They were simple questions MW why are you trying to obscure it with scripture? You're are the ones who continually boast of this nation being a product of god which has led us being the greatest Christian nation ever created. I'm simply a poor little atheist who looks at life with no religious blinders on. I see crying little babies who reflect our decline while you [Christians] see greatness due to your wondrous new leader, hand picked by the hand of god, who is going to lead us to the greatest heights ever envisioned by man.
So does our lack of empathy towards the poor reflect our decline as a nation (especially Christian) or does it reflect current and future greatness because god endowed us with a wonderful Christian (though adulteress) leader with the worst comb over ever? (And just a side point. While in the hospital I had one of the hottest little tech who was so incredibly talented at touching the human body that if I haven't committed adultery in the past I sure as hell am looking forwards to doing it in the future!! hallelujah.)
And watchout MW, I'm full of questions today so if you duck one I'm just going to ask a dozen more...
