does it say that to vote for a certain person is a sin, unless you're voting from someone intent on destroying civilization and/or humanity. This means you, RWNJs.

15. God does not look kindly on humans making up new sins and commandments, according to the Bible.

For example:

Deuteronomy 4:2
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Deuteronomy 12:32
What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Proverbs 30:5-6
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Jeremiah 23:30-31
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. 31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

Galatians 1:8
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
...................

Beware of false prophets.

It is a good gig being a conservative, you can do and say all kinds of abhorrent shit, and it is all good.

Meanwhile, you can be, well Barrack Obama, a decent, honorable person who is a good father and husband. And, because you are a democrat you are literally spawn from satan.

It is as simple as that.

They are pro-birth.

After birth the child can starve to death or die from lack of health care and they would all be good with it because they are republicans first, last and always and if you are not born rich, tough shit infant!
