All republicans or democrats do not believe in 'God' either. But let's speak of the eight blessings that Jesus Christ gave to the disciples in his 'Sermon on the Mount'. In contrast to the Ten Commandments, the eight beatitudes convey a positive spirit, one that would lead to salvation. The beatitudes had an intention for people to renew themselves and to follow the way of God in righteousness.
Take these 8 beatitudes and apply it, not only to yourself, but to your president. Has Trump given kindness, respect or even dignity to those people described by Jesus Christ in his 'blessings'?
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Do the poor in spirit see Americans as stupid and in need of shepherding by big government rulers like themselves?
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Do those who relentlessly, unmercifully and unjustly attack their political enemies mourn over their own contributions to injustice?
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Do the meek call their political opponents "despicable" or "deplorable?"
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Are those promoting the murder of unborn babies, the legalization of sexual immorality, and the abolishing of cops, prisons and laws against harmful recreation drugs thirsting for righteousness?
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Do the merciful send dozens of well-armed swat troops into a man's house in the middle of the night to arrest him on minor charges, just because he is a political target of the particular political party of the prosecutors?
Are those telling God and Christians to keep their religion behind the secular walls erected by barbarians pure in heart before God?Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Are peacemakers telling their political supporters to go out and assault conservatives and their families in public places?
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
Sounds like something God is telling people like Sarah Palin.
Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
