Yeah the Bible doesn't say a particular phrase is derived from biblical concepts."The Lehigh Valley Barbershop was bustling with the next generation of American strivers. The mood among the young men, mostly first- or second-generation immigrants from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, was hopeful. Their candidate, Donald Trump, had just won the presidential election.
...“Kamala said, 'Trump is for the rich, I fight for the poor.’ But I don’t want to be low-class — I hope that’s not a bad way to say it. But I don’t want to be there,” said Christian Pion, 31, referring to Vice President Kamala Harris. He became a U.S. citizen last year, a decade after coming to the United States from the Dominican Republic, and cast his first presidential ballot for Trump. “God doesn’t want you to be poor.”
Next to him, his best friend, Willy J. Castillo, 39, who owns the shop and others, worked the register as he talked about Trump’s drive to succeed, overcome and survive. Castillo, who also voted for Trump, identifies with that: “The Bible says ‘God helps those who help themselves,’ right?”
The mix of hope, drive for success and belief in a God who rewards faith, sometimes with financial accomplishments, has become dominant across the United States and Latin America, experts on Latino religion say. The belief system is sometimes called “seed faith,” “health and wealth gospel,” or “prosperity gospel.”"

This is pretty funny. In fact, the Bible does not say God helps those who help themselves. How classic is it that their support for him is based on a lie, even though it isn't one of his?
Ah, so you don't actually have any original thoughts. You can't cite any of these so-called lies yourself? I have to click on a CNN link?Here is a few to start with, there are many many many more.
Fact check: Trump begins final full day of campaign with repeat lies about immigration and jobs
Too bad this is how democracy works.It's mind boggling. How out of touch can people be?
I wish voters would either do a far better job of informing themselves, or just don't vote.
I practice Buddhism as a practical manner. I'm no monk just simple bodi. The advantage of Buddhism is it's well thought out and concerned with living now ( 8 Fold Noble Path, etc).. So it's a guide for living (the Path) - nirvanaah is really not like salvation by a God.And what does the Buddhist think about all this prosperity gospel garbage?
Nope. I only care about what policies are good for me.Knock off the holier-than-thou bullshit. Everybody on this forum thinks they know what policies are best for everyone.

Lol, it sure as heck beats American Marxist thinking, which only thinks to screw everybody.Well that would be typical of a MAGA conservative: only thinking about what is best for himself when it comes to govt policy.

Knowledge through education.Why do progressives assume that they know what is best for others? Where does that arrogance come from?
So, following a traitor is good for you?Nope. I only care about what policies are good for me.
I think there's a gun-frottage element.So, following a traitor is good for you?
Those are distinctions without a difference. But hey, knock yourself out if playing semantics is what helps you sleep at night.Look at the man in my profile pic. That is Henry George: a writer and political economist who often traded insults with Karl Marx.
If you want to call me a leftist or anarchist, that is fine. But I'm not a Marxist.

Know nothing bullshittery.Those are distinctions without a difference. But hey, knock yourself out if playing semantics is what helps you sleep at night.
Bullshittery appears to be a maga subsistence crop. It may be all they know.Entire books have been written on the differences. Countryboy, you have no clue what you are talking about. Stick to what you DO know.

That's good, the first step is admitting it.Know nothing bullshittery.
More arrogance. Guess that is why Kamala is President-elect.Knowledge through education.

I would expect a lib to be woefully uninformed.LOL
Would not expect a Donnie tool to actually want to know he's been conned.
Thanks for proving my point.I would expect a lib to be woefully uninformed.
You're confusing knowledge with arrogance.More arrogance. Guess that is why Kamala is President-elect.
