Obama sitting right next to Trump at the Carter Funeral!
They seem to be chatting amiably. I wonder what about.
Melania is on the other (aisle side) of Trump, not looking very cheerful (though it is in fact a funeral).

Oh wait, lemme guess: The pitfalls of batteries in electric boats? Whether it's better to be electrocuted or eaten by a shark? Favorite verses of scripture? Favorite Happy Meal? Whether to replace Obama Care with the ACA? What was in it for Carter in building all those houses for poor people?
PS - All the eulogies were excellent.
PPS - Garth Brooks is almost unrecognizable with a beard and mustache! (He's doing a duet with Trisha Yearwood at Carter's funeral, performing John Lennon's "Imagine".)

Just curious, did they include this verse in church?
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too

Because for President Carter, I think he actually believed in those things, or least towards that direction.
I feel President Carter wasn't for "no religion" - he was religious. Deeply. BUT he wasn't "noun, verb, rapture". He wasn't "go to church 1 day a week, spend 6 days hating the human race"
There's a difference.
He was religious. But not for "kill a bunch of putzes in France and get 72 virgins. And Jews are pigs too"
And then - there's the "I slam religion when it's Christianity - baaaaaaa---- but when Sheeple scouts blow something up I'll cite gun violence statistics and wipe my butt with substaCk "
What God merchants of ALL faiths have always done is use what they claim to be the Word of God to get the masses to follow them and pay them. Currently it's the Religion of Peace doing the fun stuff. And it's Christianity doing it thru the courts and politicians.
Who is the odd man out? YOU PEOPLE -- - I love it.

But indeed they did! See

Let me add that since every detail of this funeral was designed by the Carters, they no doubt chose the song.
I think Carter would be perfectly fine with no organized religion as long as a person lived their life following in Christ's footsteps.
PS - I figured out who Garth brooks looks like: Roy Clark!
