Trump's entire posture during the entire service seemed to me to scream "don't want to be here"...Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

So...I'm just wondering what the reaction from those who are more evangelical and more "right" is to this news story and the others like it. Trump's entire posture during the entire service seemed to me to scream "don't want to be here" and he engaged essentially not at all with the service. Yet this is the hero of the evangelical movement. Thoughts?
Anyone else notice the Clinton's pretending not to hear him say hello to them, especially Hillary, who stared rigidly ahead?
I'm always still in trouble again

Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostIt is also entirely possible that the consistent denial that racism exists by the right shields them, to some degree, from this effect.

Which beggars the question: Why did Obama and the Clintons repeat the Creed if they also don't believe in it? I find it worse for someone who doesn't believe to say the words than for someone who doesn't believe to not say the words.
I also think it's a really stupid thing for the media and anybody else to pick up on. Haters going to hate, I suppose, and have to nitpick the smallest things.
Like the Pharisees who strained out gnats and swallowed camels.

I just watched the 21 plane fly over. This whole week just reminds how well the United States does solemn ceremonies like this.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...
