Is there a commandment he hasn’t broken

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (6 children)

Maybe number 6. Don't murder. But that is hard to confirm. All the other 9 he has afaik.

Edit: Since people keep claiming that he did break it I would just like to say I always interpreted the commandment to mean direct murder.

He killed many more people by declaring wars there is no doubt about it.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 49 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

He gave the ok to blow up fishing boats in Central America. He started a war to distract from the Epstein files which has probably already cost thousands of lives. The economic turmoil the war will cause globally will probably kill tens of thousands, if not more.

He quite possibly pushed his wife down a flight of stairs, killing her.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (7 children)

The first examples are murder but I don't think in the way the commandments mean it. He could justofy it by some kind of way the wars and killing in the bible are justified.

He might have. He was also present at the killing of a baby (Epstein files). But so far we don't have direct proof of him killing someone directly.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

When a president starts a war solely as a criminal obstruction strategy, that isn't justified by the Bible, that's just straight up murder.

Well the Epstein files have him marked as someone present for the murder of a baby. My bet is on 4. He definitely doesn't do shit on Sunday except golf and post bullshit

He's responsible for the deaths of many thousands of innocent people. He is definitely a murderer.

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 4 points 1 month ago (4 children)

He may have not pulled the trigger, but indirectly he is responsible for a lot of deaths.

Improved biblical literacy would go along way to undermine American evangelicalism, sounds good to me

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

It worked for me. Former Bible Quiz champion turned atheist, checking in.

I mean, it was a complex situation with a lot of variables, but my knowledge of the Bible (which I had been taught was absolute truth) along with my knowledge of my church's dogma (which I had been taught was 100% based on the Bible) couldn't stand up to my experience of the world.

I went to university and the "heathens" were nicer and more accepting than the Christians. None of my gay friends were actively trying to make me gay or to stop me from being a Christian (some of them were Christian themselves). My religion professors had a very different view of Christianity than I had been taught in church. The more my world expanded, the less relevant a literal interpretation of the Bible seemed. And my childhood church was just so narrow and sad by comparison.

Shit, according to the Bible he is the spitting image of the antichrist.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, but you see. This is good because it means the rapture is near.

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 16 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Man, can you imagine how pleasant and peaceful it'd be if all these assholes get raptured?

Most of the things the terrorist death cult called Republicans/conservatives/MAGA do go against the bible.

Jesus was, effectively, a socialist advocating for generosity and redistribution after all.

Honestly, if these idiots understood the book they preach we wouldn't be here right now.

What did Trump say his favorite verse was again? Lol.

[–] HrabiaVulpes@europe.pub 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I don't get how americans can swear on bible or even believe in christianity. Did they ever read it? Their whole country, from the moment it was created, from the very first day, was built on constant commitment to being sent to hell.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 6 points 1 month ago

Americans who have actually read the bible are called atheists.

For the nit-pickers perhaps just put him to death one time each for the "bearing false witness" and then we can get to the adultery afterwards.

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

NGL, there is no way I have that many stonings in me. Wouldn't even make it through the last week.

So in the Bible adultery is specifically having sex with another (Hebrew) man's wife, not merely having sex outside marriage. Having sex with other women while married is allowed and sometimes even encouraged in the Bible. For example:

Deuteronomy 20:13-14

And when the Lord your God gives it into your hand, you shall put all its males to the sword, but the women and the little ones, the livestock, and everything else in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as plunder for yourselves. And you shall enjoy the spoil of your enemies, which the Lord your God has given you.

It's plausible Trump has had sex with other men's wives, though no specific example comes to mind.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

the little ones and the livestock? concerning.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 9 points 1 month ago

Oh, he understood that part for sure.

[–] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I like to think they mean as slaves, but who really knows.

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If I remember correctly David did this, didn't he?

[–] Hapankaali@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Enjoying the little ones, you mean? I'm not sure, though Trump has for sure.

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I meant have sex with another ones wife.

[–] Hapankaali@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To be honest, I don't remember. I'm better at remembering the juicy and hilarious stuff, like God casting Greater Bear Summon and a bunch of children immediately pulling aggro.

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just checked. He had sex with his neighbors wife Bathsheba, impregnated her and arranged her husbands death.

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

And he is described in the Bible as "a man after God's own heart."

According to the Bible, fella oughta tie a millstone around his neck and jump into the sea himself rather than try to make an appointment at the pearly gates.

Isn't that a violation of church-state split? Or does that not apply to schools in the US?

[–] aaa999@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

so the bible is kind of important culturally when understanding literature written in english, so us schools will often cover it somewhat in that kind of context in the same way that "what is the quran" is a reasonable thing for a kid to know. presenting the bible as fact goes against the separation, but saying "this is a book" doesn't

trump, being bad, is proposing dumb dumb fascist gibberish propaganda class (illegal, not enforced)

Keep your religion to yourself

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 8 points 1 month ago

And don't forget about his mixed garments!! 🤮

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean to be fair, thats why the bible should be studied. Its a pretty complex text, being extremely internally inconsistant especially because it was written by many. Understanding the historical and literary context is also important. This is true for both believers and non-believers cause if someone in an absolute power condition gives you instructions you still have to interpret it. If your teacher tells you to pay more attention, youre not gonna pay them literally. Now add a thousand years of linguistic change to that and it suddenly means to viewbot your tikslop account.

It's a fantasy novel with too much lore up front

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Rabia is freaking cool af.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

He wouldn't know that though.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What's the point of reading the bible if you don't follow any of its teachings?
