    I hate that when guys like this who wear their faith on their sleeves get found out, it’s all about “repentance and healing”, privately, and never about actually paying the secular penalty for what they did. Ask for repentance not only from God, but from those people you harmed, by admitting what you did publicly and accepting the punishment. And part of healing is spending time in the slammer to reflect on what you’ve done.

      Religion isn’t about not doing bad things, it’s about being forgiven for being a bad person. Religion is the justification.

      For those curious about what the Christian Bible says on the matter:

      Romans 13:1-2
      “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.”

        You are forgetting Romans 13:2.5 , in which Paul added

        “Unless the government is full of Liberals, fuck those guys, amirite?”

        I’m sure that’s in the Trump Bible…
