    He’s literally quoting the bible at a religious event, in his post as a Canadian official, and saying that these are his guiding values. The fact that you’re trying to spin this as anything else is frankly incredible.

      Yes, he was quoting from religious trash, but the point remains, he did not:

      declare religious values can and should frame how politicians act.

      That is a very different argument and not something he actually said or did.

        Except that he does exactly that by stating that he gets his values from religion. Perhsaps you don’t understand the difference between characterization and quoting?
