TV interview shows why Pastors are losing credibility. He lies. Period. Blatantly. (atheist, Christian)

[cupper3]

Absolutely amazing the twisting and turning this TV evangelist pastor makes in this CNN interview. Pastor Burns was the one who has been a Trump surrogate many times on TV since his speech at the GOP convention.

He's a lying sack of, well... y'all know the vernacular.

Burns… was never in the Army Reserve. He was in the South Carolina National Guard, from which he was discharged in 2008, CNN found.

As far as a Bachelor’s degree, North Greenville University told CNN he only attended the school for one semester. Burns admitted that he did not finish his degree when CNN asked him about it.

When CNN confronted Burns about the various professional and social exaggerations he had featured on his biography, Burns first said the page had “obviously” been either “manipulated or either hacked or added.”
But the site host, Wix, said there was no evidence of a hack.

But he did walk away and accuse the media of being biased.

Later he did finally owned up to making false or misleading statements in his bio, he did make them to impress people to take him serious.

Trump has had to cast the net pretty far to find blacks and Hispanics willing to endorse him, much less act as surrogates. Most of his Hispanic supporters publicly withdrew their support after his immigration speech the other day. One who did not withdraw dissed his own culture as "causing problems" that would result in "a taco stand on every corner" if allowed to continue. So it doesn't surprise me that a person so needy for respect and approval that he lied about his qualifications to his own congregation, coming clean only when thoroughly outed in public, is embracing the Trump limeligh.

Once again, sterling evidence that the Christian doctrine of sanctification and claims of moral authority are grade-a horse pucky.
