Lies?

What is the deal with Donald Trump? He is telling lies and getting away with it. I don't get it.These people who call themselves Christian are not saying anything about these blatant lies and they want him as President! You've got to be kidding!

About the main reason I have not kept up with any blog that I or anyone else writes (especially online) is because I do not want to be involved in a back and forth that seems to be endless with no resolution. It just seems to go on and on.

I am unashamedly and unapologetically Black and female -- AND Christian -- all of which I believe is of equal importance. If someone can come up with a reason why one is more important than the other, by all means tell me. I am almost 100% certain that White Christians would say that being Christian is the most important thing. I see it as very important, and perhaps it is most important. But being Black and female is just as important because to believe that thing about God made me, I also need to believe that what God has made is at least as important.

And allow me to digress briefly -- I'm going back a few years to a former Presidential candidate. This candidate had a Pastor that the world seem to bash because the world heard a brief excerpt from a sermon that Pastor preached. Let me help you. I heard the entire sermon, and what was excerpted was taken out of context. (I also want to say that the term "unashamedly and unapologetically" came from this same preacher, the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, whom I have had the pleasure of hearing and meeting.)

One of my pet peeves in life is people who jump to conclusions. I have been like this for many years! (I even remember putting up a flyer or something on a former job about people making assumptions -- I did it at least a couple of times because it must have offended somebody; it kept being taken down; so sorry you were offended, and I hope you read this to understand why I put it up in the first place.) But all you need to do is check your facts.

And I especially want to say this to preachers -- please, Please, PLEASE, check your facts! This is one of the reasons I think Christianity is in the sorry state it is in -- whatever comes up comes out, and you don't even check your facts! Even if you don't care, other people do, and those are the people you should be trying to reach.

Maybe that's why you like Donald Trump!
