Trump’s Failing Grade on the Seven Deadly Sins
Trump is one of the most popular president’s in history to White Evangelical Christians, holding an approval rating of close to 70%. Which is more impressive when you consider Jesus himself only holds an approval rating of 64%, voters citing concerns like helping the poor (“When you give a feast, invite the poor.” Luke 14:13) and his attacks on corporate freedom (You cannot serve both God and Money.” Matthew 6:24)
Let’s dive in and see just how impressive Trump’s Christian resume is, and what better standard than the seven deadly sins.
1. Lust
Despite showing little to no interest in his wife, it is his THIRD wife, so it would seem we may have some compulsions here. Even the decade long rotation of wives isn’t enough — so he pays for sex with porn stars, the major leaguers of the lust world. Bonus creepy points for the things he’s said about his daughter, chiefly that she has the “best body”, that “perhaps I’d be dating her” if it wasn’t, you know, disgusting, and best of all “is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter than your wife?” Nice.
Fair to say he’s got more lust than R. Kelly at senior prom. Trump fails the first challenge in the gauntlet.
