No kidding, passive aggressive. When is an apology really a kick to the knees?

[left that other site]

Wow...I got sucked in by the first paragraph, thinking this arrogant jerk had maybe had some kind of epiphany, that he was really apologizing, that he was repentant, that he had seen the light, that he would now tell us that he is no longer going to believe the lies of the left, that he had changed, that God had truly worked on his heart and opened his eyes.

BUT NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[fproy2222]

To me this was a very long
“I am sorry for how I said it, not what I said.”

With a side of I will say t again.

[Jvette]

This wasn’t an apology at all but an underhanded way to continue to bash President Trump and his supporters.

Using Scripture to justify this garbage is awful.

May God grant Chris true understanding and contrition.

[Jan_Sobieski]

This guy is a smug Freudian elitist using false humility to try and persuade the simple. Since Freudians do not really believe in God, religion, or sin (everything is an illness), this is disingenuous as best, and most likely deceptive. He says he is "angry toward Trump for eroding our societal bonds and institutions". So Obama, Bush, and Clinton were beacons of unity and bi-partisanship? If anything, Trump has merely shown the insanity of left (which this man accuses us and Trump of!?)

He says he is angry toward Trump's "pathological lying" while showing none of the lies. Isn't this false witness, Dr Sigmund Fraud?

He says he is angry at Trump for engaging in "words and actions that damage the dignity of others". However what is Trump supposed to do in defense of himself against the incessant lies and the fanciful tales of the entire media and political establishment? Is defending yourself never justified? They why are you writing this article defending yourself, Dr Fraud?

He says he is angry toward Trump putting a "different form of dirty swamp water in its place". Ah, things were so much better during Obama...(sigh)

He says he is angry toward "my evangelical brothers and sisters in Christ who support the President". Truth is, we are not your brothers, Dr Fraud. Sigmund Freud was a pedophile antichrist who believed the Judeo-Christian god is an illusion, based on the infantile need for a powerful father figure. He called Christianity a Neurosis that should be set aside in favor of reason and science.

He says he is angry at evangelicals "effusive praise of Trump". Anyone who adheres to the philosophies of Freud are "demonically" inspired. Trump has done more to defend the unborn and cut through the lies of political correctness than any President in most of our lifetimes. We will pray for you, Dr Fraud.

He says he is angry at evangelicals who think that "the ends justify the means" when it comes to supporting the President. No Dr Fraud, you just described the demoncratic party (which you no doubt are a part of) that cheats in all elections, kills children and old people, selling their body parts for our "own good".

Dr. Thurman, Thank you for your non-apology apology. I accept it in the spirit it was given.

Let us reason together. As long as you would support any abortion-loving Democrat over Trump, then you are morally unfit to lecture even a Mafia don on what God expects of his children.

Donald Trump has faults, as do we all. But I do not follow him spiritually any more than you do. I approve of his policies, and nothing else matters.

So do yourself, and all of us, a favor. Stop picking at the mote in DJT’s eye, and examine the beam in your own. And as I am rather angry at you for your persistence in this matter, I will try to do the same.

[enumerated]

Oh my god what a dishonest prick!

This whole fake “apology” is just like Nancy Pelosi saying because she’s catholic she is above hating Trump. All that does is make her a hater AND a liar.

Boiled down, the guy says “Sorry I assumed you were evil President Trump. I don’t know for a fact that you are evil. But please get a psychiatric evaluation.”

[wbarmy]

I have let my anger toward the things Trump has done to erode our societal bonds and institutions turn into sin. I have let my anger toward his pathological lying to turn into sin. I have let my anger toward Trump engaging in words and actions that damage the dignity of others turn into sin. I have let my anger toward him not only not draining the swamp but putting a different form of dirty swamp water in its place turn into sin. And, I have let my anger toward Trump being militantly unwilling to face his own fallenness and be truly apologetic for how wounding he is to others turn into sin.

So it is evil Trump's fault you sinned against him??? What a non apology apology for the ages.

[Mr Rogers]

What a pathetic putz! ‘I apologize. You are scum, but it wasn’t nice of me to say so!’

“I believe that there are evil people in the world and that, by definition, they have no redeeming character qualities...”

If that is true, it is extremely rare. For the most part: “The best have some bad in them and the worst have some good in them.” I have an extremely low opinion of Barack Obama, but he probably loves his daughters. I don’t think I’ve EVER met someone with “no redeeming character qualities”.

The guy’s TDS overwhelms any Christian urges he might have. He needs to turn off the TV, stop watching MSNBC and reflect on the Word of God. Which would be good advice to anyone who watches MSNBC.

[Mr Rogers]

“I see exactly the flawed man in the White House in front of my equally flawed self and I’m thankful to God that He blessed us with that flawed man in the White House instead of the evil woman who aspired to it.”

AMEN!

[cloudmountain]

Arrogant jerk. Having failed with full-throated insult, he now turns to disingenuous fake humility. God bless him, but what a jerk.

Maybe he thinks that the Democrat field of candidates is WONderful.

[cloudmountain]

Me too AMEN!

[unlearner]

“Evangelicals who support Trump, I challenge you to spend time between now and the 2020 election reading and viewing other sources of input on the President than what you turn to on a regular basis.”

Dear Mr. Thurman,

You have no credibility to be passing out advice to anyone.

Go get a real job for ten year and come back with some recommendations from peers, bosses, customers, etc. Then maybe you’ll have something worthwhile to listen to.

Other than that, anyone on this forum has more credibility to hand out advice on President Trump than you.

[Guenevere]

Piece of filth!

Pathetic piece of filth!

[Frapster]

Agreed.

[Flaming Conservative]

Self-righteous jerk. He is not fooling anyone, and his asking for forgiveness is hollow and corrupt. At first, he sounds repentant, but then he says what he REALLY wants -— accusing President Trump of all manner of sins, then “in love” (HA!), telling him to get a psych evaluation. A more bitter and self-righteous article, I have never read. Shame on you, Chris Thurman!

[kiryandil]

I’m tired of rumored serial pedophile Chris Thurman of attacking our President.

[Faith Presses On]

Wolf in sheep’s clothing propaganda.

Despite the claims to be a conservative, he truly can’t be, from how he looks at things. And considering he’s dishonest in claiming to be so, and isn’t a conservative, and seems to hold up unbelievers as righteous, it’s doubtful he’s a genuine Christian as well.

[dirtymac]

I challenge you to look into your own soul and tell us what you see. It will do you good to get the demon(s) out and purify yourself.

You are a liar and an evil person. Satan has hold of you and you are trying to lead the world astray. It isn’t your flawed nature to say thing in a harsh manner, it is your misguided attempt to lead Christians astray from one of the only Presidents in rennet history that support our Christian faith.

your an evil person as is the magazine that supports you. I will never read the Christian Post again. Overtaken by evil
