@ladycae Those pious assholes who wrap themselves in religion because it excuses them of everything.

@RodionRomanovitch but they support trump who has a history of cheating on his wife, multiple wives, sexual harassment, child molestation. the bible i read says these are all immoral. yet evangelical christians support a man who has done all these things. so at this point in time there is a moral vacuum because there is no longer any moral authority.
