This is NOT your home.....

Oh please! That's really all one can say about this tweet.  Pastor (?) Foster, card carrying member of the tin foil hat brigade, tweeted about how the bible comforts himself and others with words.......which, apparently, convey the idea that this planet (world) isn't our home. Ok. Now, taken by itself, this may appear to be a simple tweet about nothing in particular except.....it's Pastor Foster, and as such, it's true meaning is far less mundane than it would appear.  We say this not out of animus, but because he has a track record that can be readily consulted for the purposes of understanding what's really being said.  The Pastor is known for his xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny and all around dislike of anyone who doesn't fit nicely in his little, very limited definition of what it is to be a person, let alone an American.  With that in mind and given his propensity for being less than kindly or welcoming, the TTM translates this tweet to better reflect what is believed to be what he really meant.  Sadly, it does not surprise........

Original tweet

Translation:

Feel the love of God's gentle people.
