Your use of the word "wickedly" is excruciatingly appropriate:


"From Middle English, an alteration of wicke, ultimately from the Old English word wicca or sorcerer. In the age that the Bible was written, the British candle makers used to twist their wicks before they dipped them into the candle wax so the wax would adhere to the wick. Thus the term ‘wicked’ came to mean ‘twisted’ and in the King James Bible that was written in the Old English times, being ‘wicked’ meant twisting what was righteous."

Thanks for the background on the word wicked, I had heard that a long time ago, but had forgotten about it.

Thank you for that eteological reference.

It was most illuminating.

Yes, Obama is a Sorcerer who is twisting what is righteous.

The Man of Lies.
