Inheriting the earth is a nice carrot to dangle in front of the meek.
In reality, the meek will be lucky to inherit the carrot.

It is obvious that you are not really asking a question and making a point. So can you at least clarify your point. How has the current administration used such scripture to take advantage?

Think of how many people have been hurt by religious fanatics.

One of my all time favourite movies is a spaggetti western... "Trinity is Still my Name"... it's a classic when all those pilgrims set aside their "meeknesses" and get stuck into a bare-nuckle fist fight!
Terrence Hill... :)
