Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour
That, when combined with the mere existence of Donald Trump, is a paradox. Or, at the very least, it is a paradox with regards to the fact that millions of so-called "Christians" continue to militantly support Donald Trump and (ridiculously, ludicrously) claim he is a "godly man," anyway.
And that's just one of them (i.e. probably the one he's broken the most frequently and callously). He's obviously broken several more. See also: Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, and Thou shalt not covet. And those are just the obvious ones that he's broken.
Hell, about the only one I could be somewhat confident that Trump probably has not personally broken with his own two hands is Thou shalt not kill, and even that one I'm not 100% certain about. And that's only if you take the very strict, narrow "personally killing someone with your own two hands" view of what murder is. More broadly speaking, though, Trump wouldn't be the only president to have ever murdered people. Or, to put it another way, had people officially murdered on his orders. So, at least in that sense, he's broken that one, too.
So anyway... with all of that in mind... why do so-called "Christians" continue to support Donald Trump, again?
(See also: the Seven deadly sins, in all of which Donald Trump has absolutely luxuriated, repeatedly and frequently.)
