For the past few months or so, Marco Rubio has been tweeting a bible verse per day. The theme has been predominantly verses to calm our fears about the political climate we’re in. A recent example:

The evil understand nothing of justice, but those who seek the LORD understand everything. Proverbs 28:5

Yesterday’s contribution:

“Do not be afraid; just have faith.” Mark 5:36

Here’s the rub. THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM depends heavily on Mark 5:36.

They would like nothing more than for all of us to bury our heads in the sand while they pick our pockets and rig the system for their special interests. Just give us the keys and we’ll take care of it. Don’t you worry your little heads about it none.

Soledad O’Brien frequently trolls Rubio and puts up a counter verse to illustrate the technique of cherrypicking verses to suit your agenda:

Mark 7:6 ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.”

I don’t follow Marco Rubio. I only see his posts when someone I follow responds to a tweet of his. But if I were to troll him, here would be my contribution:

1 Timothy 6:5 Their minds are corrupt and they have turned their backs on the truth. To them, a show of Godliness is just a way to become wealthy.
