Could it be any more obvious?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The hardest thing for me to pinpoint is what the worst thing about Trump is. Because there are so many bad things about him.

It's certainly not his haircut or skin tone - although those features sure do come in for a lot of stick.

From what I see about him, at bottom, it's "ME ME ME", and anything that takes away from that obese ego has to be derided. He doesn't give a damn about anyone else but himself, and how he can use them for his own ends. It sickens me to see.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

The White House has ordered hospitals to stop reporting all things COVID to the CDC and instead send it to Trump's cronies in Washington.
How soon before the numbers suddenly, miraculously, drop?

Hospital data on coronavirus patients will now be rerouted to the Trump administration instead of first being sent to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed to CNN on Tuesday.
