Self-described "Chosen One" of the Evangelicals:

John 8:44

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

The reference to the Sermon on the Mount is always the best retort to "Christians". Like you, Fitz, I have not been religious for a very long time. Compelled by my Mom when I was young, I received Lutheran instruction/indoctrination and upon "confirmation" received a bible. I still have it as a reference tool. While there is some pretty weird stuff in there, the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew chapters 5,6 &7) is perfection in its illustration of the breathtaking and comprehensive hypocrisy of the most vocal and strident "Christian" Republicans. If Republicans had not abandoned a "platform" for their conventions, other than "whatever HE (Trump) says", an anti-Sermon on the Mount platform would catch just about everything that today's Republican Party and Republican people hate most. Note: Democracy (Greece?), vaccines, Mexicans and gun control had not yet been invented.
