Trump could have gotten his wall anytime in the past two years when his party controlled all three branches. His decision to shut down the government on the cusp of Mueller’s report and barrage of House subpoenas is proof the Trump's Shutdown has nothing to do with the wall.
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"
