Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked. Psalm 97:10

We in the West may not be that good although I would argue that our greatest sin is being self parasistic. Personally, not a Bible thumper but as long as they are in the game to fight evil like Russia and Muslim terrorism--all in with them.

dunno. he is a faintly annoying man, short, fiftyish, his spectacles parked in the middle of his forehead, reminds me of they guy ordering one of everything at the butcher. mike is anti-abortion, anti-gay, doesn't belive in climate change and a trump bootlicker. he represents a district where 18% of the population lives below the poverty line, in one of the poorest states of america https://datausa.io/profile/geo/congressional-district-4-la looking on the positive side, he is glib, which i guess he has to be because what he thinks is completely out of sync with what most americans think (re abortion, lgbt rights, trump, etc). on the religion side, we do now feel a need to say something, to pile on. because the pile on doesn’t seem quite deep enough. the first thing mike did after being elected as republican designate for house speaker was to ask the caucus to pray with him. later he framed his leadership goals by citing romans 5:3-4. “i was reminded of the scripture that says suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character, and character produces hope,” he said, adding: “what we need in this country is more hope.” i would argue we need less policymakers like mike in leadership positions
