Christian Politicians are Hypocrites

This is fairly obvious in a general sense. I heard a Republican politician use this quote, so I looked it up, and of course found it on a Christian website, but I think it was originally Shakespeare.


"The devil, too, can quote Scripture and deceive men with it. But his use of Scripture is defective. He does not quote it completely but only so much as it serves his purpose. The rest he silently omits." [LW 52:175]

You'd think that people doing such thinly veiled devilish things to their fellow man and to the planet as a whole, while quoting scripture and assuming a position of piousness, might be a bit more wary about throwing around such quotes, but I suppose they are fully confident in the blindness of their constituents.

Its just staggering to me that evil politicians standing on a pulpit claiming to be doing "God's work" essentially say, "Those who quote scripture in order to promote their own self interest are actually evil and not to be trusted."

How fucking blind do you have to be to fall for that!?.....America?

All the great Republicans, and there are several, don't really talk about the Bible much. Any Republican that claims to be holy, is obviously the opposite based alone on their BEING a Republican who claims to be holy. This quote essentially tells you directly, "Don't trust people like me." And they even go so far as to say, the true sign that it's the devil is when the user cherry picks what fits his arguement, and omits the rest.

hmmm, where have I seen this in the public political forum?

No wonder the world hates us. We're fucking morons.
