The Bible on politicians

Six things there are, which the Lord hateth, and the seventh his soul detesteth:  Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,  A heart that deviseth wicked plots, feet that are swift to run into mischief, A deceitful witness that uttereth lies, and him that soweth discord among brethren. 



Come on ABS . Do you really expect us to believe that Proverbs 6 refers to current American politicians?

Yes, and thank you for the question pretend interlocutor.

Lets take in order the six things God hates and see if what God hates does not pertain to the current crop of Congress Critters:

1. Haughty eyes?

2. A lying tongue?

3. Hands that shed innocent blood?

4. A heart that deviseth wicked plots?

5. Feet that are swift to run into mischief?

6. A deceitful witness that uttered lies?

Yes, all six of those behaviors are present in the current crop of crummy congress critters.

Well, then ABS, surely you are not going to say that God's soul detests him that sows discord among brethren?

Thank you for that follow-up question pretend interlocutor  It is a rhetorical question, right?
