Biden has Christian values

To the editor:

This letter is inspired by the news report I saw about the Franciscan University of Steubenville having the nondenominational gathering on Oct. 3. I was impressed with Bishop Jeffrey Monforton saying “We have to address the cancer of racial discrimination in our country and like a virus, it spreads everywhere. Let us recognize the cure …”

What a wonderful statement, yet so many Christians don’t think that way outside of church. I have wonderful neighbors and friends who are kind and would do anything to help someone in need yet they are voting for a president who is a racist. Then I hear from people that say they are voting for the Republican values. Well, to be Christian is to love thy neighbor as thyself, so putting human beings in cages because they have a different color skin is not Christian. And the bit about they are taking away our jobs doesn’t get it either, because they do the hard labor on farms that Americans won’t do. Thou shall not commit adultery leaves him out. Thou shalt not steal leaves him out too for the many contractors he did not pay for work done. What about thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor? He lies every day about other people to make himself look like he’s better than them. This type of person appeals to people that have no integrity. He did say he loves the uneducated.

If you speak to a true Republican, they are not voting for this president because he is a racist and has no values. He even had the chance during the debate to denounce the white supremacists and wouldn’t. He told them to “stand down and stand by.” That statement should have sent chills down your back. He is pitting Americans against Americans. He is on the edge of causing a civil war. He doesn’t care about you. He only cares about himself.

Vice President Joe Biden is Catholic by faith in case you didn’t know. True Republicans are voting for him. He values his Christian brothers and sisters no matter what color skin they have or what religion they are.

So, when you go to the polls Nov. 3 and are thinking of voting for Donald Trump, you are not voting for Christian values, you are voting for a man that has none.
