Don’t be an asshole, jerk-wad, entitlement-rocking, empathy devoid, cretinous puke. Most especially, do NOT attempt to excuse or explain callous, cruel, compassion-free behavior with claims to Christianity (particularly those of the evangelical stripe). That’s just laughably insulting.
...the Christian concept of forgiveness comes from “repentance, which requires facing and acknowledging the truth about what you have done in all of its utter depravity and horror, without mitigation, without excuse, without acting as if good deeds can erase” it.
It was a word of warning for a community that, writ large, has been complicit in minimizing or enabling rape, molestation and emotional abuse within its walls.

During Roy Moore’s recent Senate campaign, a poll conducted by JMC Analytics of likely Alabama voters found that 39 percent of evangelicals were more likely to vote for Moore after multiple accusations that he’d initiated sexual contact with teenagers when he was in his 30s. (source)Which brings me to white trash:
A term used broadly…to define a person or group of persons embodying the concepts of ignorance, racism, homophobia, violence, alcoholism and anglo-saxon ancestry.The entire, inherited wealth, Trump Crime Family as well as their co-conspiring fuckheaded, fellow frauds are the ultimate in White Trash.
~~~snip~~~
If correctly applied, the term refers to people such as the military personnel who had a wonderful time playing fraternity pranks on the prisoners of Abu Ghraib prison, the corporate scum who build their big box department stores right across the road from mom and pop stores which are then forced out of business for the greater good of a couple of obscenely rich assholes at the top...
The GOP – now the White Trash Party.
Why do so many otherwise sentient beings vote against their own well-being, against the government servants who would work with and for them? Because, in their desperate unhappiness with their lots in life, they’ve been seduced by the shiny, gimcrackery of the White Trash Party’s blatant lies and manipulations.
Fox News: rich people paying rich people to tell middle class people to blame poor people for all their problems.
If you're not careful, the newspapers (Fox Propaganda) will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.
~ Malcolm X
That's all the media and the politicians are ever talking about, the things that separate us, things that make us different from one another. That's the way the ruling class operates in any society. They try to divide the rest of the people. They keep the lower and the middle classes fighting with each other so that they, the rich, can run off with all the fucking money. Fairly simple thing. Happens to work. You know, anything different, that's what they gonna talk about. Race, religion, ethnic and national backgrounds, jobs, income, education, social status, sexuality. Anything they can do, keep us fighting with each other so that they can keep going to the bank. You know how I describe the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class. Keep them showing up at those jobs.
