The Trump campaign is attempting to garner the ecclesiastical vote…are you one of those voters? The dictionary defines “ecclesiastical” as relating to the Christian Church”. And the foundation of ALL CHRISTIAN religions is the Ten Commandments. So let’s see how Trump and his actions stack up to those foundation blocks. For the reader’s convenience we are paraphrasing each commandment.
- 1) Thou shall not have other gods before me. TRUMP: OBVIOUS THAT MONEY, POWER AND SEX ARE HIS PRIORITY. SCORE: “F”
- 2) Thou shall not worship idols. TRUMP: SAME ANSWER AS ABOVE. SCORE: “F”.
- 3) Thou shall not take the Lord’s name in vain. TRUMP: BASED ON THE LANGUAGE HE’S FAMOUS FOR IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO DENY HE TAKES THE NAME OF THE LORD IN VAIN OFTEN. SCORE: “D”
- 4) Thou shall keep holy the Sabbath. TRUMP: HAS NEVER BEEN INSIDE A CHURCH. SCORE: “F”
- 5) Honor thy Father and thy Mother. TRUMP: SQUANDERED THE HONESTLY ACQUIRED FORTUNE EARNED BY HIS FATHER AND TOOK THE BUSINESS INTO BANKRUPTCY 4 TIMES. NO OTHER RECORD OF ANY TRUMP ACTIONS THAT REDEEM HIS BUSINESS FAILURES OR AN APOLOGY TO HIS FATHER. SCORE: “D” (only because he’s still in business with conservators watching)
- 6) Thou shall not kill. TRUMP: WHILE THERE’S NEVER BEEN A MURDER CHARGE AGAINST HIM, HE DID WATCH (WITH GLEE) FOR 187 MINUTES WHILE A RIOTOUS ARMED MOB ATTACKED THE US CAPITOL AND SOME DEATHS RESULTED. MAYBE HE’S ONLY GUILTY AS AN ACCESSORY TO MURDER. SCORE: “F”
- 7) Thou shall not commit adultery. TRUMP: WELL, WE KNOW THAT’S A NO-BRAINER. JUST ASK STORMY OR KAREN McD. FOR MORE DETAILS, SEARCH THE NET: wikipedia.org/wikipedia/Donald_sexual_misconduct_allegations SCORE: “FF”
- 8) Thou shall not steal. TRUMP: THE RECENT “SLAM DUNK” CONVICTION IN THE NEW YORK FRAUD CASE PRETTY CLEARLY SHOWS TRUMP AS A THIEF BY STEALING FROM BANKS (loans he should not have gotten), INSURANCE COMPANIES (paying lower property insurance premiums than he should have) AND THE STATE OF NEW YORK (paying less property taxes than he should have). SCORE: “F”
- 9) Thou shall not bear false witness. TRUMP: AFTER BEING FACT CHECKED AND PROVEN TO HAVE LIED APPROXIMATELY 20,000 TIMES IT IS EASY TO SEE THAT HE FAILED THIS ONE. SCORE: “F”
- 10) Thou shall not covet thy neighbors wife or possessions. TRUMP: HIS PAST SEXUAL BEHAVIOR AS ATTESTED TO BY DOZENS OF WOMEN SHOOTS DOWN THE “WIFE” PART OF THIS COMMANDMENT. AND HIS BUSINESS PRACTICES (though failing despite constant cheating) SHOW AN INEPTITUDE WHEN TRYING TO ACQUIRE OTHERS POSSESSIONS. IN OTHER WORDS, HE TRIED TO TAKE WHAT DIDN’T BELONG TO HIM LEGITIMATELY BUT–DUE TO HIS LACK OF ABILITY–HE FAILED. (It’s like trying to kill someone but his gun misfired.) SCORE: “F”
We’re trying to picture Billy Graham with his arm around the Donald and saying how he’s endorsing his candidacy. It’s impossible. So–if you think for one minute that Trump is genuinely interested in the “ecclesiastical” perspective–you are being conned. He wants your vote and will say anything to get it. You may not like the Ten Commandment Report Card–but you know we speak only the truth. We admit to being wrong in 2016 with our vote; and we are quick to proclaim a correction in 2020. Are you secure enough to admit a mistake–for the good of the country?
