>>An immoral person does not do moral things.

Actually, they do, but not for the right reason.

Sure they do. That’s how they camoflauge themselves and earn the trust of suckers. Devil’s technique is not to lie 100% of the time but to tell the truth most of the time to make the lie effective.

“An immoral person does not do moral things.”

Immoral people have done, and do, moral things. And moral people do immoral things.

An interesting quote I’ve thought about for years is: “The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason.” (T. S. Eliot) I’m not sure what it means — the “last temptation” part, but it’s something to think about about.

I don’t think that’s true in every case. Biblically David and Paul did some severely immoral things, but they eventually repented -— after they were pushed hard!!-— and God found each of them, under the circumstances, the right man for the job.

It is possible to have a person who does not adhere to your notions of proper sexual morality, but who still is a good person to have on your side of the fight.

What these people never get is that mature adults can separate personal conduct from policy positions. I like many people wish Trump would behave better. But his positions on the issues are far more moral than the sociopathic schemes of Clinton. In respect to issues, Trump is ten times as moral as Clinton will ever be.
